Ho Chi Minh City Cooking Classes

Hoas cooking class was an absolute delight. We were able to prepare all the dishes that we requested beforehand and we learned so much about the Vietnamese cuisine. Per our request all dishes were prepared vegetarian/vegan and everything tasted so good. Hoa is a very sweet person and it was so lovely to chat with her. We can absolutely recommend this class to everybody.

It's a cool little apartment in Chinatown. Very clean and bright. Only a few of us were there, but we made Chicken Pho, Papaya salad, and a mix of fillings for the pancake. Easy to follow instructions and very hands-on, prepping prawns, roasting the herbs, and of course flipping the pancakes! Good value for money and lots of fun

A fantastic experience discovering the subtleties of Vietnamese cuisine by preparing four dishes. The format is perfect: a little exploration of the city, shopping at the local market, preparing the dishes under the guidance of an experienced chef, and then tasting our creations.

Amazing lesson with cheffe Lua! We learnt precisely how to cook 3 recipes and also several variations. The cooking class was very intimate, we had a really great time cooking, chatting and eating. My girlfriend and I recommend it 100%!

Cook and Lucy were fun. Entertaining with small nuggets of history and culture. I enjoyed my class. Thank you 😊

Cutting and cooking. Everything was great!!

Fun, organized, educational and delicious. Exactly as described. Lively, enthusiastic guide/chef Alice leads you on a farm tour and through cooking 4 dishes. Time to eat; relaxed yet filled with info. Highly recommended.

Had a great time and very interactive. Great food and lots of fun cooking. I took my 9 year old and 5 year old who enjoyed it and learned a lot. Thanks Eva

I took Lua’s class on how to make banh mi and I had such an incredible time! Lua was incredibly hospitable, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic in sharing her knowledge and love of cooking and baking. Even though I already had good background knowledge of the process of baking bread, learning how to make banh mi with Lua was incredibly insightful as she understood the small intricacies and details that separated what made a Vietnamese banh mi from other traditional methods of making bread, such as sourdough and campaigne loaves. Hearing her explanations and following along with her instructions was incredibly easy and I managed to create a successfully beautiful loaf on the first try, even with a few mistakes here and there. What was great as well, was that she also offered help troubleshooting our own bakes when we would try it at home. I had such a great time with this class and highly recommend it for anyone who is looking to learn how to bake an authentic banh mi!

We really enjoyed the cooking class. It was entertaining and we learned a lot - a combination which is often hard to reach.

I did an all day class with Chef Linh. It was educational and entertaining. I learned to make 9 different dishes and was absolutely stuffed by the end of the day. Linh was very knowledgeable and this ended up being one of the highlights of my trip. I can’t recommend this enough to anyone who’s considering it.

This was a really useful session. I have been making bread succesfully for 5 years but have found Banh Mi a challenge. Lua is a knowledgeable and generous teacher. It was great to receive tips and practical guidance that I hope will enhance my next attempts.

Lua’s class was a great way to taste Vietnamese cooking and to be able to make things we can do at home as well. We learnt about quality ingredients and how to look out for them. She was able to adjust to people’s dietary needs like vegetarian, lower chilli spice or more spice. She sent us the recipes afterwards so I can’t wait to try these at home. This was a really fun afternoon on our holiday in Vietnam.
