We were nervous about our first ever cooking class. Emmy made everything so much fun and was so informative! She was so patient with us even when we weren't doing a great job and was so encouraging. On top of all this she took the time to explain why we were completing certain steps which helped us to remember what we were doing. The food we made was actually so delicious. This was such a wonderful experience.

Hazel was such a great teacher and very hands on. She made sure that we understand every step and instructions are clear. I would say that the experience is one of the most memorable one from my stay here in Hanoi. I definitely would recommend to anyone, especially under Hazel’s care.

Hazel was a wonderful and knowledgeable teacher. We loved the market visit to learn more about the ingredients and the small class size. The food was, also, very delicious to add on to it all!
