5.00I thoroughly enjoyed my 5h with the Thom cookery school. Jase (? spelling), our host and teacher for the morning, was absolutely brilliant. I was picked up and taken to meet her, and 2 other tourists, at one of the old market entrances. She took us round the market and showed us different fruits/vegetables/herbs/barks etc and explained the ways/foods of the local people. We then went (by car) to the cookery school in district 4, which was is an oasis of peace and calm, with multiple fruit trees and a large herb and vegetable garden which we were shown round. We were able to eat some fruits I’d never heard of and then started preparing our dishes. Clear chicken broth, spring rolls, stir fried beef and noodle salad and morning glory with garlic. Jase was lovely and explained everything so well. It was a small group class so we were able to ask lots of questions. We ate our dishes for lunch and it was all delicious. It was a wonderful experience and very good value for money. Thank you

5.00A great half day spent with family having a guided tour around the food markets and cooking class, then getting to sit with all those that joined us on the tour, eating what we prepared. The markets were wonderful to experience for us, as we don’t see that sort of thing where we live in Dunedin, New Zealand. The cooking class was made super fun and informative with Mango.

5.00Just book it!!! Our day was about what was expected! Getting a local to walk us through the market added so much more to the experience. The property where you cook was such a suprise from the busy city, it really sets the tone for an enjoyable experience. The food was so good and the spring roles we made were my favorite from the whole trip. I can't say enough good things about our time!

5.00She is very fun and knows her way around the kitchen. We shopped for food, prepared, cooked and then ate the meal all the while learning about Vietnamese culture and customs. She even walked us back to our flooded hotel in the rain when we could not get a taxi! A wonderful experience!
A must go activity in Hanoi.

5.00This experience has been the highlight of my trip to Vietnam. Wandering the local markets with our guide who was very informative purchasing some goodies to Sample along the way. Then over to the cooking class where we picked fresh herbs from the garden had an amazing welcome drink and got to taste the items we purchased at the market before preparing cooking and eating what we made in the cooking class. Highly recommend experiencing this while in Vietnam
