What to expect
Your morning begins with a ride through Hoi An on a Vespa, stopping at farms and the local market where Chef Vy helps you pick ingredients. Back at the bistro, you'll work through a Vietnamese menu, learning techniques and the story behind each dish. The pace is relaxed—this isn't a rushed demo. You cook, taste, adjust. By lunch you're sitting down to eat what you've actually made, not watching someone else plate it up. Expect flour under your fingernails and genuine hunger by the end.
Good to know
The Vespa ride requires reasonable fitness; spinal issues, pregnancy, or serious heart conditions aren't compatible. Pick-up works within 5km of central Hoi An. English-speaking instruction is standard. Bring comfortable clothes you don't mind staining.
