Overview
Hoi An cooking classes start with a trip to a local market to buy fresh ingredients, then proceed to a professional-led session making Vietnamese dishes such as banh mi, cao lau, and spring rolls.

Classes often take place in gardens along the Thu Bon River or in rural villages, adding to the atmosphere. About VND 500,000-800,000 per person. Bookable at many cooking schools in the Ancient Town.
