Vietnamese Cooking Classes

Ha Noi Vietnam and the Northern Highlands – featuring dishes that are truly Vietnamese, but highlight the Chinese culinary influence in Hanoi and the Northern Highlands

• Food from the coast - dishes built around fresh fish and the creative use of aromatics and spices, not to mention, for the Vietnamese, the comforting aroma of nuoc mam, fish sauce.

• Vietnamese Street Food - take home some of the hustle and bustle of Ha Noi's unique street life by learning how to make some of the delicious food you have enjoyed on the streets of Vietnam.

Hanoi Market

• Vegan Tofu cookery

Vietnam produces some of the best tofu in the world, so make the most of it. In this class we will make
some tofu dishes rarely seen outside the pagodas.

• Spring Rolls

Not just prawn and pork. The humble spring roll reflects the changes in Vietnamese cuisine as you travel
the length of Viet Nam. In this class you will prepare the hearty seafood and mayonnaise from the north
to the fragrant rolls of the south.

• BBQ and salads

On the hot and humid summer days in Viet Nam there is always the faint smell of smoke in the air coming
from the countless charcoal braziers on which family and restaurant meals are prepared.
I would like to present to you some Vietnamese dishes that perfectly suits a casual dining style
