Thus, we believe this cooking class can be eye opening on Thailand Gastronomical Culture. Thai desserts subdivide into a lot of categories, and you have a broad choice to pick from.
Thai dishes made of sticky rice are the most emblematic one. In fact, Sticky Rice with Mango can be considered the national dessert of Thailand. Sticky Rice Desserts are generally easy enough to do.
They consist of only a few ingredients: rice, coconut milk, sugar, sweetened condensed milk and some specific other ingredients depending on the dish. It’s an easy introduction to Thai Dessert and Cooking. Those desserts can present an interesting cooking method, like cooking the sticky rice in a bamboo or slowly cooking it in a palm leaf.
Sweet soup are a popular treat in Thailand. They consist of a “broth” made of water, sugar and other flavoring ingredients with sweet stuffed dumpling or sweet balls floating in the middle.
Another approach is sweet noodles of pieces of fruit floating in sweet coconut milk. Soups based Dessert are easy enough to make but can lead to interesting discoveries. You may use unique ingredients like water chestnut. The making of the floating dumplings is also an interesting technical skill.
Dough-based desserts are also a big part of Thai Culture. You can often compare them to traditional western dishes. The Thai Roti is a south-east equivalent of a pancake. Gluay Hom is basically Muffin made with bananas. Tong Muan is like crispy crepes… So, you might be very well interested to discover how South-East asia add its unique twist to Pastries.
Like most Thai desserts, cakes are really sweets. Our chef will try to focus on the flavors of the dishes rather than on the richness and the high sugar level.
A lot of Thai Desserts are Jelly, made by mixing up Egg Yolk and Sugar which are then cooked in boiling sugar syrup. Those dishes are really popular in Thailand, but you might have a hard time appreciating them as they are particularly sweet. Often, this simple base of Egg Yolk and Sugar is combined with other ingredients like Tea, Coffee, Coconut… to change the taste. To change the texture, Thai people add flour and starch. That way, a ton of new Jelly Dishes have been created. Making the right adjustment to attain your specific dish can be somewhat tricky, but thanks to the help of our professional chefs, you will learn quicker and enjoy the process.
Custards are also present a lot in Thai dessert. They are generally made of coconut and/or sugar and are added on top of fruit, jelly, and cake to enhance the flavor.

Cooking and Baking Croissant
The Croissant is a delicious viennoiserie which is the result of a mix between French and Austrian influence, dating back to the XVIIIth Century. A croissant is made by folding a dough several time over a roll-in fat (generally butter). After this lamination, the dough is put into shape and baked. The result is a delightful pastry with thin and crunchy layers on the outside and an amazing soft and warm hearth in the middle.
Making a good Croissant is no-easy task. Several factors are making the whole recipe an interesting challenge. The temperature of the baking place will greatly influence the speed at which the butter melts. It will also influence the fermentation process that creates the unique crunchy texture.
