Youve been in Vietnam for two years during which you have establisheda solid reputation for yourself. What can diners expect from you at thePress Club Hanoi and Emeraude Classic Cruises?They can expect a big departure from the existing menu. You will see a lotmore fusion of western and Asian cuisine as I source a lot of local produce.You can expect good taste, good presentation as this is what I am knownfor. Ive had a few tastings the past month-and-a-half and am planning somemore in October too. For the Emeraude Classic Cruises, I plan to update themenu too.
How do you describe your philosophy?Very simple: Im a happy man. I try not to get a big head, which many chefshave and then they cant fix a problem. Thats not me. Im solution-oriented;and all about the food, good simple honest-to-goodness food.
You have worked as a chef for 15 years. What can we expect from you thatbest reflects your talents?In simple terms: A menu that showcases creativity; fuses various cuisinesusing local produce and food that is stylistically presented.
When planning menus, where do you seek inspiration?I turn to culinary books, magazines and my previous places of work. I tend tokeep abreast of trends in the culinary arts but produce must also be availablelocally for it to work. Food must be good looking but it must taste good too.
You have nearly a decades experience of working on cruises as a chef inAsia and Antarctica. What are some of the challenges of working on board?Ive worked on small ships, big ships, cruise ships, and been on cruises forthree months over summers in the Antarctica where the temperature is 2 to5 degrees Celsius. You work with the same people every day so you have tomake sure the team works well together, that you reach the targets set andthat you dont lose anyone.
Whats been your best work experience thus far?The Fairmont in Canada. I gained the best knowledge working with the chefthere. I also learned a lot on a cruise ship in Japan.
You were in Vietnam for two years before joining the Press Club Hanoiand Emeraude Classic Cruises as executive chef. What are some of thelessons youve learned in the kitchen?The Vietnamese are always smiling and very helpful; they are also very hardworking people. I appreciate that very much.
How do you describe your leadership style in the kitchen?Im very strict, very demanding but also very conscientious. Im a stickler fordiscipline and presentation is key so I always try to make it a point to checkthat the plates look good before they are sent out to guests.
As an executive chef, much of your time is spent in managing thekitchen, in this case two and mentoring staff. How much time do youget on the stove?Mentoring staff is the most difficult but also the most fun part of being achef. It may be easy to show someone how to make something but difficultto translate your vision but I enjoy training young chefs and watchingthem grow. As for cooking, I try to spend at least four hours a day cookingbecause that is very important.
What advice would you give aspiring chefs?Dont watch Master Chef. Everyone, especially here in Vietnam, thinks thatits that simple or that you need a few years experience. In reality, you needa lot of training, a lot of patience and, above all, an apprenticeship.
Guillaume
INTERVIEW
Theres a buzz in the kitchen at the Press ClubHanoi. The new executive chef, GuillaumeGuertin, is preparing a new menu, one that hellunveil slowly, as hes in no rush and he wants

Northern Vietnam is famous for the dramatic
limestone seascape of Halong Bay, where
towering karsts rise from the tropical waters
to form an archipelago of jungle-crownedpeaks. Fewer people know however,
that these dramatic natural wonders
stretch inland, forming some of the most
picturesque natural landscapes Vietnamhas to offer.
In Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Vietnam
in the 10th and 11th Centuries, theselimestone karsts rise dramatically from the
rice elds of Ninh Binh province to create a
stunning area of natural beauty. And as the
surrounding land is relatively at, the regionmakes for a perfect cycling destination.
This pedal-powered day trip takes visitorson a 45km overland adventure from Hoa
Lu to the limestone caves of Tam Coc.
Departing at 8am cyclists can visit imperial
temples dating back to the Dinh Dynasty(968-80) and Le Dynasty (980-1009), and
the former ancient citadel of Hoa Lu.
Out in the stunning Vietnamese countryside,
the tour winds its way through traditional
villages and rice paddies, where guests
will be able to witness a way of life that has
gone largely unchanged for decades. After
a Vietnamese lunch, the afternoon is spent
on a traditional sampan boat, cruising along
the Ngo Dong River to Tam Coc, or the
three caves. Adventurous visitors can also
climb to the Bich Dong Pagoda on nearby
Ngu Nhac Mountain.
This is the perfect way to experience
Vietnams less-explored inland Halong
Bay, away from the crowds.

Banh Cuon
It is this wild something that Id like to turnthe readers attention to now, not in anattempt to make the city seem more exotic,but in hopes that remembering nature willmake us all a bit more human among allthe developing shopping centers and skyscraping buildings.
Take the house gecko, for example. Its acreature that many would call cute andjust as soon leave it to live in peace thantry to chase it out. The gecko maintainsan important role in this urban landscapein its ability to cohabitant with humanswithout causing a disruption of dailyactivity. In even the cleanest and newestliving spaces, the site of a gecko, in my perspective I should say, isno stain on the reputation of place, whether it is a fancy hotel or anexpensive restaurant.
The small frog maintains a similarly endearing presence in thehomes of many. It is rather friendly as a creature and occasionallysings a romantic croaking from the garden. The small frog keeps aclose place in my heart, it is not threatening and despite living indirty places, somehow always seems quite clean. I feel content tolisten to the frogs around my house; their song is a peaceful one tomy ears.
Hanoi being a city of several lakes and trees, its possible to spotwild birds fluttering about among the branches of lakesidegreenery. Though it is much more common to see birds containedin cages and undergoing training sessions to compete in voice
competition, there are still many varieties of wild birds visible tothe observant eye. And if they are not visible, perhaps at least theyare audible, with their songs echoing from far above.If you had asked me years ago what the habitat of a snail was,I would have confidently answered the ocean, of course. Now,
however, my answer has opened up toa much wider setting, including suchunlikely places as a bathroom, a gardennowhere near the ocean, a concretehighway. That snails are able to live inenvironments far away from the beachmay not be news to you, but to me, this
fact is still somewhat surprising to meevery time I see a snail inching slowlyalong a sunny sidewalk.
To speak for a moment on the lesserloveable, the cockroach, I must. Thecockroach gets unfair treatmentfrom many people, myself included.Why it is considered more abhorrent,
disgusting, and downright frightening, while the sweet gecko isleft alone to crawl about the ceiling in peace, I dont know. Perhapsthe cockroach triggers a primitive fear in all humans because itsresiliency. Maybe our subconscious knows that the cockroachwill outlive us and so we resent it for being able to survive whenwe are not. Whatever the reason, this form of urban wildlife iscertainly noticeable in Hanoi, maybe even more so because of theunpleasant reaction it stimulates in us.
There are many other species of wildlife that can be observedaround the city if we keep our eyes open to them. And with thechanging seasons, new wildlife can present itself. There is alwayssomething to discover, it is just a matter of looking.
