MASTERCLASS
Ready, steady, cook!
The popular cooking class from local eatery Thaikhun has made its return in time to inject some heat, spice and flavour into spring. Guests will be guided through authentic dishes from start to finish – and no one is left behind! Recurring every Sunday, if you are an admirer of the restaurant, this can’t be missed: five starters and mains from its menu are covered, from pad Thai to tom yum soup. You will soak up the knowledge of head chef Kim Kaewraikhot. Of the class, he says: “We’re so excited our cooking schools are back at Thaikhun Cambridge. We have taken the time to perfect them, so our guests feel a true taste of all Thailand has to offer throughout their experience. We have some great meals planned, where guests can put their culinary skills to the test, or simply enjoy creating a classic dish in a group environment.” He adds: “The best Thai food comes from using the freshest ingredients, along with the skilful art of preparation, combining the right ingredients at the right time to create an exceptional dish.”
