Cook five Vietnamese classics, shop Hanoi’s local market, and enjoy your meal with rice vodka in this friendly 3-hour class.
“This activity is definitely intended for two people as you cook with a partner. It would also be fun to go with a group because everyone helps to cook the meal. Our instructor/ guide was incredibly friendly, helpful and spoke good English. The food turned out delicious and there was lots. Only thing I’d change is that lots was done for us, such as cooking the bbq pork, but we were still very involved. I really liked that the group was small, there were six people in our group and we were given specific instructions and shown exactly how to do everything. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. :)”

“A fun trip on the boats and a great cooking class, clear, easy and received the PDF of recipes. Learnt a few tips and tricks which are always appreciated. Lily was a great guide and chef and catered very well to the variety of tastes. The market tour before hand was interesting and we also picked up some snacks, spices and sauces (had limit to what we could eat or take home.) The meat and seafood sections were very good, and Lily was conscious of people who may not want to go through (well done). We did the boat tour (a bit of fun), first then the market, cooking class…”

We then headed to the activity location and Lily showed us how to make beautiful lanterns, and we can’t wait to take these home as souvenirs of our time!
