From arranging the taxi for us from our hotel to her home, walking us across a crazy busy Saigon roundabout, through the market, to explaining and cooking the beautiful food, Lan Anh was a wonderfull host. Friendly and informative, we learnt much about what life in modern Vietnam is really like, and the food was a bonus. Delightful!

Friendly people with good grasp of English. Chi cooked a variety of local dishes that were very tasty and accommodating to our food restrictions (allergies). She, her husband, and her friend happily spoke to us about living in Saigon, the local customs, and the cuisine.

Maia was a fantastic host. We enjoyed every aspect of the experience. Maia took us to a nearby market where we purchased fresh ingredients and interacted with the ladies at the market. We then spent time at Maia's lovely home and met her Mom and nephew. Under Maia's instruction, we cooked and talked like old friends right from the beginning! It was wonderful to sit down at the table with her family and eat Vietnamese food as locals would. We learned a lot more than just cooking as we shared information about our cultures. We left as friends and continue to keep in touch on facebook! A fantastic experience.

This was an exceptionally wonderful experience. Hang is absolutely delightful. The trip through the market was fun and interesting. She gave us each a basket to carry and filled it up with lots of fresh ingredients, while stopping to explain if we had questions. When my daughter said she loved passion fruit, Hang added some to our basket, and took them home to make us a drink with them. She explained every step of each recipe that we prepared in her immaculate home kitchen, as well as sharing family anecdotes. Her daughter came in to help at the end. We sat down to a delicious meal! Highly recommend this!

I highly recommend this Hoi An cooking class with Linh. It was undoubtedly the best Vietnamese food we ate in the whole of Vietnam, on our two week trip there. I had the biggest smile on my face when I had this experience with my best friend and I have the biggest smile on my face now while writing this review, reliving the wonderful day. It's the perfect experience for anyone who is curious about Vietnamese food, culture and cuisine. You will not just leave with your stomachs full but would have learned so much about the people, culture, ingredients and how truly special it is to be invited into a local's home and have them share their heritage with you! Linh picked us up at our hotel, she then shared with us a menu where we could choose any four dishes that we would like to learn to cook. After selecting our dishes we arrived at Hoi An Central market where we were given the beautiful Vietnamese conical hat and basket to begin our shopping adventure. This is a farmers market, where you will mostly find locals buying fresh, seasonal produce. Depending on the dishes we chose, Linh guided us with the ingredients we needed to buy, all while explaining to us where it comes from, its significance in Vietnamese cooking and how to choose the freshest ingredients. We bought fresh herbs, vegetables, meat and spices and even tried some local fruits and shared a Vietnamese coffee before heading to Linh's home. The journey to her home was wonderful, we go to see another side of Hoi An, all while hearing fun stories about Linh and her family. Upon arrival we were greeted by Linh's sister and husband, who offered us a refreshment before we went to her beautiful, professional level kitchen for our Hoi An cooking class. In 2 hours, we prepared four dishes from scratch - a private, hands-on experience, which is suitable for all - beginners, professionals, families, couples and even children. I did the cooking class with my best friend and it was the most unique experience we have had together, we often reminisce about it, it was truly the highlight of our trip! Now coming to the best part, sharing the dishes we helped prepare, undoubtedly the best cao lau and banh xeo in Vietnam. And the grilled lemongrass fish in banana leaves was the most flavorful fish dish I've ever eaten! I cannot wait to re-create it, Linh even shared a recipe book with us, so it will not be difficult. This is an unmissable experience in Hoi An, a must do on every traveler's list. The best Vietnamese cooking class in Hoi An to learn local, traditional dishes from an expert! Thank you so much Linh, this Vietnamese cooking class is truly unforgettable and so memorable!

I loved cooking and chatting with Diep and hanging out with her parents as well. Diep is a lovely person, very easy to talk with. And she did a nice job including me in the preparation of our meal and explaining all the ingredients and preparations. We had so much delicious food! Diep's parents speak less English but were also super kind. Overall a fabulous way to enjoy Danang food and culture.

Our party of 4 was warmly greeted upon our prompt arrival at Lua’s lovely apartment. She had everything perfectly prepared to lead us through a hands on meal preparation and skillfully directed us through the process explaining how and why each part was done. The 5 of us then shared a delightful meal while learning about Lau and her experiences growing up and working in Vietnam. We all were enthralled with her and the experience.Jack, Anne, Carol & Jon - Denver, Colorado & Minneapolis, Minnesota
