The market tour will introduce you the local ingredients and purchase a selection of them for your cooking class. For a fun and warmer atmosphere participants cook all together with our Chef but everyone has their own material and ingredients for a better understanding of cooking techniques.
You will discover Vietnamese kitchenware to cook and enjoy a tasty 4 courses meal. MSG and Knorr powders/enhance flavors are of course forbidden! We will adapt the menu to vegetarians or for people with food allergies.
