About

Come and discover this unique and healthy cooking class. Not only will we teach you how to cook but you will also learn how to use food as medicine and discover Vietnamese food culture. Vietnamese food is one of the healthiest cuisines in the world.

Our class is held in the most beautiful agricultural village where you will see our Vietnamese Medicine Garden with many different kinds of herbs, spices and vegetables for you to select from. Visiting our mushroom house will also give you the opportunity to discover how to grow them and experience what it is like to be a Vietnamese farmer. Finally our professional chef will show you how easy it is to prepare delicious healthy food using these ingredients during a hands-on cooking class.

Your time in the Agricultural Village is a great chance to escape the hustle and bustle of busy HCM city where you will replace the sound of bike and car horns with the peaceful sounds of cows, birds, ducks, frogs and other inhabitants of our organic farmland.

" I can't believe all the ingredients used in the class were sourced RIGHT next door from their organic farm. "

What I liked: There are all sorts of fresh herbs and fruits growing a feet away from the classroom. You can just taste the love and care that goes into their produce. Not to mention the staff are quirky and lively. They make the experience so much fun!
What to know: Before the class the chef tours you around the farm and teaches you about farming techniques. He/she then goes deep into what each ingredient is used for what. Did you know you can cure coughing by boiling kumquat? It's also great for salad dressing!
Good for: Anyone looking to get the perfect introduction into healthy Vietnamese dishes, THIS class is it! Take a step away from the hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh city and into this tranquil agricultural village. Have a blast cooking & getting your knowledge on!

"Fun and delicious!"

Great experience with personalized service Aura was very knowledgeable and a talented chef. We enjoyed the farm walk and gathering ingredients and we learnt some great recipes!

"I can confidently cook Vietnamese!"

I love Vietnamese dishes and was surprised to learn how quick, easy, and simple the recipes were. Our 7-year-old daughter also did great with her own cooking station, and I think will be spending more time in the kitchen helping cook. We bought cookbook and SIX bags of the delicious garlic chili cashews as gifts. It's also nice they take some candid photos along the way for you to have as well. Would definitely recommend. The 60-90 min drive makes for a good nap opportunity to recharge in between adventures.

"Excellent!"

I got what I wanted, but I want to learn more in the future Thank you, Chef Alice.

"Great cooking class experience!"

We had an amazing experience with Alice. We were a group of 3 adults and 2 children. Everything from the farm tour and harvesting our ingredients to the cooking class itself, eating our delicious creations, and even some of the additional items we bought (such as the reasonably priced cookbook and ingredients to take with us). Alice was wonderful host. Very friendly, patient, skilled and great with the kids. One word of warning for those that do the tour in the late afternoon, wear long sleeves and pants if possible! We were eaten alive by mosquitos during the farm tour portion. Thank you Alice and the HCM cooking class team for one of the best highlights of our trip!

"Amazing!!"

Had such a wonderful time at this farm cooking class. It is one of the highlights of my trip to Viet Nam. Alice was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide, and I loved learning about the growing methods for mushrooms and crops on the farm. The cooking section was super organised, with perfect mise en place, and I was provided with vegetarian friendly options. I was travelling on my own, and had a great time with the group! Highly recommend for everyone, including solo travellers.
