Local Ingredient Support for Culinary Projects in Vietnam
When developing a recipe in a new market, ingredient availability can be an important part of the process.
Tastemaker Hub can provide access to a variety of cooking ingredients and discuss sourcing options that are appropriate for your recipes and project requirements.
The kitchen is led by Chef Võ Trọng Tường Lân, an ambassador for Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA), and supported by F&B professionals with more than 10 years of restaurant operations experience. This experience can be useful for chefs and food businesses working with local ingredients or adapting recipes for the Vietnamese market. Depending on the project, kitchen assistants can also be arranged to support tasks such as:
- Ingredient preparation
- Weighing
- Portioning
- Mise en place
- Kitchen preparation
- General support under the direction of your chef
Ingredient availability, required quantities and specialist requirements should be discussed before the kitchen session so the appropriate preparation can be arranged in advance.
