Our class was hands-on. First, Kong demonstrated the techniques in the classroom and then we each had our own station to prepare the dishes we selected at the beginning of class. We began by learning to make spring rolls.<\/p>\n

Then took a trip to the market where Kong showed us various Thai fruits, herbs, and other ingredients. We didn’t imagine that there were so many varieties of eggplant!<\/p>\n

Eggs and delicious fruits;<\/p>\n
