Thai Classics at Home

Learn to prepare three beloved Thai dishes in this hands-on cooking class at Columbus State Community College. You'll master the art of balancing the five essential flavor profiles—sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and spicy—that make Thai cuisine so distinctive. Under the guidance of Chef Instructor Shawnie Kelley, you'll prepare Tom Yum Soup, Red Curry Panang with Beef, and Thai Basil Stir-fried Vegetables. The class takes advantage of professional wok stations, giving you access to restaurant-quality equipment while you learn. This is a great option for families interested in exploring new cuisines and building cooking skills together. The included glass of wine adds a nice touch for the adults in the group. Since Thai food tends to be naturally gluten-free and nutritious, it's also a smart choice for families with dietary preferences or restrictions. No prior cooking experience is necessary—just come ready to have fun and take home some delicious new recipes to make at home.
