About

Cook & Taste Vietnam – A Cultural Food Journey

Step into the heart of Vietnamese culture as you learn each recipe step by step, discovering how these dishes are woven into daily life, traditions, and the country’s unique identity.

This isn’t just a cooking class. It’s a true cultural immersion — where food becomes a language, and your guide is not only a chef but also a Cultural Storyteller.

Set in a peaceful hidden garden villa just 15 minutes from Hanoi’s Old Quarter, this hands-on experience invites you to cook two iconic Vietnamese dishes: Phở and Bánh Xèo, while listening to the stories that make them unforgettable. After cooking, unwind with a traditional Vietnamese coffee of your choice in the serene villa courtyard.

More than just recipes, each dish reflects generations of tradition. And through every step — from fresh herbs to final plating — you’ll discover how flavors are deeply connected to the soul of Vietnam.
