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! "

Our mission

Our mission is to make Vietnamese cuisine accessible to everyone. We often notice that our 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 our 3,5 hour Vietnamese cooking class we want to show you that Vietnamese cuisine can be very accessible, even for novice cooks.
Furthermore, we are happy to show you how you can cook several Vietnamese dishes in less than 2 hours.
We use ingredients that are available everywhere, and the Vietnamese sauces are made 'from scratch'.

Vietnamese ingredients of the Vietnamese cooking class of Amsterdam Cooking Workshops

1. Key ingredients of Vietnamese cuisine

Authentic Vietnamese cooking starts with the right ingredients. However, you find many variants and brands of certain ingredients in the Asian supermarket or Indonesian toko. We explain which ingredients and brands are best to use, and why we use them.

2. Vietnamese sauces

Proper Vietnamese dipping sauces are one of the most important parts of Vietnamese cuisine. We don't like ready-made sauces, and of course we teach you how to easily prepare delicious dipping sauces yourself.

3. Vietnamese dishes

After you have made the Vietnamese sauces, it's time to start cooking! We teach you step by step how to cook several traditional and streetfood Vietnamese dishes. Of course we take your dietary preferences, and possible allergies into account when composing the menu. Sample menu:

Spring rolls with shrimps (Gỏi Cuốn Tôm)
Chicken soup with herbs and spices (Phở Gà)
Marinated fish with rice noodles and vegetables (Chả Cá)
Braised chicken with lemongrass and coconut (Gà Sả)

What our guests are saying

Myrthe, Amsterdam

"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!
