In the Kitchen
"Three or four dishes prepared together, hands-on, at the family's pace."
Ninety minutes in a Vietnamese family kitchen — cooking, drinking, talking — at the pace of the home, not a class.
The kitchen is small. The energy is generous.
You'll cook three or four dishes alongside your host — chopping, stirring, tasting as you go.
Drinks are poured early. Stories begin. The dog wanders in. The grandmother corrects your knife grip.
It's not a class. It's an evening that happens to involve cooking.
