This page gathers Saigon cooking classes that start in the market and finish at your own stove. Southern Vietnamese food runs sweeter than the north’s, heavier on coconut and fresh herbs, and a good teacher explains why. Most classes cover banh xeo and a properly balanced dipping sauce.
Immerse yourself in the flavors and history of Vietnam with a unique full-day experience that combines cooking classes, BBQ lunch, and Mekong River cruises for a day of unforgettable adventure.
