Best Cooking Experience - The best experience to hear about local dishes, see the market, hear about Vietnamese tradition, and cook amazing food!!! We wish we had done it earlier to hear the local guide of Hanoi. I recommend Kim’s Kitchen for everyone.

Fred, fab food and great learning experience - Fab time learning about the fresh produce at the market. We then went to the host’s lovely home before getting stuck in making several gorgeous dishes. Great day out. The host and his wife were so warm and friendly.
