Review from customer
“This was easily the best cooking class I’ve ever done. The trip through the market to gather ingredients was a true cultural experience. The classes were well organised, and the food we produced was authentic and rich with Vietnamese flavours. We loved is so much, we did a second class!. Highly recommend.”
Ms. Hanh, the founder of Happy Cooking Class, is the eldest of four children. She grew up in a mountain village where her grandmother and mother opened a restaurant in 1980. From a young age, she was involved in most household chores and learned meticulously how to prepare food, teaching herself to cook dishes from scratch.
At 16, she fell in love with Hoi An and decided to stay, working at a local restaurant. Due to her diligence and talent, she was promoted to head chef after only eight months. Customers loved her cooking and suggested she open a cooking class for tourists.
She began teaching tourists in 2003 until the Covid-19 pandemic broke out in 2020. After returning to Hoi An in 2022, getting married, and having a baby, she decided to pursue her biggest dream: opening her own cooking school in 2025. With over 20 years of experience, Ms. Hanh is committed to providing fun, cozy, and flavorful Vietnamese cooking experiences.
