Authentic Vietnamese Cooking Experience with Market Tour in Da Nang

What to Expect

Join us for an authentic Vietnamese cooking experience in a warm local family home in Da Nang. Your hosts, Blue and family, will welcome you into our kitchen and guide you through the stories, traditions, and flavors behind each dish. Together, we will visit a local market to explore fresh Vietnamese ingredients before returning home for a hands-on cooking session where you will prepare iconic dishes such as phở, bún chả, mango salad, and crispy fried spring rolls.

What makes this experience memorable is not only the food, but the feeling of being welcomed like family. This is not a professional culinary school, but a cozy home setting where recipes passed down through generations are shared in a personal and interactive way. Guests will also get to enjoy Da Nang’s famous salted coffee or cacao while learning about everyday Vietnamese life and culture through food.
