Full description

This is a 2.5-hour experience in Hoi An. It is run by Vietnam Orange Tour, 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 Hotel pickup and drop-off, English - Speaking chef, Market visit, Basket boat ride and All ingredients for cooking class. It does not cover Drinks and Personal expenses, 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.

Hotel pickup in Hoi An. Vietnam Orange Tour confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Vietnam Orange Tour before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Great experience and well explained cooking class with Ms. Dim. Loved the coconut basket ride on the river before the cooking.

This was an amazing cooking class led by Cherish who taught us how to make vegetarian versions of traditional Vietnamese recipes. We really enjoyed this class, and would highly recommend it if you are looking for an authentic vegetarian cooking class in Hoi An.

Kleine Gruppe mit vielen verschiedenen Gerichten und vegetarischer Option. Am Ende sogar flexibler Weitertransport zu unserer nächsten Aktivität. Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen :)

Vi havde en virkelig hyggelig eftermiddag på vores madlavnings kursus. Vores guide var virkelig sød og god til at forklare om de forskellige råvare, især om hvordan vi kan lave maden der hjemme uden de helt samme ingredienser, så vi lærte virkelig noget. Vi var lidt uheldige med vejret, så vores tur i basket boats blev en del våd. Men den samlede oplevelse var helt perfekt og god valuta for pengene.

Die Bootstour ist schön aber erst der Kochkurs ist das Highlight. Unsere Köchin konnte super auf unsere vegetarischen Bedürfnisse eingehen und schon beim Einkauf auf dem Markt erklären was wofür später ist. Ich würde keine Vietnamreise ohne einen Kochkurs mehr machen. Jetzt weiß man wie man manche Dinge zu essen hat 😂

Der Kochkurs hat viel Spaß gemacht. Wir haben 4 verschiedene Gerichte gekocht und hatten am Ende sehr viel zu essen 😄. Unsere Lehrerin war sehr nett und sympathisch. Mir hat es auch gefallen, dass wir einige Zutaten vorher auf dem Markt eingekauft haben. Einen Stern Abzug gibt es von mir, weil ich es schöner gefunden hätte in einer Gruppe zu sein, wo alle die vegetarischen Gerichte kochen. In unserer Gruppe, waren Vegetarier sowie auch Fleischesser dabei. Da wir extra den vegetarischen Kochkurs gebucht hatten, bin ich davon ausgegangen, dass der gesamte Kurs vegetarisch ist. Sonst aber auf jed

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Hotel pickup in Hoi An. Vietnam Orange Tour confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. The collection window is usually a little wider than a fixed minute, because the driver is working a route around several hotels.
The price does not cover drinks and 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.
The Hoi An old town ticket (a small fee that covers five heritage houses or halls) is included when the listing says so; otherwise it is bought at the entrance and the guide explains which houses to use it on. The old town is closed to motorbikes for most of the day, and My Son is best at opening time before the tour buses.
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.
