Chef Gastronomique

To shock you all I decided to do a Laos Cooking Class at The Three Elephant Cooking School in Luang Prabang. Since I no longer have Luke to relay apon to whisk up a cullinary feast at the drop of a hat. I thought it was about time I extended my one pot cooking technique to a one wok cooking bananza!
Ruth, a very loud, very dominant, and very country, Aussie woman runs cooking classes, with laos teachers, in conjunction with her restaurant.
Leng and Neng took up the challenge to show three very egar women how to whisk up a Luang Prabang feast.
Firstly we began the day with introductions..(apparently and according to Ruth... my name is Stacey..(Yuk)) and a trip to the local market. Here myself, and New Yorker (and very bad cook) and an American-Thai Girl,asked Leng a million questions. Poor man was exhusted before we even set foot in the kitchen. Running up and down isles, fondling fruit and Vege, yelling "What's this! what's this!" The man looked like he needed a scotch.
Back in the safety of the cooking school and after a much needed Tea, we were ready to Strart. Neng and Leng (Both last names Lee) set about, taking it in turns, to cook a specialty dish. After demonstrating to us their cullinary skills we had to reproduce the same. Apparently we were meant to group together and cook together being an intimate group of three. Defiantly, we grabbed required ingredients and set about cooking individually.( Gladly, since previously mentioned was hopeless behind a wok) Poor Leng and Neng didn't have it in them to argue with 3 strong willed Western woman.
I set about the tasks at a feverish pace due to the fact I hadn't cooked in 6 months. Before I knew it I had actually achieved the desired result and it tasted Good. Away we went for the rest of the morning and sudenly we found ourselves at lunch...We ate the bennifits of our labour. D.e.licious!
The afternoon pretty much went the same as the morning. With us stuffing our face after each demonstration and then whisking off to do the same. The day ended with a feast of Luang Prabang dishes, that we each cooked, to various standards and had a great laugh along the way.
Now I know you are all awaiting my return to be dazzled by my amazing and spectacular wok skills.
