April 21st Cooking Class Menu (same as April 7th menu if you missed out on that class)

Kris just emailed me the menu for April 7th-Variations on Curry
 
1)     Chile reduction sauce (which is a curry by definition) as the base for Tom Ka Gai

2)     Chicken Stir fry with veggies, garlic and madras sauce

3)     Red Curry as the base for Spinach Chicken

4)    Drunken Dragon Wrap using green curry

  
This should be a great class, so make your reservation asap. If needed we can repeat this class on April 21st.

April 7th Cooking Class is booked. Please note minor change in menu:)

New Spring Dish!

Here is my newest creation for Malee’s spring menu. This dish was inspired by the famous pla kung (พล่ากุ้ง). Come and try it.

We are scratching our heads….

Trying to decide what to do for our next 4 cooking classes. The March 24th class is full, we will be offering the April classes on April 7th and April 21st; May classes will be the 5th and 19th. So now is the time to let us know what you would like to learn and we will add it to the menu. The classes are fun, of course they are because Kris and I teach them, as well as informative. They start at noon and are followed by a wine paired luncheon. The cost is $60 for everything, such a deal!

Oh, and by the way, we are at the Downtown Scottsdale Farmers Market every Saturday from 8 am (YAWN) to 1 pm. We are using the market to test out new items such as duck tacos with asian slaw. We are also offering do it yourself Tom Ka Gai kits which includes pre-portioned ingredients and the recipe, all you have to add is protein, mushrooms, and a little broth. It is a great way to impress your friends and family with home cooked Malees soup. Also, if there are any other items that you would like to purchase as a take home do it yourself kit, let me know. Pad Thai maybe?????????
