You then will start walking to the local market only 5 minutes away. It’s great chance to learn about and taste some of the ingredients used in the local cuisine and to watch the buying and selling rituals of a Vietnamese market. Tour guide will assist you to buy a variety of foods from all the groceries such as: herbs, spices, vegetables, meats, fishes, fruits which are so fresh.

Sadly this trip was not at all what I expected. I was shocked to learn after being collected from our hotel that we were to travel on the public bus to the home of the local chef, and to navigate walk across a major highway in peak hour. Although the family were very hospitable it was disappointing that the chef didn't speak English and there were no cooking notes supplied. I was also very dubious about the hygiene of the kitchen and quality of water used to wash the food items. The kitchen was not really setup for hosting guests and to include them in the food preparation. The overall concept was ok, but a number of things need to be included in the information about the trip.

This was awesome Luisa my tour guide was excellent and she took me to her Aunt and Uncles place. We shopped in the local market in their village first, then took all the ingredients back to their home and cooked up a yummy feast, together. Totally recommend

A great experience cooking, dining and conversing with locals who are very competent in English. The staff are very friendly and extremely hospitable. A must if you want an authentic experience of Hanoi lifestyle as well as cuisine.
