Indian and Thai Cooking Classes

Brian and I wanted to find a way to meet people here in Bury and have some fun, so Brian started looking at our local college and found some fun cooking classes we could each take.  Brian ended up taking Oriential Cooking, and I took Indian Cooking.  We both had so much fun in our classes and found out how to make some really fun, great-tasting dishes!

In my class, I made a bunch of different curries with prawns, chicken, and lamb meatballs.  I also made a great vegetable rice as a side dish.  Indian is definitely the big food over here, so it's fun to be able to learn how to cook it at home.

Brian made Thai Fragrant Chicken, Beef Curry, Pad Thai, Tom Yum Soup with Chicken Won Tons, and SUSHI!!!  Since you've probably heard me complain about not being able to get good sushi in the UK (and not being able to get any at all here in Bury!), you know what a big deal this was for us.  Here's the rolls Brian made in class:

We actually put his cooking skills to the test this weekend and made sushi at home for the first time.  Brian was a great teacher, and together we made 3 solid rolls using tuna and prawns and other fresh veggies.  When we come home, we will definitely be throwing a few sushi parties!  =)  What do you think?!?

I am continuing on to Indian Cooking 2 starting this week; unfortunately Brian's class doesn't have another level.  We'll keep you posted on any other new cooking adventures!
