Local family cooking class · Cam Thanh village
A home-style class in Cam Thanh Coconut Village: an English-speaking chef, four local dishes such as pancakes and spring rolls, then a shared meal with everyone who cooked. Pick it if you want the cooking without a boat or a market, and a relaxed table at the end.
You make your own way to the meeting point in Cam Thanh Village, as hotel pickup is not part of this class. Day classes start at 10:15am and 4:15pm, per the listing, and move on together to a kitchen behind a quiet lake. There is also an evening class at 6pm inside Tra Que Herbs Garden. The provider reconfirms the time and the meeting point, so leave your WhatsApp contact when you book. Plan on 2.5 to 3.5 hours. It is a group class, shared with other guests.
It opens with a welcome drink and a short rest at the restaurant. Then your chef takes you through 4 local dishes, step by step. The listing names pancakes and spring rolls; guests also mention banh xeo, fresh rolls and stir-fried morning glory with garlic. When everyone is done you sit down together, taste each other's cooking and talk. One guest mentions getting the recipes at the end. The listing notes that the schedule and menu can change a little, and vegan and vegetarian options are available on request when you book.
Included: the English-speaking chef, the welcome tea, all the ingredients and the lunch or dinner you cook. Not included: hotel pickup and drop-off, drinks and personal expenses. The listing marks the class as not suitable for people with mobility impairments, and pets are not allowed. A friendly tip: book the 10:15am class and the meal is your lunch, or one of the later classes and it is your dinner.

★★★★★Myself and my partner enjoyed an evening of cooking lessons and delicious food with Ninh. We made banh xeo, spring rolls, fresh rolls and stir fried morning glory with garlic. The recipes were easy to follow and delicious [...] Would highly recommend if you enjoy local cuisine and want to learn to make it yourself.
★★★★★This cooking class was so much fun! There was a variety of food and it was so delicious and easy to make. I was part of only a 6-person group, so the size of the group was perfect. The instructor, Oanh, was hilarious and very patient. Highly recommended this cooking class.
★★★★★My husband, 13 year old son and I did a last minute cooking class and we were so glad we did!! Our host, Swan, was really sweet and patient with us. She explained how to make our 4 courses, demonstrated and also took some beautiful photos and videos. There was SO much delicious food that could easily be replicated back at home.
★★★★★Really enjoyed our cooking class with Han! He was a great teacher and the food was very yummy! Great value for money I would recommend!
