Amazing Cooking Lesson and Lunch - Lua was wonderful and was great at communicating prior to the visit and during the cooking lesson. She was very friendly and we made a large lunch with a 3 different courses pho, salad, and 3 kinds of bahn xeo (i mentioned the bananas on the table looked good and we made a banana one). My wife and I had an amazing time cooking and eating with Lua and can't wait to try the recipes she sent to us after the lesson.

A truly authentic Vietnamese cooking experience with the loveliest host! - We joined a cooking class with Lua’s Kitchen during our trip to Vietnam, and it was truly one of the highlights of our stay!
The experience started with a visit to a local market near Lua’s home, where we bought all the fresh ingredients for our dishes. Lua explained so much about Vietnamese cuisine, local specialties, and how people shop and cook in their daily lives. The market wasn’t touristy at all — it’s a place locals actually go — and it was such a unique and authentic experience that we would’ve never found on our own.
Back at Lua’s home, we cooked Bánh Xèo, Phở Gà, and Bún Bò Nam Bộ together. Lua told us about the regional differences in Vietnamese food and shared lots of background about traditional cooking methods. We learned a lot — and had a lot of fun!
To finish off, Lua even showed us how to prepare a traditional Vietnamese egg coffee, which was the perfect ending to the class.
Time flew by, and cooking with Lua felt like spending the day with a friend. She’s a wonderful host, incredibly knowledgeable, and made us feel completely at home.
Highly recommend joining a class with Lua — it’s an unforgettable experience!
