where to learn polish/asian/ethnic cooking

happy_gardener

I am a good cook..as far as my family is concerned byt i would love to learn more abour polich/indian...actually anything other than the western food we are all used to here in Northern Ireland.
If i could wave my magic wand...I could teach someone how to bake a cake/make proper pancakes/scones etc and in exchange I would love to lear how to make (excuse next phrase)...something foreign...as I love all spicy food and would love to try something different.
I love the asian supermarket in the Ormeau Road and I would dearly love to grab a shopper there take them home and get them to teach me something interesting.

Call me mad...MAD....but is there anyone else that would like to do this, or is there a person in the polish community I can contact to find out through them how to learn more about traditional food?

Any idea welcome....genuine replys:j only please

There are some courses at the Belfast Metropolitan college which I have thought about attending a few times. Not sure if they are any good though. One is geared towards cooking with spices.

There's bound to be some sort of Polish Association in NI - try googling and see what comes up. But I warn you...most Poles probably wouldn't be interested in eating UK food

They might be doing something about cooking during that.

I know the Bo Tree on university road in belfast sometimes hold half day thai cooking classes if you want to give them a call or check their website. Hope that helps!
