How well did this go recommend to everyone class was great learnt heaps the cooking school was fab
This was a most interesting morning spending time in the local market shopping for and learning about the ingedients, which we cooked in the Cooking Centre and then had for lunch.
The staff were very friendly and we had a jolly time making our recipes!
We even took our Spring Rolls home with us to eat later - crooked and not very perfect in shape as they came out!
Yet we were very proud of our efforts !!
Thank you to the staff at the Cooking Centre for a most enjoyable and fun-filled morning !!
Wishing you all every success at the Hanoi Cooking Centre!
The cooking class was excellent. We were the only members of the class so it was private. We started with a personalized tour of the market where we made several dishes. The instructor was Australian, so there was no language barrier and it was just as described.
This is worth doing. However, the tour started with our guide forgetting about us, so we started late and couldn't do the cyclo and market tour. But once this was sorted a great tour, do NOT eat before you go!
Note from Viator: Please note: In May 2009 the location of the cooking school was changed from the Old Hanoi Restaurant to the Hanoi Cooking Centre. This was done partly because of the criticism of the old location from travelers on Viator.com! So thanks for sharing your feedback, and were very pleased to let you know the location has been changed and is so far receiving much better reviews.
Great fun and interesting, however the tour guide did not speak good enough English to be understood. Actual cooking and learning from the chef was good; although he also did not speak English, and guide's translation was very poor. We would have liked to ask more questions about Vietnamese cooking. Also, we would have liked to be able to choose items to cook. They have three menus, but we just did what they said! As we were the only two in the class, surely they could have customized it. Also, we had to tip the drivers and the chef. This was supposed to be all inclusive, and as Aussies, tipping is not normal. Having to be

We originally booked the morning class and received confirmation by email. Upon arrival in Hanoi, we were informed by the company that the morning class was full and that we would have an afternoon class. After the lesson, we were left waiting for half an hour for our pick up to return to the hotel. All in all very disappointing, and nowhere near as interesting as we thought it would be.
