Awesome authentic cooking class with great host - First, our guide Min took us to the local market where we bought all the ingredients for the cooking class. She explained us all the different vegetables fruits and herbs. After our arrival at the cookery her uncle und Min explained us all the steps for farming, where we could also take pictures and videos. A warm foot bath and massage followed. The menu chosen was great. Because we had asked about a local eggplant dish at the market, Min switched part of the fish dish to a delicious vegetarian eggplant dish. Papaya salad was my favourite, but also spring roles, and banh xeo were awesome. Personally I enjoyed the quizzes about the ingredients most, as we learned a lot about how the are used in different meals. Great guide with a lot of humour and knowledge.

Fantastic and enjoyable morning - Had a fantastic morning with Min going to the market and helping in the garden. What an interesting, brilliant and funny experience. The food we cooked was yummy and can’t wait to try at home. I would definitely recommend this as a must in Hoi An

A culinary adventure in a local home - I went as part of an Intrepid tour group and had a wonderful afternoon with Min and her helpers. Min first took us to a local market to buy fresh produce for our meal, then showed us around the farm next door to the restaurant where more of the fresh produce comes from. We had a fun foot and leg massage before cooking four simple and delicious dishes (spring rolls, salad, fish and pancakes) which we then consumed. All round, a wonderful experience with a sweet and charismatic host. Highly recommended!

The most authentic cooking class in Hoi An - With so many cooking classes to choose from in Hoi An, we couldn’t be happier with our choice! Not only was it a private class but it was also a family-owned business. There was a farm tour and great explanations of all the recipes. Everything was delicious too! Don’t miss this experience!

Great day out - This is the second time we have done a cooking class at Tra Que Vegetable Village.
After trying to work out which one to do decided to go to Lemon Basil after being recommended by my friend Vy from past class.
It was a great day spent with Jessica and family learning new recipies and being back in the Vegetable Village. So peaceful.
The foot massage is what is needed after all the walking we have been doing and great job done by ladies and man.
We would highly recommend people to come to lemon basil to do a cooking classas it is done in small groups at various times of the day and very patient with my poor skills.
It was as good as our first time

A wonderful, memorable experience in the beautiful vegetable garden - I had a fantastic afternoon at the vegetable village. The place was so beautiful and peaceful and they show you the traditional way of farming in the garden.
Uyen was a fantastic guide and taught me a lot about life and culture in Vietnam, which was a great and memorable experience to me. After a visit to a local market, we cooked spring rolls, papaya salad, fish and rice pancakes together.
One of my highlights was the bicycle ride through the local rice fields.
Overall this was one of the most authentic experiences in Vietnam so far and I strongly recommend it. It is a great opportunity to escape the busy cities and get some fresh air in the beautiful and quiet vegetable and flower gardens.

Fantastic Cooking and Farm Experience - We had a fun time planting some herbs in the garden, learning about the farm, and then enjoying a massage before cooking some delicious food. I really can't stress enough how Jessica's sense of humor and cleverness made our day really fun - she is a great host!

Authentic cooking class with nice people and the best spring rolls so far - Very great cooking class with incredibly nice people/employees.
The location is a bit hidden, but all the more beautiful because it is surrounded by gardens in which the herbs for the dishes are grown and collected.
What I personally really liked is that it was really about cooking, the approach, the ingredients, etc. and not combined with other frills like many other tours, such as bamboo boat rides.
The cook keeps taking pictures in between, which you also get sent. You also get the recipes sent to you as a PDF afterwards.
Highly recommended!
P.S. The best spring rolls I've had so far.

Cooking and bike ride - Very knowledgeable guide and very good in English. The course took place at the home of the guide's uncle and probably several of the family were involved. We got a guide on organic farming and we also got to test the tools they use,
The overall review is very good and can be warmly recommended.
