Chef-turned-author Anthony Bourdain takes every opportunity he can to wax rhapsodic about the food in Vietnam. The Sheraton in Nha Trang is turning the lure of Vietnamese food for tourists into an industry creating a new cooking school.

"The culinary assets in this hotel are not the usual fare," said Michiel de Kleer, director of food and beverage for Sheraton Nha Trang Hotel & Spa. "In the same way that diners worldwide respond enthusiastically to Vietnamese food. We always say this hotel is a playground for a chef. I think it's heaven for anyone who with a passion for food."

The hotel's culinary crew will teach guests how to make Vietnamese staples and cocktail training can also be arranged. At Steam 'n Spice, a new dim-sum dining concept, guests can look into the show kitchen and watch dim sum chef Huynh Viet Cuong pull those noodles, a trade he learned in Ho Chi Minh City at Madame Ngoc's Com Nieu Saigon, a spot that was featured on Tony Bourdain's television program, A Cook's Tour.
