| Interests | Vietnamese food as I know it - I would like to share with you my Knowledge on Vietnamese food, which I have been gathering throughout my life. I went to the market with my mother often and got shown how to select the best ingredients. I know how to select a fat chicken, which had not laid too many eggs! I started my apprenticeship when I was 9 in pre 1950s Hanoi, in a kitchen run by 7 boys who cooked like pros and were wizards at the markets. The rest of my culinary training is from observations and cooking from old Vietnamese cookery books from my mother when I came to Sydney in early 60s. |
