About

Visit Hoi An’s colorful market, and experience the amazing sights, sounds and aromas of this busy market. We will have the opportunity to interact with the local sellers and learn about all the ingredients to be used in the cooking lesson later.

We board the Red Bridge boat for a leisurely cruise along the Hoi An River to the Red Bridge Cooking School. This is a chance to view local river life, so make sure your camera is handy.

On arrival, we explore the cooking school’s herb garden, before learning about some of Hoi An’s and Vietnam’s well-known dishes. The cooking lesson runs about 2 hours: the Red Bridge chefs first demonstrate each dish before we prepare the same dish ourselves. Included in the class is a brief introduction to Vietnamese food carving for plate decoration. After the lesson, we sit down and eat what we have cooked.

Bring your swimsuit and after the cooking tour has finished relax and enjoy free use of our 20-metre swimming pool, towels and showers provided.

3 different welcome drinks (drinking water / local beer / soft drinks / juice)
Local English speaking tour guide and chef.
Boat trip.
Cooking demonstration and lunch.
All recipes and notes.
Transfer from Red Bridge Cooking School to central Hoi An.

"Enjoyable and informative"

We had a great morning learning about the traditional Vietnamese food ingredients and where to buy them in the market. We prepared the food step by step with as much help as we needed. The food was delicious and I do very little cooking normally. The location and quality of the environment were excellent. The staff were helpful and entertaining! Well worth doing.

"Super!"

Best Cooking-Class ever!

"Friendly stuff, interesting Information and good dishes"

Its a good and funny experience, but its not too special, most of the cooking classes are almost the same activities and prices.

"Very enjoyable and professionally run!"

Our guide and Chef Sang was most entertaining. The food was simple to prepare and very tasty!

"Simply A Mazing"

What a very comprehensive experience, getting taken through the markets was really informative although felt a bit rushed. The ride on the river to the class was really enjoyable but the class itself was incredible - the chef was a true entertainer and very good at inspiring his students. The class was run very efficiently but you certainly didn't have time to think too long or muck around. The food was simple but yummy, and then after we'd already eaten heaps we sat down to a full on lunch. Nice to meet other 'cooks' over lunch. Highly recommended although I would book directly with Red Bridge as Cookly were more expensive as they are a 3rd party. Can't wait to try out all the recipes.
