Cooking Class

Tonight was the first night of Vietnamese Cooking class. Van and I took this class a couple of years ago, but it was so much fun and such a good deal that we decided to take it again. The teacher gives us all the recipes for the day, then everyone splits up and cooks 4 dishes in small groups, and then we all have a big meal at the end of the class. Van's job was to chop the herbs for the Bun Bo Xao (Stir-Fried Steak on Rice Noodles), and I made Banh Dua (Coconut Balls).
Van chopping:
Making the Banh Dua:
The finished product:
It is a pretty good deal, about $10/person/night. You get recipes, instruction on how to make it, and a homemade meal with out dirtying your kitchen. I love cooking class. :)

Rare Sighting

Shhh….be very quiet. We don’t want to scare her away. This may be the first time it’s been captured on film. My wife is in the kitchen.......COOKING!










Unfortunately for me, she’s not making us dinner. It’s her week to bring the dessert to the 4th Floor Dessert Club. She’s making the chocolate cupcakes from this month’s issue of Food & Wine.
