" I can't believe all the ingredients used in the class were sourced RIGHT next door from their organic farm. "

What I liked: There are all sorts of fresh herbs and fruits growing a feet away from the classroom. You can just taste the love and care that goes into their produce. Not to mention the staff are quirky and lively. They make the experience so much fun!
What to know: Before the class the chef tours you around the farm and teaches you about farming techniques. He/she then goes deep into what each ingredient is used for what. Did you know you can cure coughing by boiling kumquat? It's also great for salad dressing!
Good for: Anyone looking to get the perfect introduction into healthy Vietnamese dishes, THIS class is it! Take a step away from the hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh city and into this tranquil agricultural village. Have a blast cooking & getting your knowledge on!

Great cooking class experience!

We had an amazing experience with Alice. We were a group of 3 adults and 2 children. Everything from the farm tour and harvesting our ingredients to the cooking class itself, eating our delicious creations, and even some of the additional items we bought (such as the reasonably priced cookbook and ingredients to take with us). Alice was wonderful host. Very friendly, patient, skilled and great with the kids. One word of warning for those that do the tour in the late afternoon, wear long sleeves and pants if possible! We were eaten alive by mosquitos during the farm tour portion. Thank you Alice and the HCM cooking class team for one of the best highlights of our trip!

Amazing!!

Had such a wonderful time at this farm cooking class. It is one of the highlights of my trip to Viet Nam. Alice was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide, and I loved learning about the growing methods for mushrooms and crops on the farm. The cooking section was super organised, with perfect mise en place, and I was provided with vegetarian friendly options. I was travelling on my own, and had a great time with the group! Highly recommend for everyone, including solo travellers.

Highly recommend this experience

This alternative take on the Vietnamese cooking course was well worth the hour’s trip by air conditioned minibus to an organic farm outside HCMC. It was fascinating to see and hear about all the fruits and vegetables they grow here - especially the oyster mushrooms. After gathering our produce we made a selection of 4 great dishes, which were delicious. Really enjoyed getting out of the city to the peace of the countryside. Highly recommend this trip. (left hotel at 7.15 am and back at 2.30 pm - on a Sunday)

The three D’s: Delicious, Delightful & Delectable

Having loved Vietnamese food ever since my first trip here over 6 years ago, I thought a cooking class would be the perfect way to spend an afternoon here in Ho Chi Minh. What made this experience even more special was the fact that I got to share it with my mum, learning how to cook all the special family recipes (including crispy prawn spring rolls, pork and papaya salad, chicken pho and I definitely can not forget the cherry on top...the crispy banana spring rolls for dessert). Not only did we get to enjoy our new cooking skills (our chef made us feel like we were some of the best viet cooks around), but we also got to go through the extensive garden at the farm, learning about how each product was used and recycled. We even got to pick our own produce from the garden to use in our cooking, talk about fresh! The trip out to the countryside was also a welcomed haven away from the lively and loud city of HCM. Would definitely recommend for anybody wondering what to do with their time here in Ho Chi Minh. 5/5 stars!

Awesome

We where introduced to the local herbs, vegetables and fruits. Then went into the cooking class. Chef Chey Tan was awesome in explaining the ingredients and instructions. The food was delicious. We didn’t realise it was so easy to cook such great food. Looking forward to taking the experience and cooking at home.
