Cooking class experience — learning Thai Spring Rolls properly

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Thai Spring Rolls correctly. The instructor explained why fish sauce is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it. The deeply aromatic result when you make it yourself is different.

fresh herbs and aromatics are added at the last moment to preserve fragrance. We learned how a traditional home kitchen shapes the way this dish is eaten. The class ended with the meal and a glass of nam manao lime soda. I've made it three times since and each time it improves. Highly recommend the cooking class approach.
