Better than take-out: Classic Pad Thai

Description

Due to limited seating, this class can only accept bookings of 2 or more. If you are booking your class as a group please make the reservation under one name, as a full booking group.

Escape to the streets of Thailand as we create one of the most famous Thai classics, Pad Thai!

In this fun and hands-on class, you will be guided step-by-step in recreating this Thai classic known for its diverse flavor profile of sweet, salty, sour and spicy. You will learn basic knife skills, how to properly prepare the traditional noodles and how to build the flavor profile of an authentic Pad Thai sauce from scratch! Once you have created your masterpiece, you will then plate, garnish and devour your creations with your fellow foodies in class. You will also gain insight on how to source fresh, seasonal ingredients and specialty spices in order to recreate the perfect Pad Thai again at home.

No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).

Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in. You will be seated with your booking party and socially distanced from other guests. Please notify us of your dietary restrictions by emailing hello@cocusocial.com with at least 48 hours advance notice. Our venue partner, Quigley Fine Wines, will have a wonderful selection of pours waiting for you. Please note that drinks are available for purchase from the venue and are NOT included in your ticket price. Outside drinks are not available.

We love chef Scott! This is the second class we’ve been to and we’re already planning our next class. The venue is great, it’s really nice that it’s a private and quiet space so we can learn. He’s so knowledgeable and funny. The recipes are accessible and easy to recreate at home. We got this class for my mother-in-law as a Christmas gift, and we all had a great time. She even won the raffle and got a free bottle of Prosecco!
