Green Chicken Curry with Thai Eggplant

Most of you probably know that I’m currently enrolled in the Culinary Arts Program at a local university, which I have completely and totally loved!

Asian-Week1

This block I’m in the Professional Kitchen with Chef Todd, he’s been really great and I’m learing so much.  For our class we run a restaurant called Forte and have seatings every thursday and friday nights.  Each week is a different International Cuisine which is super cool to learn the rich culture and history that makes up each of the areas we study.

Our first week was Southeast Asian and the recipe I’m sharing today is the one that I helped prepare and cook.  The photo below is some of the delicious dishes that were on the menu and a photo of me and my adorable daughter, Kate.  She and a friend came in and ate with us which was really fun!
