Hanoi cooking class

There are several cooking centers in Hanoi, but if you are looking for an authentic Hanoi cooking experience at a traditional home or a tour that is more personal, join us for a Hanoi home cooking adventure!

What to Expect

Doing Hanoi cooking class with us, meet the sweet Hanoian ladies and the host as well will bring you home-cooking experience. This is a great way to learn how authentic Hanoi foods are made with diverse menu options.

Itinerary

Normally, the cooking class starts in the morning and it lasts 5 hours. For those who are willing to go to a local market, we start the tour at 8 am and we will guide you through the local market to buy ingredients for meal preparation.

Upon arrival in a cozy house in the countryside of Hanoi, you will be served local tea before the cooking class in the kitchen where you will feel a true Vietnamese atmosphere. Although it is a modest space (that’s why the maximum is 4 people), it won’t stop us from making a delicious meal. Cooking local dishes yourself is a combination of watching and doing. With the instructor’s patience and skills, you’ll be able to cook Hanoian food that tourists don’t usually get to taste.

The experience will last around 5 hours. You will be able to choose what Hanoi specialties you want to learn how to cook from our standard menu or if you want you can choose specific specialties and customize your meal!

After finishing your meal, we will enjoy dessert and and get gifts from the host.

At the conclusion of the cooking class, written recipes will be available for the dishes that we made so that you’re able to cook on your own in the future. Your experience will be unforgettable.
