Life is full of things to experience and try. I have always loved cooking and I find it has always enriched my experiences in new places. I owe my cooking skills to the time I spent at the Old Hanoi Restaurant where I taught travelers to cook traditional Vietnamese food. I also thanks to all the people I have shared a kitchen with a long the way and swapped cooking tips. The process of shopping, preparing ingredients and cooking Vietnamese food is a great way to understand its history and culture. Whether you are a complete novice or a professional chef, this cooking section promises to share some of Vietnamese secrets and along the way you will have.
