Thai Style, Brighton

I recieved a cooking lesson for my birthday, which me and my gf went to. We both had a great time, went to local shops and brought the food with Jiab the chef, then went back and cooked the best massaman curry I've ever eaten :D

Jiab is really lovely and a great tutor! We learnt everything from the ground up, like how to roast the herbs and spices to make the curry pastes that we then went on to use to make the curry.

Infact we enjoyed it som much we went back last week to make Pad Thai and Tom Yam soup!

After returning from an adventurous and glorious tour of Thailand, I have simply fallen in love with the culture and delights that Thailand and the people have to offer.

On a daily basis we were exploring and sampling traditional Thai cooking at its best, enjoying its colour, tastes and fragrance, that are synonymous with 'authentic’ Thai cooking.

Sadly it has become apparent to us that most Thai restaurants in the UK only pander to the western palette, serving rather bland imitations.

We were excited not only to discoverer Thai-Style offering Thai cookery courses, but language courses and anything else in between!

So, we booked a cookery course!
Both Jiab and Tom are very friendly and informative, nothing is too much trouble. I wasn’t aware that all the ingredients you would require can be sourced locally. This is more than just cooking, Jiab actually takes you shopping and teaches you how to choose the correct stuff. They make it a friendly and fun way to learn.

We are now equipped with the tools and the knowledge to begin embracing the 'Thai-style’ through cooking at home. A healthy alternative to going out to a restaurant where we pay top dollar for disappointing Thai food.

We now know how to prepare and cook an array of delicious authentic Thai meals.

What a gem!
