Homestay training in Lao Chai goes into the kitchen

Food safety is one of the important issues for homestay owners. Tourists from developed countries want to stay healthy in order to best enjoy their travels, and a high level of food safety is required in order for homestays to service their guests appropriately. During this trip, we took two opportunities to deliver food safety training in Lao Chai.

On our second evening in the village, Rachael and Trung hosted a food safety class and welcome dinner at Mr. Chinh's homestay. The food safety class was tied to the preparation of the welcome dinner, and the training was delivered while the meal was prepared. The participants learned about appropriate food handling and cleaning techniques. They also learned how to cook french fries. French fries are one of the common foods that homestays cook for guests here - commonly served with salt, garlic and chilis.
Ms. Dy (shown here with Rachael) was one of the participants at the first food safety workshop.

The second learning opportunity was at Mr. Cho's house. Mr. Cho is hoping to open an authentic H'mong homestay and is beginning to start learning the skills required. At Mr. Cho's house, Ms. Ngoc Anh delivered a cooking and food safety class, while Ms. Huyen and Trung taught some of their children English.
