Hue Cooking Class with Meal and Herbal Foot Soak

Discover authentic Hue cuisine in a hands-on cooking class led by a local chef, with optional cyclo ride and Dong Ba Market visit.

Getting started

Begin your experience by meeting your local chef at the designated cooking venue in Hue. After a brief introduction to the session format, you settle into the kitchen space where ingredients and tools are prepared for you. Once everyone is ready, the chef outlines the Hue dishes you will cook and explains how the class will run from preparation through to the shared meal.

What to expect

Traditional cyclo ride through Hue

For the Hue Cooking Class with Cyclo Ride & Market Visit option, the experience can start with a traditional cyclo ride through Hue.

Features

• The traditional cyclo ride through Hue lets you travel through the city at a gentle pace so you can observe daily life and local streets from a classic pedal-powered seat.
• This cyclo ride is included only if you select the variant that specifies a traditional cyclo ride through Hue, and it forms the first part of that option before you reach the cooking venue.

Dong Ba Market

If you choose the option that includes a market visit, your route features a stop at Dong Ba Market.

Features

• Dong Ba Market is known as a vibrant trading hub where stalls are stocked with fresh produce, herbs, and other local ingredients that define authentic Hue recipes.
• The visit to Dong Ba Market is included only with the Hue Cooking Class with Cyclo Ride & Market Visit variant, which gives you time to see and possibly source some of the ingredients you will later cook with.

Hue cooking class with local chef

The core of every variant is a hands-on cooking experience with a local chef focused on Hue cuisine.

Features

• A hands-on cooking class with a local chef guides you step by step through traditional techniques, showing you how to work with authentic Hue recipes and local ingredients.
• During the session, you receive structured cooking instruction for 3 Hue dishes, learning how each course is built from raw ingredients to finished plate.
• The chef provides all the components you need so you can prepare a complete meal you prepare yourself and then sit down to enjoy the homemade meal you have cooked.
• After the cooking, you relax with a traditional herbal foot soak that is included as part of the experience, offering a calm moment to unwind following your time in the kitchen.
• At the end of the class, a cooking class certificate is provided so you can remember your Hue experience and the 3 Hue dishes you have learned to cook.

Wrapping up

Two variants are available: Authentic Hue Hands-On Cooking Class focuses solely on the cooking studio experience, while Hue Cooking Class with Cyclo Ride & Market Visit adds the traditional cyclo ride through Hue and a visit to Dong Ba Market before your time in the kitchen.
