Grace is usually far more comfortable in her trading room than in the kitchen, but today she decided to venture out and learn Thai cooking, and of course, I went along as I quite like cooking myself Learning how to cook local food of the country you are visiting is a real immersion of local culture!

In total we prepared 6 dishes. A soup, spring rolls, red curry duck, vegetable and chicken stir-fry, pandan leaf chicken, and a sticky rice dessert. The red curry was very interesting since we actually made the curry paste from spices!

Here’s Grace, just as she’s scooping out her red curry.

Even after this course, I don’t expect Grace to be doing much cooking anytime soon! We barely have enough time to do all we’re doing while traveling the world, and in most places we stay there isn’t a kitchen we could cook in even if we wanted to.
