Laotian Cooking Class

A few weeks ago I took a wonderful class at the Oakland Asian Cultural Center on Laotian cooking. Led by instructor Sohkham Santhavilay, we chopped, ground and shredded our way to a Laotian feast featuring Chicken and Tofu Larb, Green Papaya Salad and Sticky Rice.

You can see a slide show of the cooking class here.

I'll write more on the food of Laos and these recipes soon. The class is one of a series of four (the first was Korean which I missed). Tomorrow is South Asian Samosas and in two weeks is Chinese Dumplings. Watch for more on the classes!

  1. Neat! What a good opportunity. Were there a lot of people in the class?

  2. Class was limited to 15 and it was very hands on. There was a Korean class(which I missed), but watch for photos and post on Indian and the upcoming Chinese dumpling.
