Tamarind cooking school

We met at Tamarind restaurant and taken to a local market to check out the fresh ingredients that we would use at the cooking school..
Then we drove to a place where there was an open air kitchen in a village like camp kitchen setting.
We learnt to make 5 Lao dishes, starting with sticky rice, a dipping sauce called jeow, steamed fish called mok pa, stuffed lemongrass with chicken mince, buffalo salad called laap, and dessert of sticky rice in coconut milk and fruits. We learnt to wrap the fish in banana leaf, and create a lemongrass basket to stuff the chicken mince in.
The lesson was very well structured and delivered and the best part was we had a beautiful lunch after the lesson.Read more
