I had a lovely Vietnamese cooking lesson today at New York's Institute of Culinary Education (ICE). We made eight dishes, the ones pictured below plus a wonderful
bánh mì sandwich and shrimp and pork summer rolls.
Here are pictures of the final dishes:

All of the dishes were really good! They really captured the elegance and balance of well-prepared Vietnamese cuisine. I worked with a partner on the
bánh mì and the catfish in caramel sauce.
Highly recommended.
