Great vegetarian cooking experience

Had a great private vegetarian cooking class today. The class is usually for several participants but they decided to not cancel on me and still walked around old quarter to buy some veggies and tofu which we then used in the class. Especially but not only for vegetarians, this is a very nice class to learn to cook some Vietnamese dishes.
