Tam learned to cook mostly on her own, but also picked up a few key cooking skills from her mother at a very young age. She later studied baking at Sofitel and owned a bakery, giving her professional experience in the kitchen. Tam feels truly relaxed in the kitchen and finds herself most happy when she is cooking. She also enjoys gardening and grows herbs and plants in her garden space. Tam currently runs her own online catering business and loves that she gets to cook every day and is able to put a smile on people's faces when they try her food! Tam lives in a small, modern apartment, which is a part of the Russian Market building. She lives with three well behaved, friendly and lovely dogs. Tam has no dining table but you will sit at a high table in her kitchen and share an authentic Vietnamese meal together. Some of traditional Vietnamese dishes that you might try are tofu sticks or spring rolls, pumpkin soup, fish stew with rice and beans, beef noodles and Greek yogurt with magic green jelly. If you book a cooking experience, join Tam in her kitchen to learn how to make two dishes from scratch in a hands-on cooking class. Tam will first introduce you to a variety of local and seasonal ingredients used in Vietnamese cuisine and then show you have to create simple, healthy and delightful dishes with these traditional ingredients. Tam also offers an optional market tour add-on.
