I'm a print maker, a mum, a maker... and I love to cook!
After many years of cooking for friends and families, Noya's Kitchen is open for business at my home in Bath. Please explore my delicious range of Vietnamese classes. Classes are very relaxed, informal, hands on and oh my goodness... there's lots of tasting too!
My roots in Vietnamese food run deep...
I started cooking from a very early age. As eldest daughter I had to. My first experience was shopping for food for my 4 siblings and making us all rice in a Hong Kong refugee camp, whilst my parents went out to work. We'd recently left Vietnam in a boat and I was 6 years old.
I was always interested in food, helping mum and dad cook. Watching them, washing rice... that was the first thing I learnt to make... perfect rice... and the obligatory spicy dipping sauce!
Growing up in the UK, Vietnamese food was our link to the culture we left behind. I've learned to love sharing my favourite dishes with my many many friends who keep coming back for more!
Vietnamese food is all about balance. It's simple but so fresh, as we use a lot of different varieties of fresh herbs. They are not just for garnish but play a major part in Vietnamese food. Dishes are aromatic with layers of flavour... the amount of spice controlled to individual taste with use of chilli & dipping fish sauce.
As well as Noya's Kitchen in Bath, I run Vietnamese classes and food adventures at School of Wok in London. So... if you can't make it to beautiful Bath look me up in the Big Smoke!
Hey, you're very welcome at Noya's Kitchen...
