Cooking school and farm experience - What a great tour! Zan was a wonderful guide and chef and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the farm from him. Then we got down to business and cooked four dishes that were delicious.
I was the only participant on the tour that morning and I definitely felt like I was getting a private one on one cooking lesson. Fantastic experience and a great way to spend a morning in Ho Chi Minh City!

Great farm to table cooking experience - Great experience! They come get you, then you tour the farm, have everything ready for cooking, easy to follow instructions (and nice photos too). We had Chef Zan who was excellent! Would recommend :)

Cooking class with Zan - A fun and informative experience resulting in a delicious lunch! This is also a great way to get out of the city and experience an organic farm in the countryside about 45 minutes from Saigon. My husband and I were the only ones there and got a private lesson with Zan, who was very caring and informative. We toured the garden, picked fresh vegetables, herbs, and peanuts, and learned about the culinary and medicinal properties of the produce. Then we used the items we had harvested to prepare prawn spring rolls, BBQ pork with a noodle and veggie salad, stir fried chicken, and banana rolls with coconut ice cream. The cooking was completely hands-on with close supervision. Pickup and drop-off were arranged by Zan and were completely seamless. Facilities are beautiful and clean. A wonderful end to our trip.

Organic farm to Table, first class experience - Great experience on an organic farm about 90 minutes south of downtown Ho Ch Minh.
Zan really cared to make my experience memorable.
Firstly an amazing education of the gardens and we picked all the ingredients for our cooking class. Learnt so much much, like what determines the heat of chili and how to grow oyster mushrooms. So much to absorb. After a short snack of fresh fruit and cashews from their farm we started.
I won’t be a spoiler but we cooked an appetizer, two mains and a dessert with lots of marinades, dressings and dipping sauces.
Liked it so much bought the cook book and cashews.
A great morning. Be prepared for a long drive due to traffic.
Well done Zan!!

A Must for Foodies! - Definitely recommended! We were taken to their garden to gather the ingredients and to learn more about some local herbs and fruits. Then, Chef Zan taught us the basics of Vietnamese cuisine and guided on how to prepare fresh and delicious dishes.

Amazing cooking class - This was a favorite part of our 2 week Vietnam trip. Alice was our chef and guide. She was amazing. It was a totally private experience with just our family. Our children ages 8, 6 & 4 loved picking the vegetables and herbs we were going to cooking with. Alice was an amazing chef and such a joy to be with all day. She helped our 4 year old cook while 2 other team members helped our other children so my husband and I could enjoy the cooking class as well. The food we made was delicious and we learned a lot. The kids were so proud they cooked their own food. We also did the cui chi tunnels as part of our tour. Alice turned from chef to amazing tour guide and gave us a very informative tour of the war remnants that was appropriate for all ages. I highly recommend this tour for families. It was such a special experience and truly the cooking class your dream of for your Vietnam vacation.

Organic cooking fun for the family! - We did a full day of tours with Alice as our guide and chef. We were picked up on time at our hotel and after arriving and having some welcome drinks we went out to the farm to pick our organic veg and spices. Then we headed inside to cook our lunch for about 3hrs. It was very personalized and they can do vegetarian dishes if needed. We went with our teenager and nearly teenager boys and they loved the cooking experience. Alice then took us around the Cu Chi tunnels which are only 15 minutes away from the farm to make it a special and memorable and very full day!

Fantastic and educational course in cooking - We have a high school class who travelled to Ho Chi Minh City to learn about nature and culture in Vietnam. We experienced both nature and culture in Chef Tan's cooking class. We were thoroughly introduced to the food culture and how to use more fresh ingredients in the Vietnamese cuisine. The students had a great experience and were very proud to be able to make so many tasty dishes in a relatively short time. It was also a great experience to harvest its own raw material in the organic garden and hear about Chef Tans career and visions for the role of food in the family and society.

Gastronomy at its best - Couldn't be better!!
sincerely
I was informed from the moment I booked of the details of my pickup and everything worked on the dot
In the farm -organic 100%- a large variety of herbs, fruit and vegetables is grown.
Having the chance to hand pick was awesome
All the dishes delicious
Photos of every step of the procedure were taken by the most friendly photographer
But what made the trip unique was the shiny presence of Alice, my guide/chef for the day.. cheerful and full of useful information
A day to remember
Thank you all!!
