Hue cooking class

Hue cooking class: Hue people have had traditional customs since the old days: Mother brings up children, grandmother brings up grandchildren, sister brings up younger ones. Hue girls with good family breeding are well educated with the four attributes of an ideal woman (homemaking skills, appearance, speech, behaviour). The Homemaking skills is the first standard so although living in a rich family with a lot of servants, the girls have to learn how to go to the market and how to cook everyday.

The cuisine of Hue is known through the time by the traditional cooking families, the good cooks and famous trading villages with the local special foods like: Bun Bo Hue (Hue Beef noodle), Banh Khoai (Hue Fried Pancakes), Va Tron (Fig Salad), Nem ran (fried spring roll)… Each dish is a treasure of cuisine as lofty as the soul of Hue people.
