This is more than a Vietnamese cooking class — it is a chance to experience everyday local life in the countryside of Hoi An.
You will visit a local market and vegetable garden, meet a local host, discover fresh Vietnamese ingredients and learn how they are used in everyday family cooking.
One of the highlights is making your own Hoi An-style Bánh Mì, learning how to prepare and combine the fresh ingredients for one of Vietnam’s most famous street foods.
Instead of simply watching a cooking demonstration, you will take part from start to finish — choosing ingredients, preparing the food, cooking traditional dishes and enjoying the meal you have created.
The experience is small, personal and hands-on, offering a genuine connection with local food, people and everyday life in Hoi An.
