Phuket Thai Cookery School

1/24/2010

On our last full day in Phuket, Boy 1 and I went to the Phuket Thai Cookery School, again.  If you were reading back in April of 2009, it is teh same school we went to before. The last time I had wanted to go to a Friday or Saturday class because they take you to the local market where you buy the ingredients for what you are going to make in class that day.  The market was amazing & I am glad we had someone to show us around.  Here are some of the fun things we encountered....

I've tried looking this one up, but have had no luck.  Our guide told us this is palm sugar before it is processed ~

birds eye chilies, used in chili paste

This is a Thai dessert made from some sort of bean if I am remembering correctly. We did not love it.

Turtles, these are not sold as pets.

Chili paste, chili paste and more chili paste!
They showed us how coconut cream and coconut milk are made....
Picture
You start with raw coconut...
Picture
Run it through a press to squish out all the juice ~
Picture
The coconut after it has been run throug the press twice ~
Picture
After the first press you have coconut cream, after the second press you have coconut milk, which she is holding up in this picture.
Picture
Kaffir lime, they use the peel and the leaves in many Thai dishes!
Picture
Yard long beans, small purple eggplant (they also have small green eggplant) and some weed/flower I don't remember the name of.
Picture
Pea size eggplant.
Picture
She told us that some Thai people use these big ass, nasty, dried cockroaches in their chili paste. They do not use them at the cooking school. Thank God.

    Proud Army wife and mother to 4 wonderful children.  I love to cook, travel, work out and scrapbook life’s adventures when I find the time.  We just got orders & are heading back to the states in March 2010.  I'm bummed that our time has been cut short, but proud of Hubby for the reason why.
