Our Cooking Class in Saigon

Cook is my company's cooking class in Saigon, and by far our most popular pursuit by hungry, knowledge thirsty tourists. They love the opportunity provided to them to be able to visit someone's house as well as have the cooking experience. Other classes offer the market shopping as do we, but we choose a local market near the chef's house. One local business woman who runs a successful cooking class for tourists told me they only went to Ben Thanh, because it wasn't safe at local markets. Tosh! Anyway the whole idea of our services is to get away from the crowds of tourists.

We've had a lot of satisfied customers -- in fact all of them, and it is thanks to the hard work of our part time students (who are fantastic) and the chef's knowledge, skill and hospitality. Here are some shots and some of the feedback we have received. All the pictures are from customers themselves.

One of our first customers :

Dear Chi,

Thank you so much for a wonderful day that we had with your cooking class.

It was very enjoyable and we all had a great time. It was fun, informative, educational and most of all - delicious! I can't think of anyway to improve it really.

All in all, it was a great day and very memorable experience. Please pass on my regards and thanks to the family that were so kind to allow us into their home to share some of their culture and food with us.

Not blowing our own trumpet, but:

Dear Connections,

I was one of your first customers and sampled a market excursion / cooking class. I would like to take this opportunity of congratulating you on what was a highly enjoyable and rewarding experience. The family who hosted the class could not have been more hospitable in welcoming us into their home. The class was efficiently and professionally conducted with a range of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. The finale was sharing a delicious meal together at the conclusion. I will recommend your company highly to all and any vistors to Saigon.

The "Cook" session was an absolute delight! From the visit to the local market (where we were able to photograph unfamiliar ingredients!) to the warm welcome from the very talented Nghia and her family. We learned so much, laughed a great deal, enjoyed a delicious lunch and can't wait to try out our Spring Roll recipe and our new-found skills here at home. Many thanks.
