It’s been a while.

The last time my students and I had a cooking lesson was at the end of winter this year.

Today’s theme was lemongrass. The meal included a Thai curry soup, a Thai salad, and lemongrass bars for dessert.

Lemongrass is often overlooked as a cooking ingredient. Many people have it growing in their gardens as it fills in spaces nicely and has a pleasant scent when touched. But lemongrass has a lemony quality different than citrus fruits, such as lemons or sudachis.

The students did a great job preparing all foods and it was wonderful to get together with them.

Thanks for today. I look forward to our next lesson together.
