Amazing Cooking Class with Jenifer 🤩🤤 - Thank you very much Jenifer for this superb local cooking experience! 🥳
We first made a visit to the market where Jenifer showed us and made us taste or smell different ingredients used in Vietnamese cuisine, especially chilli because she wanted to see us suffer 😈. Despite what she says, she speaks very good English and was able to answer all our questions while remaining in a friendly and playful atmosphere. It was the same during the cooking class during which we were able to cook 4 dishes together: nems, papaya salad, fish dish and pancakes (Banh Xeo). Jenifer even showed us how to ignite a dish! 🔥 In short, everything was delicious in a very good atmosphere and we receive the recipes by email then it was perfect!
The little round boat ride with crab fishing was also fun and refreshing with the sea air. The only downside comes from the fact that to enjoy the small attraction of running the boat quickly you have to pay an extra fee. But the afternoon was well worth the 400k VND (price specific to my hostel)!
Don’t hesitate and come and feast and learn how to cook Vietnamese with Jenifer!

Fantastic cooking class with coconut boat experience! - A brilliant morning tour!! We started with a tour of the market where we tried some herbs and fruit. Then we did a coconut boat trip with some crabbing. Finally we came to the cooking area and cooked 4 delicious dishes! The guide, Tom, was brilliant and we had a fantastic time! There was so much food - we were struggling to finish everything. The whole experience was so much fun and I can't wait to recreate all the food we made with the recipes we were given!

Fantastic cooking class!! - This morning was one of my favourite mornings in Hoi An! The cooking class definitely took the cake - we got to cook Vietnamese pancakes, our own spring rolls, gorgeous seabass with rice and we also had clams. I didn't even have breakfast beforehand and was still stuffed to the brim by the end. Would 100% recommend!

Best Hoi An cooking class in Vietnam - Best cooking class in Hoi An. Had so much fun touring the local market, then off to a coconut boat ride and finally a hands on cooking class. The team of chefs were awesome. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Vietnam.
Thank you again!

Highly recommended - It was a very nice workshop. They took us on a nice tour of the market, a coconut boat ride, and then to prepare the food. Everything was organized perfectly. They adapted our part for vegetarians, and I am sensitive to gluten, and explained exactly what is possible and what is not.
Bottom line - highly recommended.

Great class and fun little boat ride - Such fun! The coconut boats were silly but the enthusiasm of the boat-drivers and the guide made what could have been a silly tourist experience into so much fun. Our guide "One" was the perfect blend of informative, encouraging, and funny. One of the best guides I've had in Vietnam so far.

Nice excursion! - Great family experience! We loved the cooking class and the walk in the baskets. Too bad there is no French guide.
