Description

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! With your little chef by your side, discover how to recreate this iconic, surprisingly versatile recipe by making a curry paste from scratch (a skill you’ll both 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.
  • 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 and a squeeze of lime.
  • Take a seat at our chef’s table alongside your little chef to tuck into your Thai green curry together.

What you’ll eat & drink:

  • Perfectly balanced Thai green curry with chicken or tofu
  • Aromatic jasmine rice
  • Water is provided throughout.

What to expect:

  • Easy-to-follow demos, led by our expert teaching chef
  • Tuck into your Thai green curry together around our chef's table (or pack a box to take home, if you prefer)
  • A digital recipe pack with everything you need to recreate the magic at home
  • All ingredients, equipment and aprons will be provided.
  • You’ll work alongside your little one to recreate the dishes at your cooking station.
