Hue was feudal Vietnam’s splendid capital during the Nguyen Dynasty. To satisfy the demands of the royal families and state banquets, Vietnam's finest chefs were chosen nationwide and transferred to Hue, where they created hundreds of sophisticated royal recipes. During this time, commoners were forbidden to eat dishes reserved for the royalty. A cooking practice session in Hue is organised at Tinh Gia Vien, a garden oasis with 185 species of plant and flower, 400 bonsai trees and a fabulous misting waterfall. The hostess, Madame Ha belonging to a royal family, will present the uniqueness of traditional Hue food, especially the art of Hue food carving and plate garnishes. The session covers presentation of 3 royal recipes, a market tour, a lunch of the royal dishes and a cooking diploma. The maximum group size is 15.
