Gathering around a table for a meal at home is a traditional way to eat together. In this class you will make three dishes for a family meal that also celebrates what beautiful ingredients we are able to source in the Bay. Together, we will create dishes that sing on multiple notes of flavor: savory, sweet, spicy and plenty of umami. While each dish has its own identity, together they become a medley of a meal.The great part about these recipes is that you can make any single dish on its own (with rice) and have a tasty meal in itself!  Whether this menu becomes something to gather around or something nice for yourself, you will walk away with a greater appreciation for Vietnamese dishes rooted in the home.
