I completed the Professional Chefs course at HCM cooking school in September /October 2022. I cannot speak highly enough of Chef Tan. He has a wealth of knowledge that he is more than willing to share. As a professional Chef myself he challenged me daily to improve my skills, techniques and understanding. He is also great fun, we spent most days laughing while also getting our work done. He is an excellent teacher that is knowledgeable with great patience and experience. He wants the best for his students and is very happy when he sees them succeed. I will forever be in his debt and cannot speak highly enough of him and his lovely family. If you are a professional Chef and want to improve your knowledge of Vietnamese cuisine and wok skills then this course is perfectly suited. Also having said that Chef Tan tailors each course to your ability. If you want to have a nice leisurely time or you want to test yourself helping him cook and prepare for the larger tour groups( 100+) then this is the course for you. I wish you all the best Chef Tan, many thanks!

In December, my wife and I booked a 2-day cooking course with Chef Tan to learn about Vietnamese cuisine. Chef Tan is a great chef with experience not just in Vietnamese cuisine, but international cuisine as well. I am a novice chef, so not only did I learn about the cuisine, but as chef tan is a professional chef, he taught me many techniques that I use at home to improve my cooking. The cooking class was an hour outside of Ho Chi Minh, but being on a farm meant we were able to pick and use the fresh ingredients, and Chef Tan arranged for us to visit a local farm and to a rice noodle factory, which gave us a greater appreciation for Vietnamese cuisine. If you are seriously interested in learning about Vietnamese cuisine, HCM Cooking class is a great option

We called for lunch after spending the morning in the tunnels. We were a large party and they had everything prepared and ready to serve us. The food was lovely, beautifully served but the flavours were superb, so fresh and subtle. The food was excellent .

We enjoyed to get many informations about the plants and herbs. It was very niece to pick many ingredients by ourselves. The group of 5 people was smart so the Chef had time for everyone’s questions. To learn a pho was super interesting. The drive from the center took more than 2 hours what we didn’t expect. That’s important to know. So we recommend to go to the tunnels. Only cooking class would be long drive for.

It was interesting, it was informative and the most importantly, it was fun. The best part of the adventure was collection of the herbs and mushrooms for your own cooking. The team was very helpful at every point of the journey. If you want to spend your time nicely and learn new things, this is stuff you should do for sure. Also the follow up, with certificate and photos on your email, is the icing on the cake.

The class was well organized and offered insights to Vietnamese agriculture and food culture.

The most impressive was Chef's insistence on fair treatment for farmers. e not only talked the talk, he walked it as well.

We had a good exchange of information on herb farming as well as got some ideas to consider for our own farm.

I loved everything about this cooking class! Not only did I learn to make some of the most delicious food I ate in Vietnam, but the chef was so funny and knowledgeable, the tour of the gardens was very interesting and I loved the whole farm to table approach. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and it really was my favourite activity of my trip to Ho Chi Minh City. Highly recommend 10/10!!

I'm so happy that I did this tour. I did the half day Farm to Plate course. I was collected on time from me hotel in HCMC! The lass who helped me was so knowledgeable and she explained everything beautifully. The dishes were so tasty. I definitely recommend this tour. They returned me to my hotel safely in the late afternoon. Thankyou for this wonderful experience.

We had a wonderful experience with Tien as our guide and chef today. We were picked up at 7:30 and driven to the farm about 1 hour north of HCMC. There she showed us around their extensive organic gardens and she showed us many different plants and herbs that they harvest for the cooking school and can also be used medicinally. We were able to harvest many herbs and greens for use in our 4 Vietnamese dishes. Then we enjoyed cooking our own Vietnamese dishes with Tien, deep fried shrimp spring rolls with an amazing dipping sauce, marinated grilled pork and oyster mushrooms on mixed vegetables and diced herbs with vermicelli noodles, an amazing caramelized chicken and mushroom dish on steamed rice and finally nicely balanced deep fried sesame cashew banana spring rolls with coconut ice-cream. We were completely stuffed and satisfied with our large delicious 4 course meal. We finished around 12:30pm and then the driver drove us back to our hotel. All in all an enjoyable taste of Vietnamese cuisine and culture!
