The food was amazing and there was heaps of it so don’t eat before you do the cooking lessons. An excellent tour, highly recommended.

Cooking Vietnamese dishes on a hot summer afternoon. - Chef An was excellent with her cooking instructions and stories of Vietnamese culture. The kitchen was clean and organized, and the ingredients were fresh. We thought we were great home cooks, but we learned a lot from Chef An. We had a great time on a hot summer afternoon learning and cooking Vietnam's iconic dishes. It is time well spent if you love to cook and love to learn different cultural dishes.

Afternoon Exploring and Cooking in Vietnam - My guide/instructor An was wonderful! She is very knowledgeable and welcoming. An also provided great street food recommendations. The class starts with a tour of the Ben Thanh market. I had a great time walking through both the dry and wet markets as An explained everything. We then got a taxi to the cooking class location. I enjoyed a complimentary lemonade (alcohol also available) as An prepared for us to cook. You will cook three classic Vietnamese dishes in this class: fresh spring roll, ban xeo (Vietnamese pancake), and pho. Most things are already chopped for you and you mainly mix/boil/fry and assemble the ingredients. This class is appropriate for all cooking skill levels. The recipes and Vietnamese flavors make this class special. You get to eat your creations after cooking each dish. All delicious! Thank you Provincial Table for a lovely afternoon!

Delicious half day with market tour and cooking class - Amazing combination of a market tour with an introduction to many Vietnamese spices, vegetables and specialities. The cooking class was nearby and the instructor was very thorough and thoughtful - lots of sampling, things I wouldn't have tried at home.

10/10 recommend!! - This class was so amazing! An was absolutely incredible. She took us through a tour of the market where we got to try different coffee and candies, meet some vendors, and learn about local cuisine and produce. Then the class itself was great, super doable for all levels of cooking experience. The food was delicious and I’m so excited to cook it again back home, and test out the other recipes in the book!
