*** THIS IS A TRIAL CLASS. IF WE HAVE NOT MADE DIRECT ARRANGEMENTS WITH YOU TO BOOK INTO THIS CLASS, PLEASE DON’T! THANKS! ***

Join me, Xuan, in my Walthamstow kitchen for a relaxed and enjoyable experience. It’ll be a fun and social way to explore the art and umami deliciousness of Vietnamese food. Whether you’re new to Vietnamese cuisine or looking to refine your skills, this class offers a taste of Vietnamese cooking traditions with an easy going, practical approach.

Come join the family!

The Class

You’ll master Vietnam’s iconic Chicken Pho, a refreshing Vietnamese Pickled Cabbage Salad (Gỏi Bắp Cải) served with Prawn Crackers, and Pho Broth-Poached Chicken with Steamed Rice and a Ginger Chilli Soy Sauce. We’ll also make two essential Vietnamese condiments that you can use for a whole variety of dishes.

With your help, I’ll show you how to make each of the dishes and condiments from scratch. I’ll also share practical Vietnamese cooking tips and information so you can learn more about the dishes and Vietnamese culture, save time preparing dishes, adapt recipes to taste and make spin-off dishes.

It’ll be way too much food to eat in one go, so we’ll aim to sit and eat the Vietnamese Pickled Cabbage Salad and Prawn Crackers and the Pho Broth-Poached Chicken with Steamed Rice and a Ginger Chilli Soy Sauce roughly 2 hours into the class. We’ll then finish up the Pho together and sit and eat that an hour or so later.
