Join Chef Kim Vu For A "Date Night" Cooking Class- Sat May 23
Cook along with Chef Kim Vu on Saturday, May 23rd at 5pm PST for her first “Date Night” cooking class. She’s going to teach you how to make a three-course meal inspired by the seasonal produce of the Santa Monica Farmers Market, with two of her greatest hits from New Vietnamese restaurant, Không Tên.
Logon to twitch.tv/chefkimvu to watch the cooking demonstration at 5pm PST on Saturday, May 23rd. You’ll be able to comment and ask questions. Unlike Zoom, nobody will be able to see you, so come as you are! We’ll be cooking together for about ninety minutes up to two hours. Make sure to grab some snacks to munch on throughout the class.
Don’t worry if you can’t get all the ingredients for the salad or chicken - Chef Kim Vu can show you how to make it delicious now matter what you have in your kitchen!
Let us know on social or via email that you’ll be attending the class! It’s FREE. We are @vucacious everywhere, or ping Chef Kim Vu directly at @chefkimvu
