A hands-on, collaborative cooking class culminating in family-style lunch served with wine and beer.

Let’s transport ourselves to the streets of Thailand with the smell and taste of street foods -- whether it is catching your breakfast at a market in Southern Thailand, or a strolling a night market in Bangkok. The menu is gluten-free to boot!
