Event
Vietnamese Transformations of Rice: An evening of hands-on cooking to learn how Vietnamese cooks manipulate the grain into a multitude of forms
Rice is the foundation of the Vietnamese diet and culture. While a bowl of plain boiled rice is the base of many meals, the versatile grain is also ground into flour, steamed into cakes, and fermented into wine and vinegar. From crisp, savory crackers to sweet, silken custards, rice takes on endless textures and flavors.
Join Vietnamese food experts and cooking teachers Andrea Nguyen and Thy Tran for an engaging evening of hands-on learning. Weâll explore the history, essential ingredients, and cooking methods of Vietnamese cuisine. Over snacks and beverages, weâll start with a lively discussion of Oryza sativa in the Vietnamese culinary tradition. Then, Andrea and Thy will guide you in preparing a treasure trove of rice dishes. Irresistible sweets featuring rice will complete the menu.
At the end of this event, Andrea will be signing copies of her cookbook, Into the Vietnamese Kitchen (Ten Speed Press). Proceeds from the sale will help raise funds for the Aqua Terra Slow Food Convivium.
