特拉奎水車烹飪課，含有機械香草園參觀。

Today I experienced an amazing day at this cooking school in a rural village, where meals are prepared using local ingredients with a wonderful guide named Vi. She picked me up at my hotel in the morning, and we arrived at the local market by scooter, where she explained the basic ingredients needed for cooking as well as other special products sold there. She also bought me some types of fruit that I didn’t know before and wanted to try. After that, we moved to the place where they live and where the cooking takes place. I received a welcome drink, and then we went for a walk through the fields where they grow vegetables and herbs. Afterwards, I was given a chef’s hat and we started cooking a four-course menu. Everyone there, including Vi, was incredibly kind and friendly. At the end of the cooking class, I received a certificate and a small gift as a souvenir of this beautiful day. The four-course menu was absolutely delicious, and I will definitely enjoy cooking it again at home. I highly recommend this experience to everyone.

We got a cooking class from Ruby. All the information and instructions were clear, we loved her humor and the food was incredible!

A great experience full of fun and food. Xuan picked us up at our hotel and we bicycled to the market where she explained about the market history and all the different food. A leisurely bicycle to the farm and walk around to see the different herbs. The down to business…. cooking. Our group had a great time, with Xuan including everyone and carefully guiding us all through the process. I'm not a chef but I was very pleased with my creations, learned a lot and had heaps of fun. Thanks, Xuan and the gang.

This was the best cooking class I have ever done! Sun (not sure how to spell it, but it sounds like “soon”) was our guide and was the BEST. She was from the local village of Tra Que, so she was very knowledgeable about the area and local life and cuisine. It included a bike ride through the country and rice fields, 4 dishes, a tour of a small, local food market, and a tour of the Tra Que farm. We were the only 2 in the group, so we had a great, personalized experience. The local garden that we toured was incredible and beautiful. Great way to support a small village and family and get away from some of the main touristy activities like the basket boats. Available vegetarian.

We first spent around 45 minutes in the market learning about the different produce, herbs and spices. After a 15 minute bike ride we arrived at the class, greeted by our Master Chef, who guided us through 5 dishes. It was one of the best, if not the best meals we had in Hoi An (and we were in Hoi An for 3 weeks and had many great meals). Then surprisingly, we were given foot massages after speaking our feet in an herb bath. Unreal. We learned so much and had so much fun, we'd do it again.
