Vietnamese mums are the best chefs - so who better to learn from than from them? In this Vietnamese cooking class, you'll learn the secrets of authentic and super yummy Vietnamese cuisine from a group of women who grew up learning these recipes from their mums.You'll start with a visit to a local wet market, where the chefs will teach you how to pick the freshest ingredients and how locals actually shop day to day. Then, head back to the kitchen to cook together, learning to prepare classic Hanoian dishes. Depending on the menu, you might even get to cook over charcoal in their lovely little backyard!Food is very closely tied to Vietnamese culture, so as you cook and finally enjoy your meal together, your chefs will share the stories and traditions behind each dish - along with glimpses into family life, and how some dishes are key to preparing for marriage.No cooking experience needed!

Hidden Hanoi was founded by a group of women born and bred in Hanoi. They met through their mutual passion for food and realised that they also share a desire to impart their culture and traditions to travellers through their cooking. They particularly find joy in sharing the recipes and methods of cooking which have been passed down through generations by their mothers and sisters. The goal of the women of Hidden Hanoi is to teach travellers the simple yet made with love recipes so they can take a little bit of Hanoi back to their home countries.
