As you cook together, you'll learn not only how to recreate authentic recipes but also the cultural significance of the ingredients and flavors that define Vietnamese cuisine. Enjoy the meal you've prepared in a welcoming home setting, creating memories and connections that extend far beyond the kitchen.
Choose the optional market trip and discover Vietnamese ingredients and pantry staples at a local supermarket while learning about Vietnamese food culture.

Private hands-on Vietnamese cooking class in a local Boston home
Experience an authentic Vietnamese cooking class in Boston with local host Liem in his home in Dorchester. This private, hands-on culinary experience offers a unique opportunity to learn how to prepare traditional Vietnamese dishes from scratch while discovering the history, culture, and stories behind the food.
Begin by learning essential Vietnamese cooking techniques and flavor principles as you prepare a seasonal menu that may include phở noodle soup, crispy eggrolls, banana blossom salad, and other regional specialties. Along the way, Liem shares insights into Vietnamese culinary traditions, ingredients, and how classic dishes have evolved over generations.
After cooking, enjoy the meal you helped prepare with a glass of wine or beer. On select days, Liem's husband Tom may join, adding to the welcoming atmosphere.
If you select the market trip option, begin with a 30-minute visit to a Vietnamese supermarket in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood. Explore traditional ingredients, fresh herbs, sauces, and pantry staples while learning about Vietnamese food culture. Then travel with Liem to his nearby home for a private, hands-on Vietnamese cooking class and meal.
