Hanoi on a Plate: Cook Authentic Vegetarian Vietnamese Dishes With Unlimited Liquor Tasting

About

Are you a passionate vegetarian seeking an immersive culinary adventure in Vietnam? Our Authentic Vietnamese Vegetarian Cooking Class in Hanoi offers the perfect blend of culture, flavor, and hands-on fun. Begin your journey with a guided market tour, where you'll explore vibrant local stalls, learn about regional ingredients, and handpick the freshest herbs and vegetables.

Back in the kitchen, dive into a hands-on cooking session led by a skilled local chef. You'll learn how to craft a variety of healthy and flavorful Vietnamese vegetarian dishes using traditional techniques and locally sourced produce. Whether you're new to the kitchen or a seasoned home cook, this experience is designed to inspire and deepen your love for plant-based cooking.

As a special bonus, enjoy a complimentary wine tasting to complement your meal and take home a beautifully designed recipe book so you can recreate your favorite dishes long after your trip. More than just a class, this is a cultural journey into the heart of Vietnamese cuisine.

The liquor tasting is a complimentary local experience for our guests. We currently offer three types of traditional Vietnamese wines and liquors as part of this tasting:

•  Apricot wine
•  Mulberry wine
•  Artichoke flower wine

Note:
Every guest who books with us will contribute $1 to our charity meals for pediatric patients in central Hanoi hospitals. At Dine With Locals, everything we do goes back to the communities we serve, and we cannot fulfill this important responsibility without you.
