What to expect

After being picked up from your hotel, enjoy a short drive to Kim’s home kitchen in the old quarter for an authentic Vietnamese cooking class in Hanoi. Begin your experience with a guided walk to a nearby local market, Ngọc Hà, where you’ll learn about Vietnamese herbs, vegetables, fresh produce, and everyday shopping culture, before returning to the kitchen to cook. Join the Kims in their home kitchen for a 2-hour hands-on Hanoi cooking class, where you’ll learn traditional Vietnamese cooking techniques and prepare the same dishes they grew up eating - fresh, comforting, and full of flavor.

During your hands-on cooking class in Hanoi, you will learn to make 3–4 Vietnamese dishes from scratch, including an appetizer, a main course, and traditional Vietnamese egg coffee. Explore classic Vietnamese flavors using fresh, locally sourced ingredients while learning about family meals, food traditions, and daily life in Vietnam. Hear personal stories and gain cultural insights as you cook together. After the class, sit down to enjoy the meal you helped prepare, served with a tasting of homemade Vietnamese rice wine and a glass of beer or a soft drink.
