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.
On this one day workshop at Edinburgh New Town Cookery School we will be showing you how to make various different Vietnamese dishes for you to sample for lunch but also to take home at the end of the day. The day starts at 9.45am with a demonstration and tasting session then everyone moves to the kitchen to make lunch. We will continue cooking in the afternoon and will prepare more dishes for you to take home and enjoy!

Larousse Gastronomique defines a sauce as "a hot or cold liquid either served with, or used in the cooking of, a dish."It certainly helps to add flavour and enhances the dish. On this one day workshop at The Edinburgh New Town Cookery School we will teach how to make a variety of sauces. We will cover stocks, and how to thicken and enrich sauces whether by reduction, using a roux, adding butter or cream. We will also cover emulsion sauces and some sweet sauces.
