Asian Appetizer Class

Recently I had the pleasure of teaching Maggie, Nicole and Anne the Asian Appetizer class. Last year they invited me into one of their homes to teach them the Spring Fling menu. We all had so much fun.

In this class I taught them how to make Chicken Satay with a Peanut Dipping Sauce; plus Sushi, which you can see in the photo below.

Here they are fanning the sushi rice in preparation to make various types of Sushi Rolls.














In this photo Anne is preparing one of many Potstickers.





















These are the potstickers that Maggie, Nicole and Anne made with a Soy Dipping Sauce.



In addition the girls also made Vietnamese Summer Rolls with two different sauces.

Everyone had a great time and had a few leftovers to bring home to their families.

I did take videos but since it was my first time filming I kept turning the camera sideways and of course that would have made you dizzy had I posted them. I'll know better for next time.

Vietnamese Vegetarian Summer Rolls

It seems that when spring arrives everyone starts eating a bit healthier. Maybe it's in anticipation of summer coming and knowing you'll be putting on a bathing suit. Either way, healthy eating shouldn't just be reserved for the warm months of the year, but year-round. A refreshing recipe that you can make and take to work, pack in your childs lunchbox or have as a snack or appetizer is a Vietnamese Summer Roll. It's even a great way to eat a salad on the run! Whether you add seafood, chicken, beef or just prepare it with vegetables and herbs it makes for a delicious and light treat.

This month I will share from my Asian Appetizer Class how to make this healthy roll, in a video. If you're looking for a fun culinary class check this out. For more information please contact me: vkb2@hotmail.com
