with Kasma Loha-unchit
Kasma 
has been teaching Westerners to cook delectable Thai dishes since 1986. Her focus is on teaching the "Spirit" of Thai cooking so that students can cook authentic tasting Thai food whether or not they have a recipe to follow. Rather than learning to blindly follow recipes, you learn to cook with all your senses. All of the major ingredients in Thai cooking are introduced along with the concept of balancing the 5-flavor groups to get exactly the taste you desire.
