What To Expect

Hello, fellow travelers from around the world! Welcome to Vietnam — a land where every meal tells a story, and every flavor carries the soul of our culture. After being picked up, you’ll visit a bustling local market to handpick fresh ingredients for your cooking class. This is not just shopping — it’s your first step into the rhythm of Vietnamese life. Along the way, we’ll share stories about the origins of ingredients, traditional beliefs, and how flavors are combined to reflect harmony and balance. With your basket full, we’ll return to our charming villa, surrounded by a lush 500m² garden. Guided by our professional chefs, you’ll learn to cook iconic Vietnamese dishes while uncovering the cultural stories hidden in each — why certain herbs go together, how a dish reflects its region, or how food connects generations.

I had such a wonderful time at Rose Kitchen in Hanoi! I joined a cooking class with Maxie, and she was absolutely amazing. Her English is excellent, and she explained everything so clearly. We made pho and egg coffee, and I learned so much about Vietnamese cooking and culture along the way. Maxie really knows what she’s doing and made the whole experience fun, relaxed, and enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend this class to anyone visiting Hanoi, it’s a great way to learn, cook, and have a fantastic time!
Funny and fun

If you could give it 7 stars. amazing experience, Aroma has been THE BEST guide you could ask for. Funny, with a visit to the market included, he has taught us with a lot of dedication and passion everything about Vietnamese cuisine and how to prepare it. The spectacular food, I will dream about it (food) most likely the next 3 months.

Fantastic experience. The cooking lesson included shopping at the markets for meat and vegetables, cutting and dicing lots of different herbs and veggies, and then making our own spring rolls, and preparing the meats for the barbecue. An outstanding evening!
