  Come hungry. Thao was my chef instructor and she did a wonderful job explaining EVERYTHING from ingredients, instructions and proper technique of preparing, serving and eating dishes.

• Cooking in the garden:)

  The location of this workshop itself is amazing. You are stationed in a beautiful garden under the roof with an outside kitchen setup. Start of the workshop is really special as you go to the market and pick up the ingredients with the host. During the class you join the host with the preparation of rice noodle spring rolls, bun bo hue soup, banana dessert and egg coffee. I suggest you do this class as soon you arrive to vietnam, so you get a good feel of the local food.

  We loved it! The chef was so nice, talkative, and incredibly knowledgeable. First, she showed us around a great local market, and then we went to the cooking class in a beautiful outdoor kitchen. We spent a few lovely hours there learning how to prepare several Vietnamese dishes. Everything we tried was so tasty! It was the best way to start our trip around Vietnam, and we highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about Vietnamese food and culture and spend a great time.

  

  

  

  

  

• Loved Thao’s amazing cooking class!

  I can’t say enough good things about this cooking class! It was an incredible experience — 100% hands-on from start to finish. We cooked and then enjoyed a phenomenal meal with heaps of delicious food, and had such fun cooking in the garden with Thao (I hope I spelled that right!). Thao was a wonderful host and instructor — passionate, knowledgeable, and eager to share her love of Vietnamese cooking. We’d go again tomorrow if we could and have absolutely no reservations about highly recommending Thao’s cooking class to everyone!

  Had an absolute blast! Chef Thao was wonderful and so knowledgable and I loved that it was in an outdoor area (you are covered from the sun and there’s fans going so it isn’t too hot at all). Make sure to come extremely hungry though as you make a ton of food to eat!

• A must-do activity while in Ho Chi Minh City

  The day started in a local market followed by the going to the venue of the actual cooking class. We cooked outdoors under bamboo huts, surrounded by trees, spices, sunshine. The chef was amazing and very passionate about what she does and it reflects in the dishes we prepared

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• Fantastic experience in HCMC

  This was an amazing experience, 1000% recommended! Thao brought us around her bustling neighbourhood morning market, picking up fresh veggies for the day and showing us the various stalls in the area - how locals go about their daily routines. For the cooking class (a short bike ride away), she showed us how to make a few simple but perfectly well balanced dishes - mango salad, sour fish soup, banh xeo, a pandan banana dessert, and egg coffee. (We were so full! Could have done a half banh xeo!) Thao was warm, fun, and friendly, and her instructions were clear and easy to follow. She took the class at a relaxed pace, and showed us tips and tricks to fix some basic cooking problems. What I appreciated most was that she took the time to make a personal connection and share with us little snippets of her life and daily routines. This was such a treat. Thank you Thao and the Vietnam Flavour company!

  

  

  

  

  

• Amazing experience of Vietnamese kitchen

  This cooking class was truly exceptional. It began with a visit to a real local market in the 5th District — not the tourist one — and from the very first moments, you could feel that Masterchef Thao is not only an expert in Vietnamese cuisine, but also deeply connected to the local community and the region. Her knowledge and passion made the market tour both insightful and authentic. We prepared five dishes: the famous Pho Bo soup, salad, banana dessert in panda leaves, and egg coffee. The cooking studio is located outdoors in a beautiful garden, creating a fantastic atmosphere. I had the privilege of a 1:1 cooking session lasting around five hours, and Thao made every minute worthwhile. She was incredibly attentive, generous with background information, and explained everything in clear, excellent English. She is friendly, patient, and genuinely cares about your experience and understanding of Vietnamese flavours and techniques. She also tells you many stories about the region, country, and culture, and it becomes not only a cooking class but also a Vietnam class, which I loved. I enjoyed every moment — not only as a culinary adventure but also as a deep dive into Vietnamese culture, traditions, and attitudes. One of the best experiences I’ve had in Vietnam and highly recommended! At the end, you also get the receipt book via mail so that you can cook it again at home.
