Southeast Asian Seafood
A hands-on cooking class culminating in dinner served with wine and beer.
The coastlines of Southeast Asian countries boast beautiful beaches and views, but they also provide people with a variety of seafood for their kitchen tables. Inspired by the flavors in Linda's favorite part of the world, this menu is a seafood walkabout (swimabout?) across borders to teach you how to cook seafood every which way to Sunday.
