Thai cooking is sometimes described as the Asian version of nouvelle cuisine.  Thai cooking manages to bring together diverse spices and aromas into perfect harmony, not only in each dish, but also throughout the entire meal.  Thailand’s most well known noodle dish, Pad Thai, combines cooked rice noodles with tofu or shrimp, crushed peanuts, bean sprouts, garlic, chilies and eggs. Tom Kah Gai, the spicy chicken soup, is flavored with galangal, a rhizome with a hot, ginger-peppery flavor.  Mary gives sound, basic information to begin enjoying this nouvelle cuisine at home.  Two classes are being offered.
