with Daniel Pravit Fethke

Date: Saturday, July 27, 2024, 11:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m

Tuition: $150

This workshop will include snacks along the way, and conclude with a group meal of your collective making.

An alternative cooking class, The Thai Table will take a succulent, in-depth dive into the delicious, messy, and spicy details of Thai food. Focusing on Bangkok-style cooking, we will explore the spicy-sour-sweet-salty axes of Thai cuisine—all while cooking a well-rounded dinner feast that emphasizes balance and high-quality ingredients (which will all be provided).
