About this tour

You'll prepare papaya salad, spring rolls, Vietnamese pancakes, fish clay pot and other regional specialities, then eat what you've made. Morning and afternoon sessions available with private transport and an English-speaking chef guiding you throughout.

What to expect
Your guide picks you up and takes you straight into Hoi An's bustling produce market, where you'll select ingredients for the day's menu alongside your chef—expect to handle vegetables, herbs and proteins you might not recognise. The farm visit comes next; you'll actually work in the fields learning crop techniques from the farmer before moving into the kitchen around midday. The cooking class spans two hours with the chef demonstrating techniques station by station, then stepping back so you can prepare each dish. Everything you cook becomes lunch, eaten together at a communal table.
