Be prepared to learn how... - Be prepared to learn how to shop in Vietnamese, and get fully involved in preparing the most delicious meal. Aroma arranged our hotel pick up with great communication beforehand and dropped us off near our evening destination after the class. We were an international group of 7 and Aroma kept us all fully involved from the market, to preparation to cooking over the BBQ and woks. The banana leaf salad was delicious, spring rolls too. In fact it was extremely tasty and we had great fun. Well worth adding into your visit as you learn about so much more than just cooking.

Cooking lessons perfect! - Real Vietnamese cooking class with good cooks in a clean, charming and very well appointed place. We loved going shopping at the market, we were able to discover new flavors and have explanations. The course is very well explained, you do everything from start to finish. I recommend 100%!

Amazing cooking class - This class is a must try if you're visiting Hanoi. Hazel took our group through the market to buy fresh ingredients. Hazel was very good at explaining the ingredients and the traditions. The class was very interactive and she made everyone feel included. The food was outstanding and we can't wait to replicate this ourselves.

A fun way to learn about local dishes - The class started with a trip to the market to buy the ingredients that we would cook, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to visit a local food market. The range of vegetables, fruit, noodles for sale was amazing. Hazel was an excellent instructor; she showed us how to use tools and techniques appropriate for each dish and the end results - which we ate for lunch - were delicious.I have to say that it was not a wholly vegan class as we made chicken pho and spring rolls with pork, however Hazel substituted tofu to meet the vegan requirement.

Highly recommended - I loved my cooking class with Wendy! We had so much fun and I learned a lot about both Viet Nam's food and it's culture. And, of course, made and ate a delicious meal. It was just what I wanted.

Great Cooking Class - The vegan cooking class with Gracie was amazing. We got to go to the market and get fresh ingredients and then went back to the villa to cook. Come prepared to eat delicious food and learn more about the culture through food

Wonderful fun and educational tour - Great trip! I particularly loved the market and learning about the different vegetables, fruits, and spices. It was also fun to meet other travelers. Mango was a fantastic tour guide and chef. I almost wish i had done this tour at the beginning of our time in Vietnam and not towards the end as i would have understood the roles of some of the food and beverages better. Would definitely do again.

Lovely teacher, delicious food - shame about the extra charge - Our instructor, Mango, was wonderful. So friendly and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and the group wasn't too big. I would only rate 4 out of 5 as I initially booked onto the Vegan course and was charged more as a result. When there wasn't enough people joining this, I was moved onto the regular meat version of the course. I didn't mind this as it meant I could be with my friend and the food was all separated etc so was fine. Was just upset that I paid £7 extra for the same course, as when taken up with the operator, they told me they couldn't refund the difference. However, overall a great day - and Mango is a wonderful teacher!
