Thai Thursday: Massaman Curry & Larb Evening Cookery Class

Explore the Rich Flavors of Thailand

Spice up your Thursday night with an exciting culinary adventure at Thai Thursday, a hands-on cookery class that will introduce you to the bold, aromatic flavours of Thailand.

In this immersive evening class, you’ll learn to create two iconic Thai dishes—Massaman Curry and Larb—perfectly balancing heat, sweet, sour, and salty for a full Thai-inspired feast.

Begin the evening by diving into the complexities of making Massaman Curry, a rich, aromatic curry with roots in Muslim Thai cuisine. You’ll learn how to make the curry paste from scratch, combining ingredients like lemongrass, galangal, coriander, and cumin to create a vibrant base. The slow-cooked curry, infused with tender beef or chicken, is finished off with coconut milk, potatoes, and roasted peanuts, resulting in a perfectly balanced, fragrant dish.

Next, you’ll prepare Larb, a zesty and refreshing Thai salad that brings together ground meat (often pork or chicken), fresh herbs, lime, and toasted rice powder. With the right balance of fish sauce, chili, and mint, Larb becomes a deliciously vibrant dish with incredible texture and depth.

Throughout the evening, our expert instructors will guide you through the preparation, cooking techniques, and presentation tips to ensure your dishes are bursting with authentic Thai flavour.
