I first wrote about the food of Vietnam almost exactly four years ago http://annsfooddiary.blogspot.com/2014/07/ when a visit to a South London cafe brought back happy memories of holidays and new food experiences
Last week I returned to the modern and welcoming atmosphere of the kitchen at https://kentcookeryschool.co.uk where chefs James and on this occasion particularly Bella shared their knowledge and skills with seven of us. The three hour evening session includes hands on cooking culminating in a delicious feast with plenty to take home for later
Vietnamese platter for one |
- Pork and Lemongrass Patties
- Mung Bean Fritters
- Goi Cuan (Fresh Spring Rolls)
Pork Patties |
Nuoc Cham (dipping sauce) |
Just look at the vibrancy of the vegetable and herb filling for the Goi Can to which we added shredded pork and juicy just cooked prawns.
Mint, coriander, spring onions, cucumber and pepper |
It was a fun evening, we all learnt new techniques and a gained a renewed enthusiasm for adding spice to the weekly menu.
