Description

Step into a real Vietnamese home kitchen and experience everyday life through food. Unlike many cooking classes that focus on famous dishes like Pho or Spring rolls, this experience introduces you to the daily home-cooked meals that Vietnamese families actually eat. Join your host for a short visit to a local neighborhood market, choose fresh ingredients together, and then return to the kitchen to prepare a complete Vietnamese family meal. At the end of the class, sit down together to enjoy the meal just like a Vietnamese family dinner. As a special treat, taste a small glass of homemade Vietnamese rice wine, a traditional drink often shared during family meals.
