Apron up cooking class — Restaurant in Hà Nội

My partner Liz and I recently attended the Apron Up Cooking Class in Hanoi, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish! We opted for the Daily class and were thrilled with the dishes we learned to make: Pho, Bun Cha (BBQ pork noodles), Fried Spring Roll, papaya salad, and the famous Hanoi egg coffee.

Our instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, guiding us through each step with ease. The class began with a visit to a local market, where we handpicked fresh ingredients, immersing ourselves in the vibrant culture of Hanoi. Back in the kitchen, the environment was welcoming and well-organized, making it easy for us to follow along and enjoy the process.

The highlight for me was mastering the art of making Pho, with its rich and aromatic broth. Liz particularly enjoyed the hands-on experience of crafting perfect Fried Spring Rolls. The Bun Cha was another standout, with its flavorful BBQ pork and refreshing herbs. The papaya salad added a wonderful, tangy contrast to the meal, and the Hanoi egg coffee was a delightful end to our culinary journey.

What truly made this class special was the warmth and enthusiasm of our instructor, who made us feel like seasoned chefs. The small group setting allowed for personalized attention and a friendly, collaborative atmosphere.

We left the class not only with a full stomach but also with new skills and recipes to bring home. If you’re in Hanoi and looking for a memorable and authentic cooking experience, I highly recommend Apron Up Cooking Class. Five stars...

I had the most amazing time joining Apron Up Cooking Class with Emmy! The menu was fantastic—Bún Chả, Beef Phở, Papaya Salad, Spring Rolls, and Egg Coffee—a true feast of authentic flavors. Emmy guided us step by step, breaking down each recipe so it felt approachable while still keeping the dishes true to tradition.

Her teaching style is warm and encouraging, making the class both fun and informative. I especially appreciated the little cooking tips she shared, from balancing flavors in the dipping sauce to getting the broth just right for the phở. Preparing everything from scratch, buying from the market, gave me a whole new appreciation for Vietnamese cuisine.

The class was very hands-on, and Emmy made sure everyone was involved and comfortable. By the end, not only did we enjoy a delicious meal together, but I also left confident that I could recreate these dishes at home.

If you’re looking for a cooking experience that’s authentic, interactive, and absolutely delicious, I can’t recommend Emmy’s class enough. The highlight for me was sipping the velvety egg coffee at the end—such a...
