Lilian has combined some signatures dishes from Vietnam and Thailand on this course. The ingredients and flavours of these two neighbouring countries are so similar, the freshness from herbs like mint leaves, coriander, lemongrass and basil; the citrus of lime, the heat of chilli, the aroma of garlic and ginger; and the fifth element of taste, the umami flavour from fish sauce.
Thai food is generally richer and spicier with more use of coconut milk and bird’s eye chilli. Vietnamese food tends to be lighter and less spicy, with some French influence. You will learn how to balance the flavour combinations of Sweet, Sour, Salty, Spicy, Bitter and the ultimate Umami; and experience the exotic smells and taste of herbs and spices of the Orient, transporting you to the streets of Thailand and Vietnam!
Lilian’s courses are fun, informative and interactive; with detailed easy to follow recipes to replicate at home using ingredients that are readily available.
