Grandma's Cooking class

Excellent guide and chef Thom. I learned how to make and cook rice paper. The food was delicious and fresh. 4 courses! I am so glad I chose to pay a little more to travel with her to her Grandma's island, where she grew up as a girl, and get a glimpse ofvrural life. Boat trip back to Hoian office was lovely too.

Fantastic food on an nice island

We met up with Thom our guide and cooking instructor in Hoi An. Went on a easy boat ride to her family's home. There we learned about old methods to prepare rice for cooking, and grinded rice which together with water made the basis for the selfmade rice noedels. In a clean and practical set-up we received the necessary ingedients and followed step-by-step the clear (and very good English!) instructions on how to prepare and cook several delicious dishes, instantly becoming chefs! Our main meal we ate together at the diner table with added rice and vegetables, and a litle rice-wine. Back at the office we received a very nice cook-book, with the recipes, the ingredients and all the instructions on 'how to make'. As the ingredients are easy available at home, and the instructions are very clear, I will be making and enjoying them at home. Thank you very much Thom, I had a great time!

One of the best cooking classes I’ve ever taken.

For years, I’ve been reviewing cooking classes around the world for magazines — and more recently on Instagram for Cookbookandkitchen. This class was exceptional: flawlessly organized and genuinely hands-on. Eight attentive assistants guided every step and made sure we sliced, shaped, cooked, and worked correctly — relaxed, but with real precision. Thom, who led the course, spoke excellent English, had a great sense of humor, and ran the session with confidence from start to finish.

Fabulous experience and great food

If you only do one thing in Hoi An - go on this cooking course. You get to see a part of regional Vietnam and how many of the Vietnamese are still living today. We got to use equipment for splittng rice and making rice milk. The cooking class itself was really well done. I am not a great cook but the others in the class were really proficient - and Thom catered to the different skill levels. The recipes are inspiring for cooking more at home. The 30 minute trip to and from Hoi An was lovely - especially on the boat. Cannot recommend highly enough.
