A Word In Your Mouth

As someone who can be something of a glutton, one of the many great things about working for a magazine is all the food I get to eat. Here is a selection of some of the dishes that recently met their doom twixt my jaws in the interests of illustration. Allow me to list the fallen, the lost (in no particular order): oysters, clams, high-class vegetarian offerings, blood, kimchi, spicy chicken, spring rolls, and (not) the nest of a bird. Rest In Peace O Toothsome Fuels.

Some of the Rest

It was an interesting, hectic end to the year, but now is not the time to write about it. Now is the time to eat cheese with the family back in England, drink of ye wine, see friends, and rest. Here are some outtakes from the last few weeks:

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.

Le Petit Bruxelles

Yesterday lunchtime I went to meet Pierre and Pascal at their Belgian eatery, Le Petit Bruxelles, to shoot it and some of their dishes for an upcoming magazine article. They looked after me well and fed me a tasty plate of scallops followed by a piece of pork bigger than a human head. Bon appetit!

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.

A Tale Of Two Men / Four Portraits

Not a tale exactly, or at all. More like pictures. First up is Mr Takeji Yoshikawa, Director of the Japan Foundation in Hanoi, owner of 'the hottest office in the world', and speaker of Vietnamese and Chinese. He kindly allowed me to have a look around the foundation's library and agreed to tell me a Japanese joke while I was photographing him. Arigato!
