Malee's is ALWAYS a great place for a fantastic meal - and yesterday we attended one of their cooking classes and WOW - every expectation was exceeded. Deirdre and Kris teach this very hands on experience and share their enthusiastic passion for Thai food. The class is an intimate group of 10-12 (ours only had 8 as I think there were a few no shows). The classes do book up so reserve early. The class costs $70 per person and is worth every penny!
You start off with a welcome mimosa to start your cooking juices and then with supervised help we prepared Drunken Dragon Wrap, Tom Ka (soup), Mango Fish(my favorite), Jalapeno Fried Rice (my NEW favorite-and must have). They take care of all the prep work and really help you learn the layering aspect of Thai cooking. You get to sample all your dishes and take them home with you - but don't sample too much because after class you are treated to a full wine paired lunch of all the dishes on your class menu. You will not leave hungry and you have a full to go meal of your own dishes and also a goodie bag of some Thai spices and ingredients. Another shout out to Deirdre and Kris, all three of us came in as fond of Malee's but left as raving fans. This is really a must do and a great gift idea. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon!
