5.00I had been wanting to take this class for awhile, and I was so happy to finally take it today. Emmy, our teacher, was exceptional in her knowledge, expertise, English speaking, and gracefulness. In everything, from the market trip, the step by step meal prep, the cooking and finally enjoying this five course meal, Emmy was helpful, patient, and informative. As a vegetarian, we prepared vegetarian options as well as the normal meat based versions. We then enjoyed everything with a glass of rice wine and some fruit for dessert. My fellow classmates were wonderful and from all over the world, and sharing our stories was an unexpected benefit of the class. I highly recommend this trip for anyone interested in digging deeper into Hanoi cuisine and culture, perhaps meeting some great people along the way!

Food was amazing and the best part is that you make it. Thanks Hazel and the rest of the crew for making this a special experience!

5.00We did the 5 Traditional Dishes Hanoi Cooking Class with Market Trip in early January with Lynn. The whole experience was exceptional! First step was buying the food at the open-air markets. Then we went back to the Apron Up Cooking Class location nearby to prepare all the ingredients. I don't know how Lynn did it. There were so many ingredients, many steps for prep and cooking, and about 8 people. She did an excellent job of assigning tasks so that everyone did many steps of the process, and it somehow all came together for a wonderful meal. The location was very clean and professional. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Thank you, Lynn!

5.00This was a super fun experience! Vy was a great teacher who was very patient and encouraged us! I recommend booking direct as it was $32 (compared to $41 on GetYourGuide). Our class was around 3 hours long including eating time. And the food we cooked tasted amazing!!!
