The Class

This fun, interactive 3 hour Vietnamese cookery class centres around oven-based dishes that are relatively easy to prepare while being mouth-wateringly flavoursome. You’ll also discover that, once you know how to make these dishes, you’ll easily be able to make several other delectable dishes and dazzle your family and friends with your new Vietnamese cooking skills and knowledge.

For meat eaters, you’ll master the dinner party favourite Salmon Summer Rolls (Cá Hồi Nướng Cuốn), street food crowd-pleaser Grilled Lemongrass Pork Belly With Rice (Thịt Nướng) and a simple but packed with flavour Roasted Aubergine and Sautéed Spring Onions With Rice dish (Cà Tím Nướng Mỡ Hành). You’ll also learn how to make the often used crunchy, zingy garnish, pickled carrot and daikon (Đồ Chua), and two essential Vietnamese condiments (Nước Chấm and Ớt Bằm) that are staples in any Vietnamese kitchen.

For pescatarians, vegetarians or vegans, we can adapt this class to cater for you. The equally delicious non-meat menus and ingredients are below. I use large white mushrooms as the main meat and fish substitute but you’ll discover that you can as easily make the dishes with a variety of other options, like tofu.

With your help, I’ll show you how to make everything 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 and adapt recipes to taste. You’ll also find out where to buy Vietnamese foods and what brands my family and I tend to go for.

It’ll be far too much food to eat in one go so, roughly 1 hour 30 minutes into the class, we’ll sit together and eat the Roasted Aubergine and Sautéed Spring Onions With Rice (Cà Tím Nướng Mỡ Hành). Shortly after, we’ll finish preparing and eat the Grilled Lemongrass Pork Belly With Rice (Thịt Nướng) / Roasted Lemongrass Mushroom With Rice. Then comes the final preparation for the Salmon Summer Rolls (Cá Hồi Nướng Cuốn) / Mushroom Summer Rolls, which we’ll sit, roll together and eat roughly 2 hours 30 minutes into the class.

You’ll have summary recipes to follow during the class to help you track all the steps. After the class, I’ll email you the full recipes, including ingredients and methods, so you can replicate the dishes at home and impress your family and friends!
