Vietnam is finally get more of the recognition it deserves in the
world for its cuisine, with fresh ingredients and imaginative flavors, and one
of the highlights of any trip to Vietnam is the food. Even if you do not expect
to do much Vietnamese cooking, a cooking class is a fun and interesting way to
learn about the local ingredients and how to make some of the popular dishes. In general, most cooking classes are
half-day classes starting with in the morning with a trip to the local market
followed by a cooking demonstration and lunch where you can eat the dishes that
were prepared. They tend to be aimed at casual
tourists, rather than serious chefs, and many tend to be cooking
demonstrations, rather than classes with individual cooking stations. Please inquire
before you book. Also, please keep in mind that some of the smaller, ad-hoc
programs may be more flexible to change the menu or request more interaction,
especially if you arrange your own private lesson for your group.
