Excellent Vietnamese Cooking Experience with Lisa - Booked a cooking class with Rose’s Kitchen and it was a great experience all round. Hotel pick-up was smooth and on time, which made the day easy from the start. We began with a visit to a local market, which was a real highlight. Lisa explained the ingredients, how locals use them, and what to look for when choosing fresh produce. It felt authentic and gave proper context before we even started cooking. The class itself was very well run. Lisa is knowledgeable, clear in her instructions, and keeps things moving at a good pace. No confusion, no standing around — just hands-on cooking and learning useful techniques you can actually use again. The dishes we made were excellent, full of flavour, and proper Vietnamese food rather than toned-down versions. Overall, a professional, well-organised experience that felt genuine rather than touristy. Highly recommend if you want to understand Vietnamese cooking, not just follow a recipe.

Cultural immersion with a great teacher and an exceptional meal - Maxie, our cooking class teacher and experience host was the most amazing host we could have hoped for on this experience. She took her time to explain the ingredients, talk us through the cooking techniques, show us through examples while communicating the entire time. The ingredients were fresh and the resulting meal was packed with simple flavours that resonated. We especially enjoyed the quick Vietnamese language lessons which helped us engage with market traders. Overall, this was a memorable and highly recommended experience.

The best cooking class in Hanoi with Maxie! - I had an amazing time at Rose Kitchen! A huge thank you to Maxie for being so patient and kind. Even though my English isn't very strong, Maxie made sure I understood everything and felt comfortable throughout the class. It was a wonderful and professional cooking experience that I'll never forget. If you're in Hanoi, you must take a class with Maxie!
