Nice to Cook Your Own Vietnamese Meal
Arnold_D, May 2024
Learned what the ingredients for Bun Cha, Pho Bo, Papaya Salad, Hanoi Springrolls, and Egg Coffee are and how to make them. The instructions were easy and quick. Recommend you schedule your cooking time during lunch or dinner, because you make more than enough for a meal.
Great tour

Very good experience! Our tour Bella was super nice, knowledgeable and spoke good English. She explained everything, answered all our questions and gave time for everyone to finish their tasks.
Amazing Vietnamese cooking experience
Patrick_V, Apr 2024
We enjoyed very much our cooking class with Emma and staff. She took us first to the market and explained about the different ingredients to be used in the recipes. We then started cooking the dishes as explained by her meticulously, and in a fun and ver personal manner. She involved everyone in the cooking somehow, without making anyone uncomfortable. Big thumbs up for Emma and this amazing Vietnamese cooking experience. Oh, by the way … we ofcourse got to eat everything ourselves!
Recommend with May!

Our teacher, May, did a great job of pacing the cooking lesson and allowing every member of the class to equally participate.
Cooking a lovely cuisine
JoAnna_C, Apr 2024
I went with my daughter, it was fun walking around the street markets as a group. The markets were close by. Ruby was our head chef who taught us 5 amazing dishes which we ate as a group afterwards. This tour would not suit anyone who cant walk up 4 flights of steep stairs but I thoroughly recommend these classes.
Great fun and great food
Ingride_C, Apr 2024
Had the course with May as the instructor. First we did a trip to the market learning a bit of history and about the ingredients, and then we got to cooking. It was a lot of a fun and food was absolutely delicious

A tasty adventure
Percy_H, Apr 2024
Fantastic experience from beginning to end. May led us through the market to pick up the ingredients and told us the purpose of each. Then the fun began in the kitchen which resulted in a very tasty meal. Thank you May!
A Culinary Journey Through Hanoi's Heart
Adnan_z, Apr 2024
The "5 Traditional Dishes Hanoi Cooking Class with Market Trip" was an unforgettable experience that offered a deep dive into the vibrant culinary landscape of Hanoi. Our tour guide, Bella, was the epitome of knowledge and passion. She not only had an extensive understanding of Vietnamese cuisine but also shared fascinating stories behind each dish, making the entire experience more enriching.The pickup process was seamless. We were given clear instructions a day before, and the pickup was punctual, leaving no room for any anxiety about the waiting time. This promptness ensured that we maximized our day, focusing solely on the culinary adventures that awaited us. Speaking of value for money, this experience is a steal. Not only did we learn to cook five traditional Vietnamese dishes under expert guidance, but the inclusion of the market trip added an authentic layer to the whole experience. It's one thing to cook with ingredients, but to select them from a bustling local market adds an invaluable dimension to the learning process. What I loved most was the hands-on cooking experience. Each participant was given personal attention, ensuring that we truly learned and understood each step of the cooking process. The dishes we prepared were not just recipes but stories of Hanoi's culture and traditions.

Vy was a wonderful teacher. Each dish was delicious! Since a few members of the group were vegetarian we learned both the meat- and vegetarian-methods to create 5 traditional Vietnamese dishes.
Great class in Hanoi
Sebastian_R, Feb 2024
We were fortunate enough to have a private class with Vy, who showed us how to select the right ingredients at the market and prepare them into amazing dishes. Definitely a highlight of our time in Hanoi, and I encourage anyone to participate in this class.
Vy is a beautiful soul.
LisaJane_M, Feb 2024
Vy is so capable, open hearted, warm and generous. She gave as much help and guidance as we needed, whilst expertly coordinating the group to magic up 5 delicious dishes with varying levels of complexity. It all seemed so effortless! Wonderful opportunity to learn about Vietnamese ingredients and cooking in the market and in the kitchen and to eat our meal together as a group.
Excellent cooking class
Nicola_T, Feb 2024
Excellent, informative cooking class led by chef Kim. There were nine students. We started with a visit to the local market, then returned to the nearby cooking studio to prepare five dishes - beef pho, bun cha, crispy spring rolls with dipping sauce, green papaya salad, egg coffee. Lots of hands on time, with clear instructions from Kim who spoke good English. After, we enjoyed the fruits of our labour and were given take home recipes.
