"Fun and easy to follow."
It was a really fun and enjoyable activity.
It’s nice that there aren’t too many people as well, so you feel like you actually learn something. Lua was a really nice host and also very helpful. Moreover, we got some nice recommendations on where to find certain local foods and drinks.
Definitely worth it.

"Easy class, willing to participate."
Lua explained the cooking so easy, and each participant are willing to join in the cooking.
Even she allowed to use her room as my house during the cooking class and recommended good place to look around near her house and Ho Chi Minh city. I also took a street food tour from her and easy to enjoy and understand the local foods!
I will visit the cooking class again when I visit Ho Chi Minh next time!

"Fantastic Vietnamese home cooking class"
My family had a great time through the cooking class.
It was good to know how to cook exotic Vietnamese food for the first time.
The teacher was kind and considerate.
It was a more enjoyable time because the students who took the class together were pleasant.
I bought some of the good ingredients that I learned from her that I couldn't buy in Korea at the mart.
When I go back home after the trip, I'm going to make the dish that I learned from her.

"Delicious experience"
I booked the vegan cooking class with Lua for my father and me. We wanted to learn how to cook popular Vietnamese dishes for when we are back in Germany. We had a lot of fun with Lua and learned three easy and delicious dishes. Spring rolls which we have already loved and eaten a lot in Vietnamese restaurants in GER. Banh Xeo which we discovered some days ago in the Mekong Delta and we were curious about to learn what it contains in detail. And a banana coconut dessert, a perfect fit since I love bananas. Lua created a great environment and learning more about herself and the Vietnamese cuisine was a blast. Thanks for that great afternoon Lua. :)

We loved the very personal touch to this immersive cooking experience. We enjoy cooking and we’re not looking for a basic cooking class but one where we got also got learn about the cultural aspect of food, cooking traditions etc. For us this experience perfectly met our need.

"Typical Home cooking"
Thanks to Lua we were able to find about how the home made Vietnamese cooking looks like and tastes. It was more a meeting or gathering with purpose to cook together and eat together than actual class and we liked it this way. Lua created very relaxed atmosphere amd you get to meet other travelers which is simply great.

"Outstanding opportunity to cook in HCMC home"
We really enjoyed Lua's class -- her cooking skills, friendliness and adaptability.
We asked to make stuffed turmeric pancakes, banh xeo, which isn't on Lua's extensive list of items to cook. Lua accommodated us, teaching us how to make a savory pork-prawn-mushroom filling and light, crispy pancakes, which we ate folded into lettuce leaves and herbs.
While making fresh summer rolls and a banana pudding, we discussed the differences between northern and southern Vietnamese food and cultures, shared details about Lau's and our backgrounds, learned how she decided to teach cooking, and where she and we have traveled in Vietnam and internationally. A fun morning, delicious (and healthy) lunch, and super company. What could be better?

Lua was very friendly and inviting. She hosted our small group in her apartment where we were warmly welcomed. Lua has been cooking since she was a young child. The years of experience in cooking traditional Vietnamese food was evident in the deliciousness of the flavours in the dishes. Together we cooked a sensational and flavoursome 3 course meal. Lua was very accommodating to a vegan diet and provided us with the recipes for us to replicate at home. If you’re in Ho Chi Minh, it’s a must do!! Thanks Lua!

Lua was very friendly and knowledgeable and it was great to get some insights into Vietnamese culture from her. Would definitely recommend the experience while in Saigon.

Lua did a great job preparing everything and everybody could be of help afterwards to make the three course dinner perfect. We had all natural ingredients and she made sure that people with allergies got to eat everything as well. We had a nice group of seven people and talked a lot while eating and cooking. Great start to Vietnamese food.

Therefore if you have a little spare time left during your vacation I would really recommend you to spend a few lovely hours with Lua!(:

"Local, Authentic, Delicious"
So, we where five people taking part at the cooking classes at Lua s kitchen.
The place was very easy to find.
We cooked the suggested meals, and Lua explained every ingredience and the alternative (good for europeans !!) to us. Furthermore, thanks to very communicative guests, we got to know each other very well. While cooking, we chatted on this and that, and Lua explained everything, we wanted to know about vietnamese kitchen, streetfood and lifestyle.
The menu was a chickensalad with cabbage, mango and carrot, a delicious Pho Bo, and a banana-coconut-dessert.
We didn't cook it by our own, but every member had a little task, like chopping onions and other vegetables, making shrimp-chips or chopping the cabbage.-

We love Vietnamese food and wanted to do an activity that the whole family could participate in whilst learning genuine skills we could practice at home. Lua’s Cooking class achieved all of that. She asked us what we’d like to cook beforehand and then showed us step by step how to recreate the dishes we love along with learning basic principles that we could adapt to different ingredients at home. Our two teen boys also enjoyed the experience - and are keen to try these recipes at home - bonus!!! A great way to learn more about the local culture and food and Lua was a fantastic host!

