Hanoi Apron Up Cooking Class

this tour and cooking class was . Hazel was our guide and chef. She was amazing so there’s so many techniques. I think I could be a professional Vietnamese chef ha ha ha ha would highly recommend for a good afternoon.

We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our market and cooking experience with Hazel at Apron Up. It was a delight to learn not only how our favorite Vietnamese dishes are traditionally made but also the little stories that accompany them. A must try when in Hanoi.

I enjoyed doing this cooking class. it was a glimpse of how they do their local food. it really is just fresh ingredients and simple cooking. but it felt so easy because the staff have been working at the backend tirelessly. our teacher was Bella and she was very easy and chill. she was very good in giving instructions and teaching, there wasnt pressure in anything. it was like teaching a friend. i love the food we made and i can say it is a good class to experience.

We had a wonderful time making the 5 traditional Vietnamese dishes. the teacher chef was excellent and spoke perfect English. I highly recommend this cooking class. The dishes were simple to make. A great activity for families!

Truly enjoyed this class! Kim, the teacher, was highly knowledgeable about the produce when we were buying ingredients in the market. She also made sure that everyone in the group could follow the cooking procedures and had something to contribute as we went through each step. The pace of the class was also good and we ended up with delicious food ❤️

🧑I experienced a very interesting cooking class in Hanoi 🔶There are morning and afternoon sessions to choose from, and each class is 3 hours. From buying vegetables at the market, to preparing the ingredients, to the final product, the whole process is team work ❤️The cooking instructor is a beautiful lady who speaks fluent English without an accent, explains patiently, and is very interactive🍲A total of 5 dishes were made, beef pho, pork rice noodles, fried spring rolls, papaya salad, egg coffee🐂The soup of the beef pho uses cinnamon, five-spice powder, etc., which are first ground into powder, and then boiled with onions and beef bones for 2 hours. It turns out that the beef pho is so fragrant, and there is this secret🍲The pork rice noodles are hand-kneaded, and then baked into mature meat patties. The rice noodle dip is added to the meat balls, which is sweet Taste🌮Spring rolls, need a lot of auxiliary materials, meat filling, carrot shreds, mushrooms, fungus, etc. Wrapping spring rolls is a technical job, and finally deep-frying, seasoning is fish sauce, sugar and water🥗Papaya salad, a variety of vegetable shreds mixed together, a magic tool to relieve greasiness☕Egg coffee, separate the egg white and egg yolk, use a blender to blend at high speed until it becomes a paste, and finally put it on the extracted black coffee, sprinkle with cocoa powder, it has the texture of tiramisu, not sweet, not bitter, much better than other egg coffees in Hanoi

This was such a fun activity to do. Going to the market to purchase some of the ingredients was a great experience. We learnt about the products as well as the way the locals shop, how things are produced and what and where to buy fresh produce. Winnie our guide and instructor was fabulous. Not only was she knowledgeable about cooking traditional food but she was friendly, engaging and ensured that we all had a hands on experience. She was thorough in her explanations and willingly answered all questions. Her warmth and sense of humour added to the enjoyment. We learnt how to make 5 different dishes and shared in a meal with the group at the end of the cooking class. Thank you Winnie for being so brilliant in ensuring that we had a memorable experience. Winnie also gave us a certificate and a recipe book of all the dishes that we learnt to cook. Highly recommend!

im so proud for everyone that we made these delicious dishes. it was a team work! Bella made sure we all have tasks and entertained my questions, she's so patient and kind to everyone. We came in as strangers and we left as a group talking more than food. Highly recommend this activity, especially for solo travellers (i was 🥹) especially if you want to cook other than what your mom taught you, or just want to cook these Vietnamese dishes yourself.

this is really worth ur money. our guide (chef) Winnie was very knowledgeable, fun and friendly. really learned a lot from this class and we even took a recipe book of what we have prepared in class. i even bought ingredients to bring home with me just to make sure that they will be as delicious as how we have prepared it in class! highly recommended!

I am so glad I signed up for this! It was an immersive way to experience an important aspect of the Vietnamese lifestyle. Bella, our instructor, was knowledgeable, friendly and a good teacher. I enjoyed the marketing experience and definitely the whole cooking experience too. Highly recommend this for anyone who wants to get up close and personal with Vietnamese culture.
