Hanoi cooking class

• Morning Class: 9:00 to 13:30

Your day begins with a convenient pick-up from your hotel, and we’ll head out for a delightful stroll through a vibrant local market. Here, you’ll get to immerse yourself in the bustling atmosphere, interact with friendly vendors, and select the freshest ingredients for our cooking session.

We have a sample menu that features some of the most beloved Vietnamese dishes, including the traditional rice noodles soup with beef/chicken known as “Pho,” the mouthwatering grilled pork balls with vermicelli called “Bun Cha,” the crispy and flavorful “Fried Spring Rolls” (Nem), and the refreshing “Banana Flowers Salad with Chicken” (Nom Hoa Chuoi). For our vegetarian friends, we have an equally delightful Veg Lover Menu, which includes delectable options such as spring rolls (fresh or fried), tofu in a luscious tomato sauce, eggplant with ginger sauce, and a sweet treat called “Che,” a traditional Vietnamese dessert.

At our local house, a skilled and friendly professional cook will be your guide throughout the class. Here’s the exciting part: while we have a sample menu, what you get to cook and savor will be entirely up to the group’s preference! Together, you’ll decide on the dishes you’re most interested in preparing and enjoying. Our goal is to make this experience as personalized and enjoyable as possible for each participant.

As you don your aprons and follow the cook’s expert instructions, you’ll learn the secrets behind authentic Vietnamese cooking techniques, ensuring that you can recreate these delectable dishes back home. It’s not just about cooking; it’s also about getting a fascinating glimpse into the local culture, history, and culinary traditions that have shaped these flavorful recipes.

After the cooking session, it’s time to savor the fruits of your labor! You’ll indulge in the dishes you’ve prepared, along with additional delicacies prepared by the instructor. To enhance your gastronomic journey, we’ll also introduce you to unique and special local wines and homemade drinks that perfectly complement the meal.

With satisfied taste buds and new culinary skills, we’ll conclude the class, and you’ll be comfortably dropped off at your hotel. Our small-group setting ensures that you have ample opportunities to interact, ask questions, and create lasting memories with your fellow food enthusiasts.

So, whether you’re a meat lover, a veggie aficionado, or someone who just loves to explore different flavors, our cooking class is tailored to cater to your preferences. Embrace the spirit of Vietnamese cuisine, and let’s embark on this delightful journey together! Remember, the dishes you’ll cook are entirely up to your group’s choice and will be decided upon during the pick-up.
