Gold star cooking class! ⭐️ - Edit
I’ve done a few vegan cooking classes in Vietnam but this one by far was the best! Lua and My were so friendly and helpful. We cooked three dishes; pancakes, spring rolls and bun. Then we sat and ate what we had cooked. The star of the show really is the amazing location, with a view from the 24th floor overlooking the city and river. Lua also runs an AirBnB room from this apartment that has a beautiful room overlooking the river with a private bathroom. Highly recommend for the cost ($63AU p/p)
Read moreDon’t hesitate and book Lua’s cooking class if you’re interested in Vietnamese cuisine. Lua speaks excellent English and it’s an easy location to find with Grab - approximately 10mins from Ben Thanh market and $1.80 via Grab taxi.
Pros: Delicious food , Friendly and excellent English , Amazing location with views

Awesome Vegan Cooking Class - Edit
Lua hosts the best authentic vegan cooking classes in HCMC! Expect an amazing experience in a small group by a super friendly, english expert, vietnamese chef in her private apartment.
Read moreShe payed careful attention to any allergies or dislikes and adapted to our menu wishes. Just suggest what you want to learn and be open to her expert suggestions. You won't be disappointed!
Lua cooks without MSG and teaches you how to combine the flavours and textures of different veggies in a tasteful vietnamese manner.
Write her on WhatsApp, Facebook or Instagram and state your preferences (note that she also offers non-vegan classes, so just say what you want).
100% recommended!
Pros: Very small group with lots of opportunities to ask, Lots of learnings and new perspectives , Amazing meal at the and

Fantastic and flexible cooking class - Edit
I made an appointment with Lua to take her cooking class the following day and had a wonderful time cooking up a mostly vegetarian meal. Pomelo salad, the crepes and a banana tapioca dessert with magically expanding shrimp chips for the salad. She showed and let us try different herbs and we got started on the prep for a fantastic meal. It is well worth your time and Lua is a great instructor. 5⭐️

Cooking Class at Lua‘s place - Edit
I enjoyed a really nice cooking class session at Lua‘s kitchen. I went there with my boyfriend who eats meat. Lua created a menu where we both were happy - same dishes but always with a vegetarian option (vegan also possible). Besides the delicious food Lua is a great host and I definitely would cook with her again. Thanks for the Food experience and for the recipes!
Read morePros: Many vegetarian or vegan options, Lua‘s great personality, You can choose the dishes you cook
Cons: Not available in Germany yet ;)

Memorable experience - Edit
Great vegan cooking class with Lua. She was generous enough to hold it even though I was the only participant.
Read moreWe cooked some of the most famous Vietnamese dishes (summer rolls, pho and banana/coconut soup) and they were all delicious. She explained each step carefully, and I feel really confident to be able to make them on my own now.
Lua was a lovely host, and I was really interested to hear about all her previous and future travels. I would 100% recommend this class for a more personal experience.
Pros: Excellent food, Great host, Lovely apartment

Awesome experience - Edit
Come to a vietnamese home, learn cooking, mingle with locals, eat really well, that‘s what you get at Lua‘s place. Better book at least a day or two before, she needs to get fresh stuff from the market, which can be difficult when you wanna come the same day.
Read morePros: Authentic, Mingle with locals, learn to do it yourself
Cons: A little off the center

Super chef! - Edit
Lua introduced me to more home-cooked Vietnamese dishes than I can even recall. I remember vividly how patient she was with my first clumsy attempts to cook ban xeo (delicious Southern savory pancakes), how she always explained the difference between all those unknown fresh herbs she used, and, of course, eating them with friends, often seated on the floor.
Read moreLua is a gentle guide into the world of refined Vietnamese cooking, with a particular love for all vegetarian (and therefore usually vegan) delicacies and alterations of the best classical dishes this rich cuisine has to offer. When cooking with her you will not only learn about the dishes you're making, but also a great deal about her culture, and the life of young people in Vietnam.
Pros: Authentic experience, Clean and proper, Kind host
