We will nicely embark by boat ( about 35 minutes trip) to join my family’s village on a small and beautiful island on the peaceful river delta of Hoi An. Upon your arrival, you will be served a fresh and delicious fruit juice, a typical Vietnamese fruit-based drink. While you enjoy your tasty drink, It will be the opportunity to learn about the Vietnamese countryside life and meet Grandma. From here, we will go to my family’s home where you will begin your cooking lesson. Learn how the rice paper, used in the flavorful fried eggroll is prepared and how to prepare several typical succulent dishes of this authentic region: -Banh Xeo (small rice flour crepes) a specialty of Hoi An. -Grilled, marinated pork brochettes with a special sauce. -Green papaya salad -Fish prepared according to a local recipe. * Vegetarian menu on request: Banh Xeo, Eggplant grilled, Green papaya salad, Mushroom, and tofu clay pot. Once this tasty meal has been prepared, we will enjoy the meal in my grandmother’s garden. You will also be served pumpkin soup and “Xí Mà“ a delicious dessert (black sesame pudding). We will return to Hoi An by boat.

This is a must for anyone visiting Hoi An. The whole experience with Nga was amazing. From the boat ride to rice paper making, then the 4 dishes we made and ate...Exceptional. Wonderful experience. Thankyou

This was a great experience and combined learning about the local river and island communities during the boat ride, traditional cooking methods demonstrated, and then actually cooking 4 different dishes and getting to eat them. All while hearing about Grandma, her recipes, and family. Her granddaughter was our guide/instructor and made us very welcome to her Grandma's home! Note: It all came out delicious but we couldn't finish because it was so much food! 😋😋

By far, this was one of the best experiences we have had while traveling. The guide, the food, the education and the atmosphere were beyond!! A must do for anyone who wants to absorb the Vietnamese culture.

Grandma’s Kitchen was a recommendation from a colleague back home and she said it was a highlight of her trip and we agree. From start to finish Thom takes you on a family journey that reflects their love of cooking and family. Thom shows you traditional methods of food preparation and the layout and cooking stations are fantastic. As a food lover it was a wonderful experience.
