Step into the world of Vietnam’s beloved bánh mì with an immersive cooking class in Hanoi, designed for food lovers and anyone curious about the city’s vibrant culinary scene. More than just a cooking lesson, this experience offers an introduction to the history, flavours and traditions behind one of Vietnam’s most iconic street foods.
The experience begins in a welcoming local home, where your host chef will introduce you to the story of bánh mì. Inspired by the French baguette during the colonial era, it has evolved into a distinctly Vietnamese creation, combining crisp bread with colourful pickled vegetables, savoury meats or tofu, fresh herbs and flavourful sauces.
Guided step by step, you’ll knead the dough, pickle vegetables, prepare fillings such as grilled pork or chicken and make the sauces that give bánh mì its distinctive flavour. For an authentic Hanoi touch, discover more about Vietnam’s coffee culture as you prepare your own drink, choosing from egg coffee, salt coffee or coconut coffee.
Once everything is ready, sit down with your hosts and fellow travellers to enjoy your creations together and experience the flavours and food culture of Hanoi.
