Taste Vietnam cuisine through your cooking experience - After cooking your own three dishes, be prepared to enjoy your dishes, in addition to dessert and ice water to rinse it down. The class was vibrant with lots of tourists wanting to learn how to cook dishes of Vietnam. It included a good amount of direct student participation in cooking. Thanks to Chef Amy, who picked us up, gave us a general tour of Ben Thanh Market, and taught us the cooking class with her wonderful assistant.

Do this and you will enjoy every minute! - This was just a brilliant experience from start to finish. Ann was our teacher and she was funny, personable and made everything easy to follow. Alice was the cleaner-upper this time (they take it in turns) and the place was clean (immaculate really). The ingredients were fresh and the meals we made were delicious. We really enjoyed the market trip too.

Fire Dancing in the Kitchen - Such a cool experience! My chef husband loved the teachings and humor An had throughout the entire time. We definitely appreciate how she explained the different veggies & meat at the market. We made Fresh Spring Rolls, Pho Ga and Beef Dancing in Fire. So delicious! Definitely recommend to anyone willing to learn!

Cooking class was fine - The cooking class was fine. Unfortunately, we did not have a full cooking experience, as we did not prepare many ingredients ourselves. In addition, the course was a bit overbooked with too many people. The market tour was a bit fast & not always suitable for the dishes. In the end, however, the dishes tasted very good!
