Experience Details

The unique aspect of this cooking class is that it is taught by my mother, who has over 40 years of experience in preparing delicious meals for our family with love and dedication. She will take you on a tour of our small home-made garden, where you can pick fresh vegetables that my parents have grown themselves. We will use these vegetables in our cooking. Additionally, my mother will share her cooking tips and secrets for seasoning to create authentic Vietnamese flavors in our dishes.
