Full description

This is a 2.5-hour experience in Da Nang. It is run by Thao Nguyen Travel Company, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Japanese cooking classes usually build a meal around dashi, the kombu and bonito stock that sits under miso soup, simmered dishes and noodle broths, and then one or two headline dishes: rolled sushi or nigiri, gyoza, tempura, okonomiyaki, or a bento box. Wagashi classes make the seasonal sweets served with tea from sweet bean paste. Most classes run two to three hours in a home kitchen or a small studio, and vegetarian versions replace the bonito with a kombu-shiitake dashi. You eat what you make, and Japanese teachers are precise about technique.

The price covers main chef, Ingredient for cooking class, Unlimited passion juice and Meal with specialties. It does not cover Hotel pickup and drop-off and Other Personal expenses not mention, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Thao Nguyen Travel Company sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Thao Nguyen Travel Company before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

This was the perfect cooking class. It was the least touristy I have ever done. Rose was talented and very kind. It takes place in her family kitchen. Her instructions were easy to follow and I feel like I will have no problem recreating this meal at home. It was truly traditional Vietamese home cooking passed on through generations. Rose's mother is actually selling herbs and vegetables in front of the house. She passed the bean sprouts through the window of the kitchen. That's how fresh everything was. I can't wait to try these recipes out on family and friends at home. Don't hesitate. Book

Repetiría sin duda, la profesora ha sido muy simpática, me ha explicado los platos y lo que más me ha gustado es que son platos que puedes cocinar en casa.
