Description

Southeast Asian cuisine relies on distinctive spices and specialty ingredients that can initially seem mysterious and intimidating; items such as lemongrass, Kaffir lime leaves, galangal, palm sugar, fish sauce, and curry paste are now accessible and easy to learn how to use.

In this engaging class, you will meet in Chinatown's vibrant shopping district and visit favorite ingredient specialty stores to select all the fresh items needed to prepare an authentic Southeast Asian menu. You will cook Chicken Satay, Chicken Green Curry, Coconut Rice, Pad Thai, Tomato Cucumber Salad, and Coconut Tapioca Pudding; each dish showcases the region's characteristic flavors and cooking techniques.

Class Details:

Meeting location: Bangkok Center Grocery, 104 Mosco Street between Mott and Mulberry streets, at 11:00 AM
You will enjoy a guided tour of the store to discover ingredients, shop together for your cooking project, and then proceed to Abigail's Kitchen to prepare your meal

Chef Roger, was very knowledgeable. He gave us clear directions as we prepped and shared information about the ingredients we were using and their origins and importance in each dish. I appreciated the one-on-one attention he provided and walked away with a few helpful knife tips that I will be using at home. My husband and I really enjoyed this Shop and Cook Class: Thai Cuisine.

Chef Abigail Hitchcock was just wonderful. She showed me some of her favorite places in Chinatown to shop for Thai ingredients, fish, and veggies. She has so much experience there and I, who am relatively new to the city, would have no way of sorting all the options out like that. Then we went to her restaurant and spent the afternoon cooking in her professional kitchen before her first service started. I learned a ton and she is funny and charming and easy to be around. And the food was amazing. I take a lot of cooking classes in NYC and this was hands down the best yet. I will be back for more!
