About

First a trip to the market to purchase all fresh ingredients. Then, we board on our river boat for a relaxing 30-minute ride to Thuan Tinh Island, a gem hidden away from the downtown hustle.

To reach your destination, we take a row boat ride through the water coconut trees. We then walk through the gardens to our open-air cooking class overlooking the water coconut trees and river. Our chefs will show you how to make Vietnamese food while you enjoy the cool breeze and peaceful setting.

Our morning class will be able to experience the Central Market at its busiest time of the day. You have a wide range of products to select from. If you're an early bird, this is the class for you!

"Brilliant"

Chef Tom was absolutely fantastic. The whole family loved everything about the day and we can’t wait to try the recipes at home.

"Excellent introduction to traditional Vietnamese cooking"

We learnt how to cook four dishes, the quality of the ingredients was outstanding, the dishes incredible. We had a great feed and we were so full, we missed our evening meal.

"Great class with Nih! Had a fun time."

Had a fun time on this cooking class with Nhi! We made 4 delicious Vietnamese dishes that were fresh and healthy. Nhi is also full of enthusiasm and energy when teaching. I have finally learnt how to make fresh spring rolls! And will certainly be cooking the recipes at home. The class was held at an open air location outside of busy Hoi An. Also enjoyed visiting the food market and seeing where the food comes from. Nhi certainly has an eye for picking good, fresh produce! The boat trip was a random, but nice touch too.

"Must participate attraction!"

This was the best spent time in Hoi An. Very good contact and flexibility w.r.t. pickup and drop off. Interesting shopping on local market, with few unexpected information. The cooking class itself was conducted expertly. Just right amount of preparation (cutting etc.) was done for us, so we could focus on important parts of meal preparations and cooking. The result was very tasty! Definitely recommended!
