Great Experience with Rose Kitchen and our guide Collin

Excellent experience learning to cook three dishes. Bún cha was my favorite of the three dishes and the instructions were clear and easy to understand. I plan to make it at home. Collin did a great job bringing us around the market and explaining the different ingredients and culture of Vietnam as well as teaching us how to prepare the various dishes in an engaging manner. The group cooking class was great overall and we enjoyed our experience a lot. Thank you so much!

An Unforgettable Hanoi Experience Come Hungry

An absolutely fantastic experience and something I would highly recommend anyone visiting Hanoi do! From visiting the local markets and selecting our fresh ingredients, to learning how to prepare and cook some delicious Vietnamese dishes, the whole experience was brilliant from start to finish. Our guide, Emy, was particularly amazing. She was so knowledgeable and really made the experience special. The food was absolutely delicious, so my biggest tip is to come hungry! It was also wonderful to receive all the recipes afterwards, so you can take a little piece of Vietnam home with you and recreate the experience in your own kitchen. A fantastic way to experience Vietnamese culture, food and local life. I couldn’t recommend it more!

Fun cooking class experience

Thank you Alice for a fun morning of cooking delicious northern Vietnamese cuisine! Alice was very friendly and approachable and made it an engaging experience. The only feedback I have is that food handling at the market was not hygienic. The raw chicken was handled by the vendor with his bare hands, which he wiped with a towel and then used to accept cash. The chicken was put in a lunchbox, which was then put in a tote bag with other non-meat ingredients like vermicelli noodles. For next time I would suggest chicken is always put in a container or plastic bag and carried separately with care to avoid contamination.
