An incredible time at the cooking class in Tra Que Village! - The experience was truly a feast for the senses. From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in the vibrant colors and aromas of the herb gardens. The market tour was eye-opening, introducing us to exotic ingredients we'd never seen before. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate, making the whole experience both educational and fun. The hands-on cooking class was the highlight – we learned to prepare authentic Vietnamese dishes using fresh, organic ingredients. The small group size allowed for personalized attention, and we left feeling confident in our new culinary skills. Enjoying our self-made lunch in the peaceful garden setting was the perfect end to a memorable day.

Mastering Vietnamese Flavors - What a fantastic day we had in Tra Que Village! This cooking class exceeded our expectations in every way. We started with a scenic bike ride through the countryside, which set the perfect mood for the day ahead. The market tour was fascinating, giving us insight into local life and introducing us to a wide array of Vietnamese herbs and spices. In the gardens, we learned about traditional farming techniques from friendly local farmers. The cooking class itself was a blast our instructor was patient and skilled, guiding us through the preparation of several delicious dishes. We particularly appreciated the focus on using fresh, organic ingredients and the option for vegetarian meals. This experience was not only fun but also gave us a deeper appreciation for Vietnamese cuisine and culture.

Unforgettable flavors 😋 - It was the perfect blend of culture, cuisine, and hands-on learning. The market tour was a sensory overload in the best way possible, introducing us to the vibrant world of Vietnamese ingredients. In the village, we were warmly welcomed by local farmers who shared their knowledge of sustainable farming practices. The cooking class itself was expertly led, with clear instructions that even novice cooks like us could follow. We loved learning about the balance of flavors in Vietnamese cuisine and the importance of fresh herbs. The multi-course meal we prepared was absolutely delicious, and enjoying it in the serene garden setting was magical. This experience was definitely a highlight of our trip to Hoi An!

A fabulous dining experience - We took the 4-hour cooking class with garden visit and preparation of 4 courses and massage at the end. It was fabulous the kids loved it. They enjoyed visiting the vegetable garden to understand the herbs and ingredients that make up Vietnamese cuisine. Mai is very nice, explains well and shows a lot with pedagogy my 10-year-old son understood everything without speaking English. It is a very nice local experience to do without hesitation. And in the end the dishes are delicious

This has 46, 5* reviews for a reason! - As others have said, this was brilliant. We have done cooking courses in Mexico & India & this was far better. The tour of the market, with explanations followed by the tour of the huge garden complex (shared with 27 other properties), was great & set us up well for what followed.
Being able to choose what you wanted to cook from a listing was good & we made 3 starters 1 main, plus served a mix of unusual fruits for dessert
Not the cheapest cooking class we found but we thoroughly enjoyed our time with LuLu who helped us prepare & later eat, a fantastic lunch

Wok this way for culinary delights! - This cooking class was the spice of our trip to Hoi An! The small group size meant we got plenty of personalized attention (no culinary disasters here!). The market tour was a feast for the senses, and learning about the ingredients in the garden was fascinating. We laughed, we chopped, we devoured our delicious creations.
A must-do for an immersive (and hilarious) cultural experience!

Wok and Roll - We stumbled into this cooking class like two peas in a pod - if those peas were completely clueless about Vietnamese cuisine! Conveniently located near Hoi An, Tra Que Village became our culinary playground. From market mayhem to garden giggles, we chopped, diced, and wok-ed our way through the day. Our attempts at rolling spring rolls looked more like abstract art, but hey, it's the taste that counts, right? By the end, we were herb experts (or so we thought) and had enough inside jokes to last a lifetime. Who knew fish sauce could be so funny? A must-do for couples seeking laughs and lemongrass!
