About This Adventure

Dive into the vibrant world of Thai cuisine by mastering the art of creating a flavorful green curry from scratch. Learn to balance essential taste profiles, craft a homemade curry paste, and perfect your cooking techniques. Enjoy your culinary creations at the chef’s table, complete with aromatic jasmine rice and a complimentary drink.

Sweet, salty, sour and fragrant, it’s hard to beat a Thai green curry – it’s one of the most popular dishes in the world, and for good reason! Discover how to recreate this iconic, surprisingly versatile recipe by making a curry paste from scratch (a skill you’ll use for life), then transform it into an aromatic curry that packs a real flavour punch.

What you’ll do:

  • Master the art of balancing the five key taste profiles – salty, sour, sweet, bitter and umami.
  • Get confident using classic spices and aromatics.
  • Pound up an unbeatable Thai green curry paste – a recipe you need in your repertoire.
  • Pan-fry chicken (or tofu) and mixed mushrooms to perfection.
  • The best bit: build the ultimate Thai green curry using your fragrant paste, star ingredient and crunchy green veg.
  • Uncover the secrets to serving up perfectly cooked jasmine rice – every time.
  • Garnish to perfection with Thai basil, fresh mint, finely chopped chillies and a squeeze of lime.
  • Take a seat at our chef’s table to tuck into your Thai feast.

  • Perfectly balanced Thai green curry with chicken or tofu
  • Aromatic jasmine rice
  • A complimentary glass of bubbles on arrival (or a soft drink, if you prefer)
  • Water is provided throughout and you’re welcome to purchase wine, beer, spirits & mixers, cocktails and softs from our drinks menu.

What to expect:
