Within the comfortable confines of the Nexus clubhouse, Lek will be instructing the class on the finer points of Thai cooking. Having grown up in a family of 3 sisters ( all involved in the restaurant business at one time or another) and having a Mother who is a wonderful cook herself, Lek grew up learning how to prepare a full variety of fresh, tasty dishes. Here in the U.S. she has never ventured too far from sharing her skills, whether it be working within the restaurant industry (Beau Thai's of NW Portland) or teaching classes. Lek goes beyond what you will ever find in just reading a receipe. She always includes time-saving (and taste-bud saving) tips that will help you prepare your own just-like-at-the-restaurant meals at home at a fraction of the cost of going out. Please be sure to RSVP us (by email to rsvp@sirishaglobalbazaar.com or by phone at 503-419-4148) at least 3 days prior to class to let us know that you are coming. (Please note that food costs are extra and will be between $8 - $15 per person) We require a 50% non-refundable deposit at least 2 days prior to the scheduled class. In the event of cancellation (attendee), a Sirisha Global Bazaar in-store credit will be issued in the form of an in-house gift certificate, good for any of our product and/or service offerings.
