Join in with chef Jay to explore the refined, subtle, and highly flavorful cuisine of Vietnam. Though Vietnamese cuisine's ancient roots are fully Chinese, the lavish use of fine fish sauce and raw aromatic herbs, the spare use of fat and the astonishing range of vegetarian and nonvegetarian food made with fresh produce, beef, pork, chicken, and seafood sets this light and refreshing cuisine apart from any other in Asia.

Through lecture, demonstrations, and hands-on work, chef Jay will guide you through the execution of three signature Vietnamese dishes. 

1. Pho Bo - Noodle and Beef Soup. This has become the signature noodle dish of all Vietnam. You will learn how to make the all important spiced beef broth that makes this dish.
2. Banh Xeo - Sizzling Rice Crepes. These eggless, rice flour crepes originate from the strong French influence found in Vietnamese cuisine. These crepes are served with a platter of fresh vegetables and herb garnishes. Vietnamese diners tear or cut them with scissors, fold a piece into a lettuce leaf with cucumber and herbs, and dip into Nuoc Cham sauce before eating.
3. Nuoc Cham - This sauce is the heart and soul of Vietnamese cuisine. There are numerous varieties but all contain the basics: fish sauce, lime juice, palm sugar, and chiles with some water. 

Chef Greg will guide you through grilling foods and wine pairings for any occasion, as well as providing tips for smoking, marinating meats, BBQ sides & sauces with grape varietals and the principles behind pairing them. Learn why certain combinations work and some don’t, how to avoid common mistakes, and how to develop successful grilled foods and wine pairings on your own. This is a hands-on class, where you will gain a newfound confidence in your grilled couplings with local wines – just in time for Walla Walla's fall release weekend! For ages 21+.
