A prestigious group of professional culinarians visiting from the US.

When we first booked this experience, I had my doubts that a group of chefs and food professionals from the US would enjoy a "cooking class", given their collective experience. Nothing could be further from the truth. Chef Minh and his team, in the incredible oasis of Toi Toi culinary center not only taught us unique technique and secrets of Vietnamese classics, they did so in a way that simply floored each chef. The garden, the outdoor grill, the incredibly appointed teaching kitchen, and the finale of sitting down for a lunch of our collective dishes was an experience that could not have been imagined. We had spent 5 days touring shrimp farms and techniques in Souther Vietnam. Finishing our trip in Hanoi with Chen Minh's afternoon of cooking and camaradrie was a highlight of our time Vietnam. Thank you chef and everyone on your team, we had an amazing time! Chef Brad Nelson, Retired VP Global Culinary Marriott International Founder, KitchenOpsConsulting LLC

Excellent cooking class with a 5 stars chef

From going to the market to buy fresh ingredients to tasting what we had cooked p, the whole experience was very enjoyable. Hung is a very good chef and a very good teacher, you will assuredly enjoy learning to cook vietnamese food with him.
