Thai cooking

Obviously, we couldn't spend 3 weeks in Thailand without a cookery course, so we were pleased to find that Mina's cookery class on Yao Noi was listed No.1 of all the islands activities on Tripadvisor.

We had the class to ourselves and really enjoyed both the class and Mina's company and her attitude. The fact that she could have been Jeanette's Thai sister was a little disconcerting but we got used to it.

This was a simple and effective introduction to cooking Thai food which dealt with all the basics but also concentrated on the style of cooking rather than just with a few set recipes. Had to stop at the market on the way back to pick up some dried ingredients to carry home and will have to look in the hardware shops in Phuket town for a coconut grater - although I doubt mine will be as stylish as Mina's.

A great way to spend the morning and a good lunch as well.
