Make Typical Vietnamese Food Class

Our menus consist of some of the most popular and authentically Vietnamese dishes. All recipes are prepared using ingredients that can be found in most well stocked Asian grocery stores, so you can easily replicate them in your own kitchen.

Not only do we show you how to cook the dishes but also introduce Vietnamese culture through out the course. We show a short movie that demonstrates traditional Vietnamese kitchen; by explaining the importance of rice and its cultural significance; the different spices, when and how they are used; the market; and of course fish sauce.

The first guest to book may choose from one of these 6 different menus (so book early if you have a special request)
