Apron up cooking class

Had an amazing experience today at the Apronup Cooking Class in Hanoi. Vee was a wonderful teacher, very good English and knowledgeable about the ingredients and cooking techniques. Vee had no problem answering questions that I had which would help me prepare this food with ingredients that we have available in NZ. The market experience was great and the best bit .... sampling what was made. Tip for those doing the course, dont eat for hours before hand. Highly recommend!!

We booked a cooking class and Jen (Ngoc) was our instructor. We had such a fun time. We started off shopping for some of our ingredients to make our dishes. We learned so much about the ingredients and spices incorporated in the Vietnamese cuisines. We had a blast and Jen broke it down into easy steps so that we can remember and we even got the recipes! Definitely one of the best experiences we ve had in Hanoi so far!

This was a last minute decision to book and it was so worthwhile. It was amazing. Jen was so good at explaining and her level of English is phenomenal. She started the class with a trip to the local market and she was so patient explaining everything to us. She was fun, jokey and made us feel at ease immediately. When we started cooking, she explained every step to us and she was always on hand helping and saving us from ruining our dishes! At the end, we all sat down and enjoyed what we cooked and chatted together. It felt so lovely to connect with others over our new Vietnamese cooking skills! Book this now - you won't regret it!

Jen and the team at Apron Up delivered an outstanding cooking class experience. Jen is an amazing host—warm, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about Vietnamese cuisine. ​The experience started with a fantastic trip to the local market, where Jen provided cultural insights and guided us in selecting the freshest ingredients. Back in the kitchen, we made five incredible Vietnamese dishes. Jen’s teaching was perfectly explained and easy to follow. Everything we cooked was, of course, absolutely delicious! ​If you are looking for an authentic, educational, and fun experience in Hanoi, this is a must-do. Highly recommend booking with Jen and Apron Up!

We had an amazing experience here that we will always remember! Our instructor Jennie was very knowledgeable and kind, and we learned how to make some amazing authentic Vietnamese dishes. This is an excellent excursion to choose if you’re visiting Hanoi, it changes the pace and allows you to actually interact with the local street vendors who we were otherwise constantly passing by. They were easily able to accommodate our dietary restrictions as well. We were given the recipes after and can’t wait to try making our own sometime.

We loved our experience with Sunny our guide - so friendly and great at explaining the dishes, history, and context. The 5 recipes we did were very delicious and practical (as in some of the most common things and the dishes we love the most). Amazing to learn the tips and tricks of how to successfully make these recipes at home - the flavors with such depth and balanced. (They share the recipes at the end, but highly recommend writing notes of the tips and tricks along the way because those in-depth notes don't come described in the recipes they share.) Highly recommend this experience to be able to take a little Vietnam back with you home in being able to recreate this delicious found here.

I had the best time at the apron up cooking class!! Emmy was the best teacher and so kind! The food we made was amazing! Definitely don’t eat before the class because you will want to try everything!! I’m vegetarian and she helped me make a separate vegetarian dish every time without compromising the experience or flavour!

Had a cooking class here with Vy. The menu was Spring rolls, Bun Cha, Pho & Egg Coffee. All meals were absolutely delicious. Probably the best meal we have had on land in our 3 weeks in Vietnam. Coupled with a market tour this class is a must do when in Hanoi. A big thank you to Vy for her sense of humor and cooking prowess.
