A
TASTE OF THE CLASSES
Honestly, when it
comes to culinary classes and workshops there is such a respectable range
world-wide, that we are spoilt for choice! More than just humble store selling
kitchen utensils, Tools of the Trade in Singapore is a very food-focused retail
outlet that has cooking studios, a bistro and even a gourmet market all
appropriate positioned next to one another. The cooking classes they offer
are very well-received with chefs coming in to give demonstrations and teaching
you how to make anything running the gamut from a lesson in ‘slow food’ or
‘local treats’ like the famed Chilli Crab.
The constant workshops and classes
at the Blue Elephant in Bangkok class begins with registration followed by a
visit to the market with the chef instructor which is a very hands-on
experience, as he walks you around the market, explaining various ingredients; you
get to shop in the local markets for seasonal ingredients, before you head back
to the cooking school. For each dish, the chef explains and demonstrates,
then you go to the kitchen on your individual work station, gather ingredients,
and prepare the dish you have just learnt and of course you will enjoy a sampling
of the dishes for yourself. Workshops at Tam’s in Nice, France pay homage to
tried-and-true local dishes and include a cooking class, lunch with wine and a
field experience. Go on a flower and vegetable market tour with Chef Tam, and
then get into the fancy kitchen by the Sea, where you can learn the secrets of
Salad Nicoise and more. At her school, Chef Tam teaches you the secrets of
capturing Nice’s essence and helps you master your Nicoise dishes of your
choice. She also peppers her instructions with humorous and gossipy tidbits.
