This was a unique solo experience. I was collected by Mam and her husband, Bjorn, in their air conditioned car at the agreed venue and transported to the food market for a look around. Mam bought me some street food to sample as we wandered around picking up some of the ingredients we would be using during the afternoon. I was able to ask her questions about the ingredients on display as we passed them. Then back to her and Bjorn’s home to start the cooking. The whole experience was very informative and relaxed. I cook a lot of Asian food at home but it was useful to pick up on the details that you don’t get from recipe books. Also discovered a new special grater for making the Green Papaya Salad – a definite must! A fabulous experience and well worth it. Highly recommend. Thanks Mam and Bjorn.
