We had a lot of fun with Chef Scotty! He had things prepped and organized ahead of time so that we could easily participate and learn how to prepare the dish. Scotty was knowledgeable and patient. He shared a lot of detailed information about Thai cooking, from cooking terms to how to properly cut Chinese broccoli to the best places to find ingredients.
The only thing that could be improved is the venue. It was hot and could use some fans to get the air circulating.
Thanks, Scotty!
