THAI BARBECUE MASTERCLASS

Fire is an essential ingredient in Thai cooking. Grilled meats, smoked fish, chillies dried over the hearth, the scorch of the wok hei and the hot coals of the tao… Thai food wouldn’t be Thai food without barbecue.

Career chef Michael Harrison (formerly of Smoking Goat, Kiln, Brat and currently of The Sea, The Sea) will guide you through the concepts and applications of Thai barbecue cooking and teach you how to prepare a full, traditional Thai meal, cooked mostly with fire.

Ingredients are prepared as a group (some demo, some audience participation) then different items are cooked on different barbecues. There will be opportunities to get involved with the food preparation and to manage a barbecue (if you want to) but we do not rigidly allocate people to specific barbecues for this class. Everyone will be seated communally to eat.

We use Kamado Joe Classic Joe II and Joe Junior barbecues and tao burners for this class.
