When I was asked by Jamie Oliver to show him how to cook some Vietnamese dishes such as Pho, Summer Rolls, Springs Rolls etc, it gave me the idea to give Vietnamese cooking classes.
We talk about the essential ingredients, the elements of hot and cold and we go through the typical breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Vietnamese food is about the balance of flavours, of sweet, salty and sour – there is no measuring device that can ever match your own taste buds. We will make sauces together as well and I will introduce you to how we do it and share any knowledge I may have about all the health benefits of certain herbs and vegetables.
This often changes but we would make something like this and enjoy it all throughout the day:
Beef Pho -
Banh Cuon With Pork Belly in Five Spice
Bo La Lot
Summer Rolls
Roasted Seabass With Spring Onions & Soy Sauce
Stir Fried Morning Glory
Hot & Sour Tomatoes and Pineapple Soup
Pan Fried Brill With Mango
Braised Pork Belly With Coconut & Cider
Banana Pudding
1- 6pm
London Fields
We also go to the Vietnamese supermarkets where I can introduce you to my favourite brands and essentials for your cupboard.
