Superb cooking class - absolutely 5 stars. - The cooking class is beautifully situated in Tra Que village with the gardens on one side and a small lake on the other.
From the welcome to the wave off on departure, the team at the cooking class are so kind and friendly. Lulu took our 2 hour class, teaching us to make 2 starters and one main, which we ate afterwards. It was really delicious - we couldn’t believe we made it! There was so much we hardly ate for the rest of the day.
Lulu is an excellent teacher, caring and professional.
Thank you to Lulu, Hung and the team. The best thing we did in Hoi An.

Best cooking class in Hoi An! - We very much enjoyed the market and farm tour but the best was the cooking class! Hung and his staff teach you in an easy friendly manner Hoi An classic dishes . There was so much food and all very delicious. We loved that it was a small group of 4 so we all had an opportunity to learn new skills and share dishes. They emailed the recipes we chose so we can make them at home. Thank you for a wonderful day!

A brilliant cooking experience - Hung, our cooking instructor, took us through the food market, informing us of the different types of produce. We then went to his garden and kitchen, where his team showed us how to prepare and cook a fantastic meal. It was an amazing experience. Thankyou Hung and team.

Great provider. Highly recommended - The cooking course was recommended to us by other people and I will recommend it to others. Hung is very friendly and has great recipes and makes a lot of effort to explain the steps. The structure of the cooking course is great. At the beginning we went to the local market where we bought a few ingredients and he told us various things about the individual types of vegetables. We were also able to learn a bit about the locals and found out which dishes the ingredients are needed for. Afterwards we went to his restaurant, which is right next to a vegetable field. He walked with us through the fields and we were able to see how the individual types of vegetables, fruits and herbs are grown and were able to smell and taste some of them. After the tour we went into the kitchen, where we were able to choose different recipes beforehand. The recipes are relatively simple, so that with a few explanations everyone should be able to do them. Many ingredients are also used that you can actually get in any supermarket, so you can easily cook them yourself. Hung wrote down all the recipes down to the smallest detail and then sent them out via email. We had a really lovely day and were able to gain a lot of impressions of Vietnamese cuisine and are glad that we did it through this provider.
