We had an amazing time learning how to make a four course vietnamese meal! Chef Quan and Lily were super supportive, patient and witty. We joked around while we did the prep. It was quite impressive to see all this dishes come together within such a short time. Granted, we did not really prepare the Pho broth from scratch but everything else we pretty much did! I wouid highly recommend this course to anyone interested in Vietnamese cuisine! Please carry on the good work chefs!!Our pick up and drop off servive was spot on as well. Couldn't make it any easoer. A great value.! You learn and you 'earn' a four course meal --all for a very modest sign-up fee.

Everything was perfect, with fresh produce and in very small committee as at home.
Our children also loved the course, Lyly explains really well, and it is a real treat. We're leaving with the menus to try at home. The course is very well done, we make 3 courses and we eat them, all in 2 hours and we do not see time pass. We really loved this moment of sharing.

Our cooking instructor was so friendly, wonderful, and accommodating. We had to switch our class time due to a schedule error and felt so bad about requesting a different time, but our instructor shifted her schedule to make it work! We are so happy she did because it was a great cooking class experience. The banh xeo, pho, and egg rolls we made were delicious. Especially the egg roll as it was wrapped with a lattice style rice paper. I had been meaning to learn how to make the sweet and spicy fish sauce and her recipe was fantastic! Highly recommend this experience if you are interested in just the cooking class without the basket boat cruise. They offer both :)

Informative, interesting, and so much fun!! I highly recommend this! Sure the basket boats are touristy but still very worth experiencing. We made 4 different recipes and were so full we couldn’t finish!! Also we used and made 3 different types of rice paper- even using the grinding stone used before there was electricity. Very interesting!! And clean comfortable environment. A must do!!

Very enjoyable experience. Chef was good to work with and setup was well laid out. The food all came out well and when we went to a restaurant a few days later i was able to say that i could have cooked better after my lessons.

Great experience and very tasty food. Lily made the entire process a breeze. Location is lovely too, right beside one of the many rivers. We made 4 dishes, plus a really yum dipping sauce. Would recommend for a chill cooking experience and tasty meal

This was the perfect kind of cooking class! Our instructor (LiLi?) was terrific! It was completely hands-on and we prepared 4 delicious dishes. We loved the outdoor setting. We had a plane to catch after the cooking class, and they were very accommodating in ensuring we left on time. I highly recommend this class, if you want to learn how to cook these popular Vietnamese dishes in a beautiful outdoor setting.

Really enjoyed our cooking class, I would highly recommend. Lily was very good at running the class and showed us how to make a number of dishes and gave us a cook book to take away at the end. Lovely family run cooking school in a nice location.

What a terrific experience! I am by far the world's worst cook yet Lilly was so patient and helpful and made me feel like I knew what I was doing 😂
My wife and I highly recommend this cooking class, the food is amazing (even I couldn't mess it up!) all in an authentic setting.
When in Hoi An, do yourself a favour and book a class, you won't be disappointed.

Lily our host was lovely, the outdoor kitchen was clean and accommodating to our needs. The cooking processes were easy to follow and the freshness of the food had amazing results at the end class. You got to sit down after cooking to enjoy your creations which were delicious. The class also included travel to and from the kitchen which made it easy to attend the activity. It was a great experience!

Hi I am interested in the cooking class but I will be going alone. Do you accept 1pax?
Written 14 January 2024
Hi, Yes they do, we chose this one as there was no market visit or boat ride or crab catching, to fill in the time, just cooking various dishes which was what we wanted.

Hi, couple questions 1) can we bring a two years old baby with us? there is not infant option in product page to book. 2) we live between Hoi An and Da Nang, should we arrange our own travel to meeting point? Thanks
Written 7 April 2023
Hi Carol,
The class is 4 hours or so and there is not a lot there to do besides cook and listen to the instructor. If you have something to keep the child occupied or if the child is exceptionally well behaved...maybe?
We had to get ourselves to the meeting point and I assume everyone else should as well. The class is outside of town but it begins with a trip through the Hoi An market.
The class room is also semi-outside and not easily temperature controlled, if this makes a difference as to whether or not you bring a child. It's a big pavilion with a roof, but no walls, except in certain spots.
