Ryan's mum is Vietnamese and he is cooking a dish from Vietnam that she has taught him. He works hard in the kitchen mixing lots of ingredients together, including pork, prawns and fresh mint. He even finds time to teach us the Vietnamese word for egg! One of Ryan's ingredients is fresh mint, but not all of Ryan's friends like the taste or smell of it at first. Some of them even think it smells like toothpaste! Let's hope they like the taste of the fresh mint once it is cooked in the food. Ryan also decorates a beautiful Vietnamese style table and treats his friends to sweet fruit after the meal.

Catfish is a popular fish in Thailand and today Pearlina is serving it with sticky rice. She works hard in the kitchen, combining lots of ingredients to make a special Thai dressing to brush all over the fish. Before they come over, Pearlina's friends taste one of her important ingredients - lemongrass. They're not too keen on it at first, but Pearlina hopes they will like the taste of lemongrass when they taste it in her finished recipe. Pearlina's friends love her beautiful Thai-themed table, and she even finds time to teach them some Thai.
