Your guide provides information about the types of ingredients used in a typical Vietnamese menu, including regional produce, spices, meat and fish.
After making your purchase, head to the home of a local host to begin your home cooking class. Your knowledgeable instructor teaches your small group to create an authentic lunch or dinner (see Sample Menu below) in this comfortable home kitchen.
Whip up delectable dishes like catfish steak marinated in a coconut caramel sauce and simmered in a clay pot. You’ll discover how to slice bite-sized pieces of lotus root for a salad. Then mince garlic, chop chilies and add just the right amount of fish sauce for your dipping sauce. Yum!
After you’ve enjoyed a delightful meal, your guide will drop you off at your hotel.
