This Vietnamese cooking class starts where Hanoi cooks start: at Ngoc Ha market. Your guide walks you past seasonal fruit, herbs, spices and fresh produce and explains how they come together in a northern Vietnamese meal. Then you move to a family kitchen with a garden, where a local home chef teaches you basic knife skills and prep techniques and you cook four dishes from scratch.
You pick your menu from a list of Hanoi favourites, such as pho, crispy nem ran spring rolls, banh xeo pancakes or cha ca grilled fish, with a salad to start and a sweet soup to finish. The class ends at the family table, where you eat what you made with your hosts and the rest of the group, a glass of homemade wine in hand. It suits food lovers, families and first-time visitors who want to understand Hanoi through its kitchen.
A guided walk through the local wet market: seasonal fruit, herbs, spices and produce, and the vendors who sell them.
Drinks and light snacks in a home kitchen with a garden, and a look at the menu you chose.
Cook a salad, two main dishes and a dessert from scratch with a local home chef, using fresh ingredients like the ones you saw at the market.
Eat what you cooked at the family table with your hosts and fellow travellers.
We pick you up at your hotel in the Hanoi Old Quarter and take you to Ngoc Ha market, then back to your hotel after the meal. When you book, send your hotel name and address and a WhatsApp, Zalo or LINE number; we confirm the pickup time by chat or email.
