Hoi An Kookles Met Markttour en Bamboemand Boottocht

We had the best time on our cooking class day. A trip to the local market, a very memorable coconut boat ride with our very enthusiastic paddlers who entertained, and a fab cooking experience. We learnt some key Vietnamese recipes and techniques in a fun and friendly setting and then enjoyed our food with a beer in a lovely relaxed environment. When ready to go we enjoyed a walk through the produce gardens before being taken back to our hotel. Amazing people and experience, really great way to spend a day.

I had a wonderful time at the Mai Home Hoi An cooking class. The day started in the morning with a fascinating tour of the herb garden, where I loved learning the names and seeing what various local plants actually look like up close. When the cooking class began, I got right to work chopping fresh fruits and vegetables, preparing sauces, and sizzled everything up in the pan. I honestly felt like a contestant on MasterChef—it was such a fun and engaging experience! Eating the final dish was the best part; it turned out delicious (huge thanks to the chef, aka me! haha). To top it all off, the session ended with a relaxing coconut oil foot massage. It was a pleasant surprise, but since it was included in the program, I was happy to sit back and enjoy it. The team at Mai Home is incredibly positive, welcoming, and helpful. Our guide, who was also our cooking instructor, spoke excellent English, making the entire class smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Hoi An!

A very good time that starts at the local market for shopping, then sharing Vietnamese cuisine in a superb atmosphere with a wonderful team. A culinary discovery to absolutely experience during a stay.

We had a great experience and Hung was such a nice guy and spent time showing us around the garden before preparing the dishes. We had a great time learning from Hung and cooking together. All other staff just as loveley. Great experience and even suprrlised us with free gifts afterwards. Highly reccomend.

I would recommend this cooking class when you’re in Hoi An. The cooking class included several things, a tour around the village, welcome drinks, foot massage and the cooking class. The guides were really nice & friendly as well giving instructions that were easy tk follow. Our food turned out really well and they were really nice to forward us the recipes. Highly recommend cooking the “fish cooked in claypot”, it’s our favourite dish and will definitely cooking this when we’re back home!

This is an address not to be missed. The people are wonderful and very kind. You have a very good time there.

This activity was a highlight in our recent visit to Vietnam. I would happily do it again and strongly recommend it. Hung was an incredible host, providing seamless door-to-door transport and a fascinating look into local life at the market. After a peaceful coconut boat ride through the foliage, complete with some 'catch-and-release' crab fishing and some high-energy boat spinning, we began the real highlight: the cooking. What sets this tour apart is the ability to customise your menu. We chose Rice Pancake with Pork and Mushrooms, Banana Flower Salad with Green Papaya and Green Mango, Fresh Steamed Rice Rolls with Mushroom and Pork, Caramelised Fish cooked in Claypot and Stir Fried Chicken with Lemongrass and Chilli. So delicious! The fish melted in your mouth. The fresh steamed rice paper was so interesting to prepare (and then eat). The stir fry was full of flavour. The salad complemented the dishes. In fact – all the dishes were delicious! Hung was a master multitasker and instructor; under his guidance, we prepared what was honestly one of the best meals of our entire holiday. Highly recommended!

I booked a cooking class and it was a great experience with the local chefs that runs the restaurant. Thuy was a great teacher, all the ingredients are fresh and good quality. At the end we enjoy the food we cooked. I really recommend if you want to have a cooking experience in vietnam!

We loved the cooking class! It was so much fun, lovely guidance and tasteful meals!

We had a fab time doing the cooking class with our two young girls (two and five). The team were very accomodating of young kids and the food was delish!