With our fellow student, Laura from Chicago, we put together a lovely lunch of pho, prawn and pork fresh spring rolls with homemade peanut butter dip, and taro pudding.
Highly recommended.

"Espectacular!"
Estuvimos muy a gusto durante la clase, Lua nos trato con mucha cercanía, a pesar de que nosotros a penas hablamos inglés (pero lo entendemos) nos pudimos comunicar muy bien con ella.
Los platos muy ricos, acabamos de volver a España y pronto practicaremos!
Nos vino genial tomar unas horas para desconectar del estrés de la ciudad.
Gracias Lua!!!! Un saludo de Aitana y Mikel!!

"Amazing experience!"
We had an amazing experience in cooking with Lua at her house. We prepared three different dishes that we could choose in advance. She was an excellent teacher, guiding us throughout each step with simple explanations. All the ingredients were of high quality and the result was very tasty.
Not only she gave us good cooking advice, but she also explained where to find ingredients in the local market and what the substitutes were, in case we could not find the right ingredients once back in our country.
We also had a great time talking with Lua about travelling and her country, Vietnam, thereby discovering new aspects of her culture.
At the end of the cooking class, Lua would send us the recipes of the dishes we prepared.
We would strongly recommend taking a cooking class with Lua for an amazing and unique experience in Ho Chi Minh City !

"Amazing"
We had our cooking class a few weeks ago now...and all three of us are still using the recipes! We all really enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend.
Very flexible with recipes as one of my friends is vegetarian and the other vegan! And both were catered for and highly enjoyed!
I just want to say a massive thank you!

This was our first experience in a cooking class. We would like for the class to be more hands on with cooking the main entree. Overall, it was a great experience learning something new and meeting new people.

"The perfect introduction to Vietnamese cooking"
Lua is such a delightful, skilful and creative young woman and cook who in a short 4 hour class is able to share and teach you so much about Vietnamese cooking. Our class was spring rolls, beef and mango salad and a tapioca and banana pudding. We also had an opportunity to fine tune our own fish sauce. Lua works through the whole cooking process with professionalism and wonderful knowledge involving participants in every aspect of the meal preparation and cooking. I would recommend Lua’s classes 100% to anyone with a few hours to spare in HCMC. I now use more lemongrass and garlic in dishes I create myself at home and understand the simplicity and subtlety of Vietnamese cuisine much better. Thank you Lua!

"Great first Cooking-Class-Experience"
This cooking-class with Lua is great. Her apartment is the perfect place to cook. We had summer rolls with prawn and pork, rice cake with prawn and pork and for dessert banana pudding. Everything was delicious and all the ingrediants were fresh from the market. It was great to talk with Lua about her life in Vietnam. We highly recommend this cooking-class. Enjoy!!!

"A tasty cultural experience."
I am so glad I just happen to stumble across Lua’s cooking class on Cookly because it has been a highlight of my journey around Asia. Lua was very welcoming, full of knowledge and experience that engaged us. It didn’t so much feel like your average cooking class, it felt like a family gathering where we were being educated about traditional dishes and the produce as you make and eat them. The food was so fresh, healthy and fulfilling that I’ll definitely be cooking it back home in Melbourne as she sends you the recipes too! I met some great people and had a lot of laughs.

"Awesome"
We did everything from scratch, grating the carrots, taros to chopping the garlic. She showed us patiently the steps to cook the dishes, the things to take note when cooking, and substitute of ingredients if we can’t find it in our hometown. The whole session took about 4hours but it was totally worth the time and money!
The best of all? The dishes turn out better tasting than those we have tried in the restaurants and this was done without msg!
Highly recommended! The trainer was also very friendly and patient to answer our questions. She only take a small group of students, so it is very personalized session.

"Luau cooking class"
On the 25 February we went to Lua’s home for a Vietnamese cooking lesson. We learnt how to make spring rolls, green mango salad and banana pudding the food was amazing and Lua was fantastic sharing different techniques and methods for rolling spring roll. Lua had great ideas about alternative ingredients, for back in Australia if we can’t get Vietnamese ingredients. After we cooked we ate together it was like family thank you Lua, will send you photos of our cooking when we get home lol 😆😂 might not be as good as yours.

"Cooking class in home setting"
Lua was very welcoming and explained a lot about traditional Vietnamese food. I enjoyed making the recipes. The only thing one should be aware is that you don't get to do all the steps. All the participants share as it is in a small kitchen.
Having said that it was very homey and relaxed. Lua also tailored the menu to our preference which was great.

"Cooking class in home setting"
Lua was a good teacher. She loves sharing her knowledge and love of cooking vietnamese food.
The spring rolls were great!
The only downside was that the website didn't have the right address for her so after walking to the address provided by cookly, we had to take a cab to her new place. Overall it was a nice experience.
