Really great cooking class. We’ve been in Vietnam for about a week and this is the best food we’ve had. Recipes are easy to follow if you would like to recreate at home. Class size is small which makes things personable.
Fabulous experience

Lovely experience and they adapted really well for a vegetarian in our party. The hotel pick up made it very easy and the boat ride was a fun add on. Delicious food and strong hygiene standards throughout the cooking class.
