09.30: Meet the chef in
the restaurant, the cooking program will be discussed with the
group.
Take a little walk to Hang Be market which is a lovely market in the
heart of the old town. You will be fascinated with every step by the
color, noise and the smells of the foods.
Stroll around to visit distinct food sections with their variety of
herbs, vegetables, meat and sea food which brings you very close to
the simple life. It is very interesting to see and to learn how a
local woman chooses and buys the best quality of the fresh food from
numerous food stalls in the market.
With a rattan hand basket, your job is to buy some herbs and spices
for the cooking class (Herbs and spices are a very important part of
authentic Vietnamese food)
10.15: Back to
restaurant for a little rest, you will enjoy Hanoi filtered coffee
or jasmine tea (coffee and tea are complimentary).
Raw food bought from the
market will be washed and prepared quickly in the kitchen. Cooking
methods and utensils will be placed properly on each table. |
