Hoi An Kochkurse

This class promises choice and it delivers. We had 8 people and nine different dishes. Van is an amazing teacher and guide to the food of Vietnam. While other cooking classes give you a cursory markets tour with Van you buy what you’re going to cook. A truly great experience for people who love to cook and love to eat.

We had the most extraordinary experience at Leina Cookery in Hanoi, Vietnam. From the warm welcome to the amazing food, it was a memorable day with my husband. The staff's kindness and expertise made the cooking class a delightful and delicious experience. I highly recommend Leina Cookery for a fantastic culinary adventure in Hanoi!

Amazing experience! Feels like you are just cooking in the home of a friend who happens to be a cooking teacher! Highly recommended!

If you’re looking for a quieter class than most of them that are available then this one would be perfect for you. It was just me and my partner so we had Nga all to ourselves! She took us through all the steps to make 4 delicious dishes and I would do that all again in a heartbeat. Best experience ever

We want to thank Long and his family for the joyful afternoon they organised for us. They were very welcoming hosts. In particular, the basket boat tour was very exciting; we even managed to catch a small fish and a crab which we dutifully returned back to the water. The subsequent cooking class was a fun experience as well, with a lot of food. Although for regular homecooks like us, there were not any new techniques we discovered, we still learned some delicious vietnamese recipes. Over dinner Long joined us for a chat which made us feel like part of the extended family rather than mere "clients". To conclude: good food, good mood!

We learnt how to cook four dishes, the quality of the ingredients was outstanding, the dishes incredible. We had a great feed and we were so full, we missed our evening meal.

Had a fun time on this cooking class with Nhi! We made 4 delicious Vietnamese dishes that were fresh and healthy. Nhi is also full of enthusiasm and energy when teaching. I have finally learnt how to make fresh spring rolls! And will certainly be cooking the recipes at home. The class was held at an open air location outside of busy Hoi An. Also enjoyed visiting the food market and seeing where the food comes from. Nhi certainly has an eye for picking good, fresh produce! The boat trip was a random, but nice touch too.

Lots of information, well planned day.

We had a fantastic evening with Nya. We booked day of and were the only 2 in the class, which meant we had a really personal experience and could try everything. She focusses on simple, tasty dishes that can be made in your home country, so it's very practical. We also got beers to enjoy with our meal. Her husband was a star for taking lots of pictures too, documenting the process. There aren't many cooking classes in the evening that don't involve the boats, markets etc. (which can be a bit touristy) I can't recommend Leina's Cookery enough! 10/10 experience.

Leina’s cookery was an amazing experience in Hoi An. We turned up expecting a group class, but we were pleasantly surprised by a table full of food setup outside the owner's cafe just for us! We were greeted with a refreshing juice drink before we started cooking. We were guided through, step by step, how to cook traditional Vietnam dishes from scratch. Picked up lots of clever tricks to try at home. They even took photos of us throughout and explained steps so we could take notes. We enjoyed each meal after we cooked it with a cold beer. They were brilliant hosts who made us feel very welcome in their cafe/kitchen. We could not recommend this experience enough if you want to try Vietnamese food and like cooking!

This was the best spent time in Hoi An. Very good contact and flexibility w.r.t. pickup and drop off. Interesting shopping on local market, with few unexpected information. The cooking class itself was conducted expertly. Just right amount of preparation (cutting etc.) was done for us, so we could focus on important parts of meal preparations and cooking. The result was very tasty! Definitely recommended!

I came to the class with my three teenage children. All of us had an awesome time. We have done six different tours/classes over two weeks in Vietnam, and this was definitely the best. LOVED the buffalo ride, great farming experience, fantastic cooking lesson with recipes I can definitely cook at home in Australia. We will definitely come back to Vietnam to return to this farm and visit this amazing family.

We absolutely loved this. The family including my 5-year-old child had such a great time. We went to the market to learn about the various ingredients and how they are incorporated into Vietnamese cuisine. Then we went on a boat to try our hand at fishing and caught a crab. Then we went to the kitchen with an instructor to cook 4 separate dishes with our own hot plates. Healthy clean eating, synonymous with everything Hoi An!

Thom, our guide, was just wonderful. Our detailed tour of the central market was informative and fun. We got to sample many different herbs and fruits. We took our bikes on the ferry to an island where we rode to Grandma’s house. We appreciated seeing Vietnamese people moving through their day. The cooking class was great! We made interesting and tasty dishes. Thom’s talent as a cook clearly visible. Would recommend to anyone. Learned some things we will use at home. Great day and tour.

My parents-in-law had great experiences in local market, fishing und specially in cooking. At the end, we even got the recipes for some Vietnamese dishes. My family love it so much. Now when they go back to Germany, they can cook some Vietnamese food their self. Mr. Long and the lady (sorry I forgot the name) are so friendly and sweet. Thank you very much! Highly recommended! 😊
