5.00We had an excellent time led by the brilliant Coco. We got to make a great range of dishes, learning lots about techniques and traditions. We had a vegetarian in our party and the class was perfectly adapted for them with delicious alternatives to the meat options others were making. Great value experience, would highly recommend.
Wonderful!

5.00This was so much fun. There was a family of four that were great that joined my hubby and I. Vy was our tour guide. She was absolutely amazing. She took us to a couple of spots to buy fresh ingredients. Then she took us back to her shop and we all cooked and make amazing food. Vy was so sweet, energetic, had great English, loved her job, and was just such a peach to teach us all what she's knows. This meal was by far my favorite of our entire trip. Please book this tour!!
Excellent experience

5.00Lynn was fantastic! We first spent a little time at street markets, and Lynn explained about the different foods offered. Then we went back to the cooking facility where everyone was involved in each step of preparation. The result was an excellent meal that we all enjoyed. There was plenty of food for all. Thank you, Lynn, for a great time! It was a lot of fun, and we appreciated the cookbook!!
Unforgettable Cooking Experience

5.00We recently took a cooking class in Hanoi and it was a blast! Our instructor was knowledgeable, passionate, friendly and patient. We visited the local market, learned to make delicious dishes like stir-fried chicken with lemongrass and beef pho, and enjoyed our creations over a lovely meal. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun, making it perfect for travelers looking to immerse themselves in Vietnamese culture. Highly recommended.
