Atelier "After Cook" : Vietnam w/ Jolene (ENG)
Fri Dec 04, 2026 from 07:00 PM to 10:00 PM
Timezone : Europe/Brussels
Oxalis - Ecole de cuisine végétale ASBL, Chaussée de Wavre, Auderghem, Belgique
Vietnamese cuisine is delicate and precise — a cuisine of freshness, of herbs piled in towers, of broths that take hours to become what they need to be and are worth every minute of the wait. It is food that respects the ingredient above all else, coaxing flavour through restraint rather than force. In this evening class we build Vietnam from the ground up: a broth that warms the soul, and fresh rolls that put the beauty of Vietnamese cooking right in your hands.
On the menu:
- Pho – Made from scratch — star anise, charred ginger, cinnamon, and clove simmered into a clear, deeply aromatic broth poured over rice noodles and served with a table full of fresh herbs, bean sprouts, lime, and chilli.
- Fresh Summer Rolls – Rice paper wrapped around a garden of textures — vermicelli, crisp vegetables, mint, and coriander — served with a rich dipping sauce. Tactile, fresh, and deeply satisfying to make with your own hands.
An elegant, herb-filled evening for curious cooks and devotees of the clean, complex beauty of Vietnamese food.
This cooking class will be given in English by Jolene.

She has cooked on permaculture farms, explored vibrant markets, and shared meals with wonderful souls around the world.
