Mr. Selfish and I certainly enjoy taking cooking classes. Initially though, I wasn’t too sure whether I wanted to take a cooking class in Hoi An. However, after a few days of eating the food, I knew that we had to take one. The food in Hoi An is very different from the southern cuisine from Saigon.
We signed up for a cooking class with Van from Green Bamboo Cooking School, which is the highest rated cooking class on Trip Advisor. The class includes a market tour to buy ingredients and, more importantly, allows each of participant to choose from over sixty dishes to make.
Mr. Selfish and I had previously walked through the Hoi An market and were a little overwhelmed by the selection of produce and meat. It was nice to have Van take us around and show us the ropes. We started in the food stalls area where people were dining on their breakfast. Then, we went to the fruit and veggies area, where we sampled some fruit and Van pointed out the veggies we would need for our dishes.
