Full description

This is a experience in Hanoi. It is run by Rose Kitchen Hanoi, 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.

thank you to Trevor for a fabulous cooking class + market tour today! he explained things clearly, answered my questions and entertained and brought the whole group together! - please note that for me i was the only vegan in my group (which i wasn’t aware of before) i believe it depends on the time slot and the bookings they receive and i was grateful that there were vegan alternatives for the bun cha meal and the spring rolls we made and my food was cooked and kept separate, potentially something to check on beforehand if needed i am glad i booked this and would recommend it! thank you for th

We had the best time in this class and made some brilliant and super fresh vegan food! Maxie and her sister were brilliant hosts and excellent teachers - not only do we have lots of fun but we also learnt loads! The class is for vegetarians but there was no cross contamination between the vegan/non-vegan food and we made a variety of dishes such as mango salad, fried spring rolls, Bun Cha, and Vietnamese coconut coffee (fully vegan). We also had a brilliant experience in a local market picking up fresh ingredients! We would highly recommend for any vegan/vegetarians wanting an experience that

What an amazing experience. Amazing. We booked a day before and we were so excited for this class. And it exceeded all our expectations. Lisa, our guide/friend/chef was of great help and assistance. She taught us so much and guided us every step of the way. She deserves all the praise and I wish that anyone that books this experience, is with her. You won’t be disappointed. Also, the food was the best food we tried in our 10 days in Vietnam. So fresh. Loved it. 5 stars. 10/10. Thank you Lisa!

We had a very lovely morning with Emy. After a short visit to the market, where we got some ingredients and Emy explained details about the local products, we headed to the kitchen. We cut veggies, rolled spring rolls and grilled some mushrooms and tofu. The food was delicious and afterwards Emy even made us coffee and explained how it's done. All in all, we had a great experience. Just a sidenote for strict vegans/vegetarians: Not everyone in the group was vegetarian and they had alternatives containing meat. Emy took great care making sure the dishes were separated. Still, if you have issues

The price does not cover personal expenses. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Yes, if you say so at booking. Fish sauce is in most dishes, so vegetarian, vegan and shellfish allergies need naming specifically; the guide swaps stalls and dishes. 'Khong cay' means not spicy.

We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
