Highway 4: Market Trip and Cooking Class

For anyone who wants to learn about Vietnamese food, its ingredients and how to combine them into traditional dishes, Highway 4 are running cooking classes. They'll take you to a local market where you can get your fingers and noses into the fresh produce, and then back to the restaurant by cyclo to cook up some edibles under the wise eyes of their chefs.


Dieu's Cuisine

My friend Dieu is expanding her delivery service and opening a restaurant on the shores of West Lake, and I've been taking photos of fresh produce to decorate the walls. Normally when I go to the market I concentrate on shooting the people, or the people with their produce, not often do I focus on the produce itself. But looking over my pictures of various fruits, vegetables and spices taking centre stage I think this may change. Here are three of my favourites; chilli pepper, red cabbage and tamarind.






Back To The Market

Going through my pictures I found a few from last years market assignment which I'd put aside, unsure if I liked them or not. Now I think I do.
