Meet at Madam Thu 2 in Hue for a market visit, optional cyclo ride, herbal foot bath, and hands-on cooking class. Guides such as Lisa, Hannah, and Loan teach bun bo Hue, banh nam, and nem ran, followed by a generous meal, recipes, and a certificate.
“I really liked this cooking class with Lisa. She went to cooking school in university and this really shows. I am vegetarian, but she adjusted the class so well for me! It was nice to make some traditional Vietnamese dishes, to learn more about Vietnamese cuisine. I also got a lot of food to take away with me, because I couldn’t finish everything.”
At An Nhien Garden near Hue, Nhien guides you through her family’s ancestral home, an outdoor art collection, and a hands-on class for fig and king oyster mushroom salad and An Nhien rolls. A five-course vegetarian meal follows.

“We had a wonderful day with Rosa, who showed us all the stalls at the local market. She then took us to her home to prepare the dishes. It was a wonderful experience!”
Meet English-speaking host Rosa at a Hue home for tea, ingredient tips, and hands-on preparation of vegan or vegetarian dishes. You’ll cook up to four dishes, eat five prepared local dishes, and share the table with a group of no more than 10.
“Rosa is a good cook and teacher. My wife and I joined another couple and enjoyed making a number of vegan dishes, whilst the other couple made meat and other dishes. We sat down after making each dish to eat it. We were impressed by the taste and quality of our food, and we were pretty full by the end. It was very difficult to find, so being picked up is a good option.”
Spend three hours in a Hue family home with a local English-speaking chef. Learn how to choose ingredients, cook several Vietnamese dishes, taste local flavors, and sit down for the meal you helped make. Morning and afternoon sessions are available.
“Danke fürs tolle Erlebnis! Wir haben in familiärer Atmosphäre drei Gerichte gekocht und zwei weitere probieren dürfen. Das Essen war richtig lecker und so viel, dass wir nicht alles aufessen konnten.”
In a six-person Hue cooking class, a local English-speaking chef such as Duck or Uyen guides you through Bun Bo Hue, Banh Xeo, spring rolls, steamed cakes, fruit, and royal herbal tea. Choose a vegetarian or non-vegetarian menu, then eat your meal in a quiet garden kitchen.

Join English-speaking chef Anh for a 3 to 4-hour Hue food lesson. Shop for fresh ingredients at a local market, learn Vietnamese cooking at his home, and prepare dishes such as lemongrass chicken, mango salad, beef in betel leaf, and garlic morning glory.
“Anh gave us a really special experience. He showed us all the different foods around the market before welcoming us into his home to share his love & passion for Vietnamese cooking. He speaks fluent English and was very patient with our less-than chopping skills! We even learned some knife skills. The food was amazing & the overall experience was one to remember. We were a family with 3 teens. Would highly recommend. Thank you so much Anh.”
