About

What better way to learn about cultures beyond our own than to experience it through food? Banh Cheo (Khmer crepes) falls into the category of special when it comes to foods that Cambodians love to eat together. This is a dish that, due to the various steps involved, invites a communal style of preparation.
Learn to make the light and delicate rice-based crepes. The turmeric flavored batter serves as the foundation for a good Banh Cheo.
You'll prepare a traditional filling with perfectly seared chicken and shrimp before prepping vegetables and herbs such as mint, cilantro, and basil for crunch and color. A well-balanced Tuk Trey P-heam (fish-sauce) will bring all the flavors to life whether dipping or drizzling. 
 
The final cooking step of Banh Cheo uses high heat and careful timing to produce the perfect filled crepe. 
 
On the menu:  

Banh cheo (Khmer rice crepe with chicken and shrimp).
Banh cheo tow-hoo (crepe with tofu).
Tuk trey P-heam (fish sauce dressing). 
Lettuce, cucumber, fresh herbs on the side.
Coconut jelly dessert.
Drinks will be provided.

Theary Tran

Theary spent her childhood years in her native Cambodia, where cooking was integral to the culture. Cooking with local ingredients and trusting her senses, Theary learned to achieve flavor in dishes that looked as good as they tasted. These skills enabled her to feel at home regardless of the cuisine she's exploring. For the past 20 years, Theary has been bringing her love of art and cooking to children and adults, teaching fundamentals as building blocks for creativity. The result is a safe and encouraging environment for students to explore their imaginations. Her goal is for each student to have a positive experience that inspires self-confidence, and the opportunity to connect with their own creativity. Theary is currently a K-6 educator locally and in Sonoma County. In her spare time, she spends time in the water, kayaking, hiking, or biking.
