This was a most interesting morning spending time in the local market shopping for and learning about the ingedients, which we cooked in the Cooking Centre and then had for lunch._br/_ The staff were very friendly and we had a jolly time making our recipes!_br/_ We even took our Spring Rolls home with us to eat later - crooked and not very perfect in shape as they came out! _br/_ Yet we were very proud of our efforts !! _br/_ Thank you to the staff at the Cooking Centre for a most enjoyable and fun-filled morning !!_br/_ Wishing you all every success at the Hanoi Cooking Centre!

The cooking class was excellent. We were the only members of the class so it was private. We started with a personalized tour of the market where we made several dishes. The instructor was Australian, so there was no language barrier and it was just as described.

We originally booked the morning class and received confirmation by email.

Also, we would have liked to be able to choose items to cook. They have three menus, but we just did what they said! As we were the only two in the class, surely they could have customized it. Also, we had to tip the drivers and the chef. This was supposed to be all inclusive, and as Aussies, tipping is not normal. Having to be
