I would be very pleased to teach thai cooking to the group from Siam Ocean World. When I was in Melbourne, Australia I went to see the Aquarium which is run by the same company. However, I prefer Siam Ocean World as the design is better and it has more interesting sea animals. At my school we cook 5 dishes and both Thais and other nationalities who work in Siam Ocean World Bangkok always enjoy the cooking classes. More information about Siam Ocean World is found at http://www.siamoceanworld.co.th/.
American Women's Club-Bangkok
Today I had a class with an American Women's Club. (Baser; do you know the name of the Club; good to use the real name)
Mrs Doris, one of members has taken my cooking class before and she loved it so much she took many day classes last year.
This time around she brought a group of people from her club to take my class.
Everybody was happy and seemed like they knew a lot about Thai food,because they all live in Thailand.
I love to cook with housewives because they really use the techniques
I teach to prepare delicious Thai meals for their families.
One more thing I want to mention is that Mrs. Doris' group really liked and appreciated Thai culture and loved learning about
Thai cooking. I look forward to seeing many of the members again soon.
Darby high School from England
20 students from England Darby hight school attended my school today to learn Thai cooking. These were young teenagers and they all cooked very well. They said that thai cooking very easy to prepare, butit's hard to find the ingredients because most of them are
unfamiliar with items like ginger, lime leaves, and the various kinds of herbs found in Thai dishes. Our Market Tour tour made them more knowledgeable about Thai food and culture. Once the right ingredients were selected they really enjoyed the traditional methods
of preparation using mortars and other hand tools, instead of food processors. They found Thai cooking more fun and quick and easy as well.
Some of them knew how to cook before, but for others it was their first time cooking---ever! I'm happy to be able to send them back home
knowing how to cook some tasty Thai dishes for their family and friends
The group consisted of 20 people so I divided them into groups of two for each wok.
Each group worked together to prepare 5 dishes
They all got hands-on training in how to cut meat and vegetables and pound curry paste, and how to use the wok properly
Everybody looked like they were having a great time and seemed excited to create great Thai food with their own hands.
It 's easy to learn Thai cooking with Silom Thai Cooking School ---every body can cook !
COOKING WITH KIDS
When I was a little kid, I always helped my parents cooking in the kitchen. Today I got to turn back the clock a little, through a fantastic chance to cook for some Ausie kids from Sydney.They were very interested in cooking and enjoyed the market tour too.
They like to see fresh stuff from the market. I let one of them grate coconut with a traditional coconut greater. He really liked it Today was fun, even though it took alot of time to cook some of the dishes.Tom yum goong took an hour but for the kids, they were happy to finally get to taste the tum yum goong and green curry, all made with their own hands, and they got to help each other with the green curry paste and all the other preparations. It's always good for kids to learn to work together. They also got our recipe cook book to surprise their parents and friends with a perfect home cooked Thai meal!
Thai Food Competition by W. L. Gore & Associates Hong kong
This is the second food competition at Silom Thai Cooking School Our honored guests, this time around, were from W. L. Gore & Associates, Hong kong 15 employees came to our school for this event We divided them up into 5 teams of 3 persons each. Each team was required to cook the same 5 dishes I first demonstrated how to cook each dish and then each team was given a recipe book with recipes for all 5 dishes. then they took turns cooking the 5 dishes. We started with tomyum goong Then we made Pad Thai.Then glass noodle salad and Green Curry with chicken
We finished with mangos with sticky rice It's always a little messy and exciting, with everyone run ning around and every team working so hard.
I love to see them help each other and use team work to get things done. With people sharing work this way they make strong bonds with their colleagues too! The event had a lot of excitement and it was fun for everyone, and of course, everyone loved tasting the food when it was cooking and everyone got to eat their own work at the end.
To all the participants:
At Silom Thai Cooking School we love to share these good memories with you and hope to see you all again in future!

After spending 4 days with
Craig I can see that he’s a good cook,
and that he really loves Thai soup. We worked

loved them all.

Thank You to Jeff Fenech Family for visiting and having lunch at Silom Thai Cooking School
About Jeff Fenech
The three-time world champion at bantamweight, super bantamweight and featherweight is arguably one of the greatest boxers Australia has ever produced. Inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota , New York in June 2002, Fenech is recognised around the world as one of the sports greats. A controvserial draw with African great Azumah Nelson when the majority of the world saw him win, cost Fenech what would have been an amazing fourth world title at super featherweight. A career spanning 1984 to 1996, Fenech turned professional after a controversial quarter final points loss at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Trained by Johnny Lewis, Fenech was known as the "Marrickville Mauler" and was like a pocket dynamo in the ring, capturing the hearts of Australian sporting fans with his unique expression, "I love youse all". The head trainer, manager and promoter now passes on his never ending resources of boxing knowledge to the members of Team Fenech.
