My friend and I did the cooking class today, strangely it was just us two and so we were able to choose two dishes to do each instead of just one. It was fantastic! So interesting and hands on. The dishes were all delicious and interesting and we received a cookbook and a gift at the end! Van is so... More

We were recommended to book a cooking session with Green Bamboo from Neville from Hoi An Food Tour. Van who runs the school is a most gentle and beautiful person with a genuine passion for the food of her country. We were picked up and joined with another couple on their honeymoon. We visited markets and bought food for dishes... More

Very well organised and lovely way to spend a day. Loved that the lesson took ace in Vans house and could pick our own dishes and partake. Had so much beautiful food and went home stuffed. One of my highlights in Vietnam

Very hands on cooking class which is exactly what we were looking for. Van is very friendly and after taking you to the markets to buy some produce, invites you to her house to teach you the Vietnamese style of cooking. We cooked a total of 6 dishes, all of which were delicious and were stuffed at the end from... More

We booked this cooking class before coming to Hoi An. Van was a beautiful lady. She picked us up from our hotel and taught us to cook many dishes with her deep passion. What a great moring with Van!

My partner and I can't recommend this enough, we loved it! Ms van firstly takes us to a local market to collect all the ingredients for our menu. The markets ate great and we didn't get hassled because we were with a local. Afterward we went to mrs vans home to cook with our group, we all chose different things... More

We were picked up from our hotel in the morning, and then went to the local market to get the ingredients for our dishes. As there were only 3 of us, Van suggested we also cooked a salad and a fish dish to even the others out. Great! We got to try numerous fruits and vegetables, and after finishing our... More

Picked up at hotel promptly by Van who took us into the market to explain the local vegetables, herbs and meats and then to her wonderful home to begin the lessons. She caps the class at 6 and a helper is there to wash dishes, assist, etc. so there is a lot of individual attention. Beer and soft drinks served... More

Miss Van is such a beautiful lady. She takes care and provides an exciting adventure into vietnamese cuisine right in her home at Cua Dai beach. She picks you up from your accomodation whisks you away to the main market to purchase your ingredients for your dishes (a selection of 50!) then you head on back to her home for... More
