Learn how to roll Pho Cuon !Collected
Lots of people think of Vietnam as just pretty postcards, ladies in pointy hats, and those bicycle taxis.
But guess what? This awesome country is also a total flavor explosion, just waiting for you and your family to dive in!
And what's the best way to do that? A Vietnamese cooking class, of course!
Time for kids and grown-ups to become chefs!
Forget boring lectures!
Here, you learn by having a blast, getting your hands messy in the rice flour (naturally!).
These classes are like a super-fun dip into Vietnamese culture, where food is king (or queen!) and there's as much laughter as there are amazing smells coming from the pot.
You'll discover the secrets of real Vietnamese tastes, learn cool old-school cooking tricks, and, most importantly, find out how super-important sharing meals is in Vietnam.

The tasty tour menu
Market fun
The adventure often kicks off with a super colorful trip to the local market.
Hold on to your hats – it's a real show! It's way more than just grabbing ingredients; it's like jumping into everyday Vietnamese life, a total feast for the kids' senses, and a chance to see the real deal.
Off the beaten path, you'll spot some seriously weird herbs, spices that'll make your nose tingle, and you'll make memories that'll stick with you forever.
Get cooking, artists!
After the market, it's time to create!
With a friendly chef or a local Vietnamese family showing you the ropes, you'll turn into kitchen superstars.
Everyone gets their own station, fresh and colorful ingredients, and then the big adventure begins!
The chef spills all the secrets about each ingredient, shares funny stories, and guides you step-by-step as you make the dishes.
You'll be chopping veggies like a pro, rolling spring rolls without tearing the wrappers (it's an art!), and making pho broth sing. You'll learn, laugh, and totally surprise yourself with how good you are at Vietnamese cooking.
Let's eat!
The best part of the class is definitely the tasting.
Super proud of what you've made, you'll all dig in together, listening to the stories and traditions behind each dish.
And with a delicious egg coffee in hand, you’ll head home with recipes to wow everyone... maybe even impress Grandma!
