The best cooking class! - Had such a fun evening with our group at Rose Kitchen! Tour starts with a visit to a local market to learn about unique ingredients native to the region and pick up items for our dinner. Then the team teaches you how to make local dishes (very easy even for beginner cooks), and the food turns out delicious!

Fun experience - Really had a great time here! The lesson was fun and our leader was great at explaining the steps. Accommodated my food allergy, so that I could try everything without having to miss out. Also sent a recipe book after so we could make the dishes again. Did it as a solo traveller, but met some interesting people in the group. Don’t hesitate and book!

Amazing cooking class - The whole trip was amazing! We started by going to the market and our guide Linh told us about the food we were buying. Then we went to the kitchen which was very nice. We got to get really hands on with the food and our guide told us about why the food was made. Then we sat at the table and ate the amazing food we just cooked. Overall amazing cooking class!!

Best Tour in Vietnam - You must take the time to experience this cooking class, especially with Wendy. This was my absolute favorite tour that I had in my three weeks in Vietnam. Going to the market to purchase ingredients, participating in the prep and cooking and finally the tasting…amazing! But what really makes this experience perfect was Wendy, she is such a fun, funny and really brings the vibe to another level.

Great Fun - Gracie our tour guide, shopper and chef was amazing. Busy afternoon and a lot of fun from shopping at the local market for our food and bringing it back to a lovely clean villa to cook. Making Spring rolls was my favourite. We finished off with the best coconut coffee! We had to leave slightly early to make our flight and Gracie went over and above to organise a taxi for us. Would recommend this cooking school.

Market and cooking class - Hazel was our cultural storyteller and she was amazing! From going to the market to prepping our meals and then eating our made meals was such a great experience. We really appreciated her storytelling and learning all the historical and cultural tidbits of Hanoi. If you get the chance, you won’t regret this experience!

Fun and delicious cooking class! - My husband and I had a great time learning from our guide Aroma about the Vietnamese food! We went to a market first which was really neat to see all the different kinds of fruits and vegetables there are. Then we got to make some delicious Vietnamese dishes, like spring rolls, banana blossom salad, grilled pork belly and pork patties (bun cha), and finished off with egg coffee and fruit. Highly recommend!
