A beautiful experience to end my journey - It was a very nice experience. I was finally able to ask everything I would like to know since my stay in Vietnam at the market and then I was allowed to make a delicious sweet and sour soup, fried spring rolls and deep-fried tofu skin with the cook. She could still give me good hints on how to find similar vegetables or spices in Germany and it was really super delicious! Thank you for the nice morning!🙏🏽

Authentic Vietnamese Cooking - From market to table, this cooking experience was unbelievable. Knowledgeable in the Ben Thanh market helped me understand where the food vendors supplied food as well as the section, what to look for when looking for best fruit and vegetables, and suggestions for all the different spices made the experience more enjoyable. I was taught the vegetarian version way to cook spring rolls, salad, braise vegetables, dipping sauces, cutting pineapple, and Vietnamese crepe/pizza (paid extra). It felt like my mom was with me cooking in homeland because all the food was super tasty. I had an absolute feast and I think it was one of the best time I had while I was in Vietnam, helping me connect to my roots/heritage and it is something I will take home with me (along with the certificate, recipe book, and special designed gift). I can't wait to cook when I'm back home!

Fantastic- would do it again - Quy was a fantastic teacher- we met at the market and she introduced/explained various Vietnamese foods and how they were used in cooking. We then made a selection of dishes at her house and shared the meal- great activity!

Best spring rolls ever! - We had a great time with Ms Ngoc Dung and the other chefs of Mai Home. Unfortunately the Ben Thanh market was closed for Tet, but we were still able to learn how to cook a three course meal which was delicious!
