We had the best time learning how to make 5 traditional dishes with Coco. Coco is a fantastic teacher, she shares her personal experience and gets everyone to contribute, even the little ones. With the little recipe book we got I hope we’ll get to cook these dishes again once back home. Would definitely recommend trying this out while in Hanoi!
