    VERY GOOD COOKING CLASS!
    Tracy was our instructor during our visit! She’s quite new but she’s very knowledgeable when it comes to vietnamese food. She gave us a lot of tips and trivia about the ingredients we’re using. Our food came out very authentic! Ask for Tracy for your vietnamese cooking class! Thank you!

    Fun bonding cook up
    A stress free , informative and fun class with our teacher, Jane. She is friendly, listens and accommodate our requests. Jane does not hurry us up and let's us do our cooking tasks at our pace. Demonstrate and Guide us along the way. End result - good food and drink with happy memories made during our time with Jane.

    Amazing cooking class!
    Took this cooking class with my vegetarian friend and Tracy was able to accommodate. Which worked out amazing as we got to learn both the meat recipes and the veggie ones. Her instructions were easy to follow and she kept everyone engaged. The food was delicious and such a fun experience. Highly recommend this cooking class and Tracy as the instructor!

    Trinh was amazing - a true local experience
    Trinh was an amazing teacher who told us lots of information about all the ingredients we bought at the market for cooking and many tips for learning to buy it ourselves! She was clear with the cooking instructions while making it a lot of fun. The food was delicious we were so full after! Definitely recommend when you are in Hanoi!

    Amazing Value & Experience!
    Amazing value and experience! We loved the market tour where we got to try herbs and get a feel for what we'd be cooking. Jane spoke perfect English and really kept the class moving but still with a community feel. This was one of our favorite Vietnam experiences. Highly recommended!

    Amazing experience for the family

    Fun and enjoyable cooking class
    Started off with a market tour which was just outside the cooking lesson venue, followed by the preparation and cooking of 5 different dishes. Tracy was our instructor and she made sure everyone has a chance to take part and be rest assured that you won't be left out even though it's a join in class. It was an enjoyable cooking experience and we had fun making friends with our Korean classmates as well as learning things about Vietnam/Hanoi from Tracy who was really very friendly and informative throughout the session. Highly recommended! Tracy mentioned she's one of the newest instructor with limited English vocabulary but we could understand her lesson well enough. Thank you and keep up the good work Tracy! Love your bright smile! :)

    Perfect foodie experience w Tracy
    We did a cooking class with Tracy and it was absolutly amazing! She was a great host and a great teacher. She explained everything very well and told us a lot about the origin of ingredients and the culture as well. We made 5 dishes and one of the people were vegetarian so everything had a veggie version. She balanced cooking so many thing very well. We had a massive pile of food at the end that we struggled to finish. If you live food and cooking I cannot recommend this course enough!!!

Wonderful experience! Never been to Vietnam or Thailand, and I love to cook, so this was a great class for me. We went shopping first, which was brief but blue, our head chef, told us about different foods and things about the culture. We then prepared For our feast. Chopping ingredients, rolling, spring rolls, forming meatballs, etc. Blue, and the other staff members were so attentive and helpful. They were super friendly and playful as well. We couldn’t wait to eat our feast, which ended up being delicious! Everything we had was delicious and many things for me were things that I had never had before. Cannot recommend this Experience enough!

Its was awesome, especially May who took us to the market and explained everything well and was very enjoyable to be around. I think you this cooking class was one of our top highlights on our trip. Its all because of May who spoke very good English, funny, and knowledge about not just cooking but also a wide assortments of Vietnamese culture. By the end of the class we learned to make a delicious 4 course Vietnamese meal. THANK YOU MAY!!!! Steven and Malachi

We really enjoyed our cooking experience at Apron Up. Our teacher, Blue, was awesome. She is a warm, funny and caring person. She explained things well and got everyone involved. We had a recipe booklet to take home and I am confident that we could cook the food again at home. It was great fun and we would highly recommend Apron Up and Blue.

Super nice group culinary experience!

Every one does a bit of this, a bit of that, chopping, grating, sizzling, laughing.

Bella starts the day with market tour and ingredients explanations , few facts about Vietnam and let your work on the fragrances of the food.
Back to the kitchen, here starts the fun 'till you get to eat with everyone those team work dishes .

Thank you very much Bella !!

Great cooking class with our energetic instructor May. Her English was excellent. We started with a market tour (right outside the door) and then we returned, made 5 tasty dishes and an egg coffee in 3 hours. At the end of the course they gave us a recipe book with the dishes we made. It was hands on and even though I am an accomplished home cook, I learned a lot. I would highly recommend the class.
