Thai Cooking Lessons Cardiff
About My Lessons
Hi, my name is Sitanan. I am from the North of Thailand. Each region has its’ own style and specialities.
Nam-prik ong is a representative dish of my region. This is spicy pork and tomato best served with sticky rice and steamed vegetable. It would be a five minute job for me to demonstrate.
“My country’s cuisine is healthy and balanced”
For five years I owned a family restaurant with my mother in Mae Sai- near the golden triangle (Denzel Washington’s character paid the town a visit in the movie American Gangster).
I love the region for its beauty and links with the cultures of China, Myanmar(Burma) and Laos. My cooking is influenced by many cultures.
In the restaurant there was a demand from Thai people for new eating expeiences – Sushi, oriental snacks and international dishes with a Thai influence. I have knowledge of Contemporary Thai Cuisine as it has been influenced by other regional and international cultures.
“We Thais know we are the best cooks in the world!”
A recipe that is very popular is my Thai Macaroni- Italian pasta prepared with some meat, coconut and lemon grass- Aroy Mak! (very delicious in Thai).
I have lived in cardiff, UK for two years and have been able to resource many authentic ingredients. I will be happy to connect you with reasonably priced vendors that will enhance your dishes at prices far more competitive than supermarkets.
I have a relaxed and pragmatic approach to cookery and will seek to bring you confidence to relax in my culture. As your teacher I will bring you confidence and inspiration. My countrys cuisine is healthy and balanced.
“Fantastic! Sitanan was wonderful and a great teacher, I would reccommend this to anyone and everyone” 10/10 - Dominique – Dec 2011
