Getting to know the food is also the great way of getting to know the country. Vietnamese food is healthy, simple to cook and delicious and forms a large part of the culture. This half day tour gives you a hands-on lesson on how to shop and cook authentic Vietnamese food.
The class is held at Old Hanoi - one of the very best local restaurants in Hanoi – it is a culinary institution amongst locals, travelers and expatriates.
The day begins at 9.15am a guided walk around the famous Hang Be Street market, deep in the heart of Hanoi’s Old Quarter. Here we learn more about our ingredients and Vietnamese herbs and spices.
At 10.00am we start our cooking class. A professional chef’s jacket and hat is provided – to give you added confidence. The class is held in small groups to enhance interactivity with the head chef and you will have your own cooking station for your hands-on lesson.
At 12:00 midday we will sit down and enjoy the fruits of our efforts – there are several menus to choose from and each menu consists of 4 dishes to prepare.
