We absolutely loved this tour. Very easy explanation of how to make Vietnamese food, beautiful flavours and everyone so knowledgeable about the food, herbs and mushrooms. Highly recommended

I had a very nice and interesting day with chef Linh, I definitely recommend this cooking class for those seeking to learn more about Vietnamese cuisine 👍🙂 Visiting the farm and picking ingredients at the start of the day is a great way to learn more about some of the typical vegetables of Vietnamese cuisine. The day's cooking then flows smoothly thanks to the good organization and teaching skills of Chef Linh, who is there to guide you from start to finish. And, last but not least, cooked dishes are very good 🥙✨

We loved this experience/cooking class. Despite the longish commute from District 1 in heavy morning traffic (90mins), we loved learning so much about Vietnamese Food, ingredients and how to prepare and cook. Having the opportunity to pick and choose all your fresh ingredients from their own farm is also special. The company is owned by a chef who owns restaurants in Melbourne, he is passionate about training more Vietnamese chefs, and we were impressed by all the staff and local chef Daisy. We have a whole new appreciation of Vietnamese food, and would highly recommend this to anyone who is considering a cooking class in HCMC.

WOW, this was so much more of an incredible experience than I ever thought it would be! My tour guide, Linh, was funny, thoughtful, and so knowledgeable. Because he knew my interest in herbal medicine, he made sure to spend extra time teaching me about the plants and their medicinal properties. The cooking was SO FUN, and the food was incredibly filling. I have many dietary restrictions (gluten free , dairy free) and they accommodated every request to make sure I was able to be without worry! The mushroom growth process was fascinating , and I can tell this cooking school and farm is filled with love and passion to make the world a better place!

Best day, authentic, fun and delicious! Alice was our amazing guide, helping us create very impressive results. She is also great fun and engaged with each of us. Rookie mistake, we had breakfast prior to pick up. Don’t, there is so much food. Recommend this day unreservedly.

We had a fabulous half day cooking class, lead by the wonderful, knowledgeable and bubbly Alice. We were picked up exactly on time from our accommodation and drove out to the farm. Alice took us through the garden and we picked the vegetables and herbs to be used in our cooking. We made delicious meals, Alice gave clear instructions and a lot of laughs. Highly recommend this day out to learn more about Vietnamese cuisine and ingredients.

I really enjoyed this class. It was a long excursion since the organic farm and class are 1.5 hours outside the city, but I found it worth the time. After a tour of the farm we picked fresh vegetables and mushrooms from the gardens and then prepared the dishes in a lovely covered outdoor cooking space. They did a great job accommodating my gluten free status, and another participant's veganism. I look forward to using the techniques to make Vietnamese food at home.

From the pick up to drop off this was a great experience. Highly recommend taking the time to travel out and visit the farm kitchen. Alice our guide/chef was charming, well informed and talked us through cooking our lunch - which was lovely. Pay for the small group - worth the personal service.

An experience not to be missed ! We intended to follow up cooking classes during Lunar New Year celebrations. It was not easy to find one operative cooking class and fortunately, we have been able to book Chef Tan Farm to table class. It was fantastic ! They first picked us up at our hotel by mini van. Our guide, who by chance was our chef introduced himself along with the 1/2 day planning. His name was Linh. Time to meet our class mates for about a 45 minute drive to the outskirts of HCM city. We experienced first an active herb selection in the organic garden. Every single plant we would use was explained to us by Linh and we got to select some for our own cooking use. Ginger, lemongrass, mustard leaves, organic mushrooms… Then, Linh introduced us to our cooking burners and tools. The rest is yours to follow according to the 3 course meal day menu. (One of our mates had already chosen on line her specific cooking request and could work on an A la carte lesson; great). My friend and I followed the regular class and Linh was very clear, professional and fun!!! A great experience not to be missed at all!!! We enjoyed eating every single dish we prepared . Thank you !

The HCM cooking class was a wonderful, authentic Vietnamese experience. Aura picked us up from our doorstep and took us to the farm. At the farm while Aura explained to us the benefits of each of the plants and herbs, we plucked the vegetables and herbs we would need for cooking. The cooking session was fun and informative. A story was woven around the ingredients for each sauce and as a result it is impossible to forget what went into the sauces! There was so much we learnt not just about Vietnamese food, but also about the Vietnamese people. The recipes were simple but the results were outstanding - both for experienced cooks and for novices! At the end of the session we were awarded certificates and then dropped back to our doorstep. The experience was memorable and I would highly recommend it to one and all! Indrani Lahiri

Great experience! Would recommend it specially if you enjoy gardening and fresh ingredients. Totally fam friendly if you decide to book this with kids

This was a great experience from beginning to end, It was very informative not just about Vietnamese cooking but also about the ingredients in the fields which go to make the food so delicious, We enjoyed the trip out to to countryside with our small group, the amazing authentic market visit, the foraging on the organic farm and then the cooking experience itself. It was simple and easy to follow and very well organised. My husband who is not a cook, was dubious before we set off but had a very enjoyable day. Thank you Alice and HCM Cooking

Alice was amazing and so enthusiastic really made the whole cooking class feel exciting and worthwhile. Chef Tan’s recipes as well were so fun and not dangerous to make and tasted delicious. I also appreciated chef Tan coming out and greeting the guests and give inspiring words to hear.

Aura is our guide and chef throughout the cooking class. She’s super friendly and knowledgeable. She showed us around the farm with detailed explanations of the plants, animals and ingredients. Back in the kitchen, she guided us through the cooking process of four dishes with fun and easy to follow instructions. We enjoyed the cooking and the dishes a lot! It’s highly recommended when you’re in HCMC!

This was a nice escape from the hectic city life to see organic food thrive in one of the more difficult places to grow food at one point. The staff speak fluent English, everyone's so friendly. It was exciting that I finally learned how to make some Vietnamese food taste authentic! The mushroom growing space was super cool too!
