Hanoj Kurzy varenia

This was one of my favourite experiences in Hanoi. The local market tour was a great way to learn about Vietnamese ingredients before heading back to cook. The instructors were friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel welcome, even if you had very little cooking experience. We made several delicious traditional dishes, and the recipes were explained clearly so I can recreate them at home. Everything was well organised, the kitchen was clean, and the atmosphere was fun and relaxed. I left with a full stomach, new cooking skills, and a much better understanding of Vietnamese cuisine. The food was absolutely delicious and has definitely made me want to eat Vietnamese food again when I get home. I would highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Hanoi.

Hung, náš tréner a šéfkuchár, je naozaj priateľský a má rozsiahle vedomosti! Výlet nie je len o varení, ale aj o skutočnom spoznávaní vietnamskej kulinárskej kultúry. Hung nás vzal na mokrý trh a ukázal nám stránku vietnamského miestneho života, ktorú turista nikdy neuvidí, pokiaľ ho niekto nevedie. Pohostil nás pouličnými jedlami, ktoré by sme sa sami neodvážili ochutnať, a boli úžasné a otvárajúce oči. Kurz varenia bol tiež podrobný a plný skvelých a užitočných tipov. 100% odporúčam!

An absolutely fantastic experience—I'd say it was perfect! From the morning market shopping session, to the pick-up and drop-off transport, to the cooking venue and the staff's attitudes—everything deserves full marks from me!! The dishes we made were incredibly delicious too haha, and I also made a lot of new friends;) It was my last day in Hanoi, and I'm so glad I chose Dine with Locals~

Jesse bol naozaj skvelý a trpezlivý inštruktor. Veľmi sme sa zabavili pri učení, ako si pripraviť vietnamskú kávu a Banh Mi od základov. Miesto je tiež veľmi čisté a vyzerá naozaj pekne. Počas čakania nám dali aj nejaké nápoje na ochutnanie. Veľmi dobrá skúsenosť!

Táto prehliadka a kurz varenia boli úžasné. Hazel bola naša sprievodkyňa a šéfkuchárka. Bola úžasná a naučila nás toľko techník. Myslím, že by som mohol byť profesionálnym vietnamským šéfkuchárom, ha ha ha ha. Vrelo odporúčam na príjemné popoludnie.

Chef Hung-Pickle thought us the secrets behind making amazing pho, bun cha, and spring rolls. The tour started with buying fresh ingredients in a local market then to cooking in a gorgeous kitchen, grilling in the backyard, and even rolling up fresh noodles. Such a fun hands-on experience. Totally recommend — 5 stars all the way!

It was such an enjoyable experience joining this cooking class in Hanoi! I didn’t expect that, aside from learning how to cook authentic Vietnamese dishes, we would also get to immerse ourselves in Vietnam’s vibrant culture. The instructors were welcoming, the experience was fun and hands-on, and I walked away with both new cooking skills and a deeper appreciation for Vietnamese cuisine. I highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Hanoi, it’s definitely one of the highlights of the trip!

I had a very informative time making Vietnamese pho and local-style coffee at the cooking class. Pho: I was able to learn in detail from the process of making the broth to preparing the noodles and toppings. I am very satisfied to have gained tips on recreating the deep, local flavor at home. Coffee: I learned how to extract and make Vietnam's signature rich and sweet coffee using condensed milk and cream. The process was not complicated yet tasted wonderful, making it very practical. Thanks to the instructor's kind explanations and systematic guidance, even beginners can easily follow along. I highly recommend it for the opportunity to enjoy the dishes you make yourself.

Túto hodinu som si zamiloval/a! Keďže s nami nikto iný nebol, mali sme tak trochu súkromnú hodinu pre troch ľudí haha 😁 Šéfkuchár Hung (a jeho asistentka Mira) bol veľmi vzdelaný a hovoril dobre po anglicky, pričom nám počas prehliadky trhu, hodiny a dokonca aj v ich bylinkovej záhrade dobre odpovedal na naše otázky. Recepty, ktoré nás naučil, boli tiež super chutné a páčilo sa mi, že sme si všetko mohli pripraviť od základov, vrátane pho cestovín, čo bol jedinečný zážitok, ktorý som našiel/našla len v tomto centre varenia! Rovnako ako aj naše ďalšie obľúbené jedlá: Bun Cha a jarné závitky, kde bolo dokonca k dispozícii aj grilovacie vybavenie. Celkovo by som túto hodinu naozaj odporučil/a. Za tú cenu to naozaj stojí za to!
