Apron Up Cooking Class - Hanoi

I had a great experience. I have booked the vegetarian cooking class by travel advisors. the cook teacher asked for food restrictions and could only absorb vegan. in the regular with the cooking class they have meat and vegetarian cook together with a series of 5 recipes each, but the other student also decided to go with the vegan menu so that it ended only a vegan class. for the vegan menu we have learned to make pho, bananeneis, veggiebälle, fried spring rolls and papaya salad. the instructor speaks fluent English, is friendly, and followed by email after sending the recipes.

Beautiful cooking class and market shopping trip with Apron Up. Our guide and cooking instructor, Siri “hey, Siri!” was incredibly cheerful and entertaining. The lunch we did was delicious and fun to prepare together. Pho, spring rolls, meatballs, papaya salad and egg coffee is a great introduction to the basics of Vietnamese cuisine. Siri’s English is phenomenal and it is a font of information about Vietnam culture and history. Apres Up offers a certificate and a mini-Kokbook to take home so you can try it again. Apres Up is located in a French building in the old French quarter looking for the sign for “Kim’s Tours”.

We cooked with siri and it was a wonderful experience! she was really friendly and she learned so much about cooking, but also about vietnams traditions and funny facts.

This was literally the highlight of our trip! We booked for today and were only two people in the afternoon class. Siri was our teacher and we had so much fun. We went to the market where they explained all the ingredients, showed us around and bought us some Vietnamese donuts and a pig to have as a snack while on the market. After that we started cooking! We made Pho, Papaya salad, spring rolls, pig balls and egg coffee! We have made everything from scratches, used all fresh ingredients and fresh spices. After cooking we had dinner together and talked a lot about everything! Siri made us very welcome and we really enjoyed our afternoon/night! Can only recommend doing this if you love Vietnamese food and like to do something about the ingredients and how to make it. Siri's English is really, really good and after class you get your own certificate and all recipes in a small recipe book. A beautiful day! Thank you.

Great time at the cooking class yesterday led by Nhi. We learned so many great dishes and tons of secrets of the trade and had a ton of fun and laughs while we learned. One of the better cooking classes I’ve ever done. Already recommended it to a few friends travelling in Hanoi, confident they’ll have a great time
