Vietnamese Cuisine

Saturday 9th July 2022

9.45am – 4.00pm

Vietnamese food is known as amongst the healthiest in the world. It is all about balance and balances five taste senses; sweet, salty. spicy, sour and bitter. Some of the flavours used in the food is common to other Asian food for example lemongrass, ginger, chilli, lime, mint, coriander, basil and cinnamon but it is very light and fragrant. The food is generally colourful and uses plenty of fresh vegetables and herbs.
