After my first week of hard work at TCDF’s Eco-Logic, the other volunteers and I were ready to relax and enjoy our two days off. There are several activities to enjoy at and around Eco-Logic, but we decided to take a Thai cooking class.
First, we were given a cooking handbook with a list of potential dishes. We were then able to select the four dishes we’d all like to make. The handbook also included a place for notes, other recipes, and a Thai-English food dictionary.
We decided to make Massaman Curry with Tofu and Potatoes, Sweet and Sour Vegetables, Cinnamon Soup with Egg and Tofu, and Papaya Salad. I was not enthusiastic about the soup choice… but it’s not as strange as it sounds.
The first part of the class is spent chopping the many vegetables. With five cooks, it went fairly quickly.
After all the veggies were chopped we went downstairs to the kitchen for the actual cooking.
Our dishes were served as the shared meal for dinner.
It was fun to play chef for the night!
