Itinerary
- Day 1
Hanoi
You'll start the morning at a lively neighborhood market with a local guide who shows you how Vietnamese cooks pick out the freshest ingredients. From there, you head to a peaceful garden villa where you'll get into the kitchen and prepare three dishes from scratch, fresh spring rolls, banana flower salad, and chicken pho. While you're cooking, your guide shares family traditions and regional cooking wisdom that go into each dish. After everything's ready, you gather in the garden courtyard with other travelers to eat what you've just made together. Later, you finish up with Hanoi's famous egg coffee, which is thick, rich, and pretty different from regular coffee you might be used to.
