Get your taste buds ready for some authentic Vietnamese cuisine, prepared right in your own home! This online cooking class will virtually transport you to a rural village in northern Vietnam, where you'll be welcomed into a local family’s home. Together with your hosts, you will prepare traditional Vietnamese dishes like chicken or tofu with lemongrass and stir-fried seasonal vegetables, all using ingredients you can find close to home.
You'll start your online experience with a round of introductions. Then, it’s time to cook! Your hosts will teach you how to cook a seasonal salad, chicken or tofu stir-fried with lemongrass and chili, and seasonal stir-fried vegetables, using ingredients that are sourced directly from the family’s garden. Don’t worry, you should be able to find them close to home. If not, your hosts can suggest substitutes. Once you're finished cooking, you’ll then get to enjoy what you made.
