Best cooking class! - Today my husband and I wandered deep into the countryside, following quiet pathways through glowing green rice paddies until we arrived at Mai Home Hoi A for a cooking class. Mai Home is a family-run cooking experience in Trà Quế vegetable village, where fresh herbs and produce are grown using traditional methods and turned into authentic local dishes through hands-on classes guided by passionate local chefs. We dressed in traditional shirts and conical hats, toured the beautiful herb gardens, and picked ingredients straight from the soil before learning to cook a full Vietnamese feast. After happily devouring everything we made, we were treated to the dreamiest herbal foot massage overlooking the garden. This was a wonderful way to spend the day in Hoi An.

Wonderful experience with Hung and Lulu - We had a very good experience. Hung was very knowledgeable and Lulu was a great cooking teacher. The food was really delicious and super fresh, right from the garden outside the cooking school. Absolutely a fantastic way to spend a few hours.

Amazing cooking class - Amazing cooking class! We had the best time today learning how to cook Vietnamese food. The dishes were delicious, couldn't believe we had cooking it ourselves. We had lots of fun during the cooking, the staff were very fun and knowledgeable. Tour around the farm was nice, and massage at the end was the perfect way to finish a fun afternoon. Highly recommend.

Delicious, informative and welcoming - We did the Walk-In cooking class that just went for 3 or so hours. As it was raining and we were not keen on a full day this was a perfect option for us. Just message them on WhatsApp the night before and they will give you the details. Thuy and all the ladies were so amazing and we cooked some delicious food. Come with an appetite! Hard work rewarded with a relaxing shoulder and foot massage to finished with!

Very good experience - It's been a rabble-rousing experience. We have been alone at all times which has allowed us to know better the local culture and enjoy the day with more peace of mind

A Warm, Hands-On Taste of Hoi An - We did the drop-in cooking class and it was one of the highlights of our time in Hoi An. The class was relaxed, well paced, and genuinely fun. Everything was hands-on, clearly explained, and beautifully organized. We learned how to make several classic Vietnamese dishes and walked away feeling confident we could actually recreate them at home. Huge thanks to Lulu, Hung, Mai, and the rest of the wonderful team. Everyone was warm, patient, and upbeat, and they created a space that felt welcoming from the moment we walked in. It felt less like a tour activity and more like being invited into a kitchen by friends. Highly recommended, even if you’re short on time and just want an authentic cooking experience.

a very enjoyable session - I did this class with my teenage son and we both loved it. It was just for the two of us, so it felt like a private class. It started with a tour of the vegetable village, and we heard about different herbs and the dishes they are used in. The person running the tour was amazing and it didn't feel touristy and out of a script. The cooking was fun and the food delicious. We also got a free foot massage at the end (at other places, you need to pay extra for that). Highly recommend.
