Enjoyable morning cooking class and market visit
My sister and I spent the morning with Chef Tram visiting the market and cooking some delicious Vietnamese food. We were a total of three students so essentially it was like having a private cooking class. The market visit was lively, colorful and informative. We learned about different Vietnamese herbs, vegetables and noodles and bought some ingredients to use in our recipes. We got to experience how local Vietnamese shop for their food and learn about the going ons of the market. The actual cooking instruction was good. Chef Tram explained the process, demonstrated it and then we replicated it. We made 3 dishes and got to eat each after making it. It would've been nice if the chef stayed and talked while we ate just so we could learn more about Vietnamese life and culture, but this isn't a big deal. We had nice conversation with her while prepping the meal. At the end we received written copies of the recipes to recreate these dishes at home. The chef offered possible substitutes for certain ingredients we may not be able to find. In addition, throughout the cooking session, she gave us tips about what to look for when buying ingredients - - all very helpful. Thank you, Chef Tram and Mom Cooking.
