Vietnamese cooking classes
Attend my Vietnamese cooking classes and cooking workshops, and learn yourself how to cook well-known Vietnamese dishes
Vietnamese cooking class
The duration of a Vietnamese cooking class with traditional and streetfood dishes is 3,5 hours. First, I introduce myself and tell you about my Asian roots and passion for Southeast-Asian cuisines.
You learn about specific flavors, aroma's, history, uses, and combinations of key ingredients of Vietnamese cuisine.
I guide you step by step how to combine these ingredients, and to cook several delicious and tasteful Vietnamese dishes.
Finally, you enjoy the dishes that you have cooked yourself, thān h̄ı̂ xr̀xy na (enjoy your meal)!
Vietnamese private cooking class or open group cooking class?
- Both private cooking classes as well as open group cooking classes are possible for a maximum of 20 people. Larger groups are only possible on request.
- The minimum group size for a Vietnamese private cooking class is 6people.
- As an individual or couple you can sign up for a Vietnamese open group cooking class. Please see below for upcoming dates for open group Vietnamese cooking classes. You can book and pay online. Are there no dates or just a few dates available? This means unfortunately that the open group cooking workshops are fully booked already.
- The group size for an Vietnamese open group cooking workshop is max 14 people. This ensures that there is enough room for personal guidance and asking questions.
We always take into account everyone's dietary requirements and allergies.
The group is divided into small groups of 2 people. Each group cooks 1 or 2 Vietnamese dishes. At the end of the cooking workshop a Vietnamese tasting menu consisting of my favorite dishes is cooked and eaten afterwards, enjoy!

"Super cozy and delicious!"
We attended the Vietnamese cooking workshop. It was easy to follow and fun to make and try new dishes. It was nice that David took the time to explain everything in English for the people who didn't speak Dutch. Highly recommended! "

My mission
My mission is to make Vietnamese cuisine accessible to everyone. I often notice that my guests think that:
- Vietnamese cuisine is extremely difficult
- Vietnamese cuisine is only for advanced cooks
- Vietnamese cuisine takes a long time
- Vietnamese sauces should be bought at supermarkets
- With my 3,5 hour Vietnamese cooking class I want to show you that Vietnamese cuisine can be very accessible, even for novice cooks.
- Furthermore, I am happy to show you how you can cook several Vietnamese dishes in less than 2 hours.
- I use ingredients that are available everywhere, and the Vietnamese sauces are made 'from scratch'.

What my guests are saying

"Super educational, fun and delicious experience!"
For my friend's birthday we did a Vietnamese cooking workshop with David. After a short introduction about himself, his past, family, and how he started cooking, he broadly talked about the ingredients we would be working with.
Together with him we made some delicious Vietnamese dishes; fresh spring rolls, and the famous Pho Bo, among others. During the cooking he guided us in our cooking technique, he showed us everything neatly before we were allowed to try it ourselves and afterwards we ate our works of art.
Overall, great!

I always provide private cooking classes for groups from 8 to 20 people, team outings, and open group cooking classes at Bilderdijkstraat 175h in Amsterdam (Gallery 3).
