Cooking Lessons before taking the night train back to Hanoi

Written by James McDonald

Today I had a cooking lesson and I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. Maybe when I get home I will be able to entertain with an Vietnamese dinner night.

The first dish we made was a Green Papaya Salad

I found cutting everything nice and small to be challenge. My wifes version is shown below. I loved making a tomato skin rose.

The next thing was Chrispy Pork Spring rolls…

Followed by Chilli Chicken Lemon Grass

Finally a Vietnamese Dessert of Sweet Potato Soup

While we waited for the lesson to begin we pottered around the grounds…

The mist keeps everything moist and the plants growing.

    I second that, the food looks absolutely delicious. I am berry impressed by the cooking skills you both posses, the rose was such a sweet touch. Vietnam looks so blissful, relaxing on the swing with the mist caring for the plants. View like that leaves on speechless.
