Experience
Authentic Vietnamese Vegan Cooking Class

What makes our experience unique?
Hoi An is my hometown, and I love sharing my city’s delicious cuisine with guests. My family and I are a Vietnamese vegan family, and we’ve been living here creating these dishes within our family for many years. This cooking class is very close to our hearts.
What You’ll Do
Hoi An is my hometown, and I love sharing my city’s delicious cuisine with guests. Join me and my family in an exploration of authentic Vietnamese food. This is the only tour of its kind – we are proud to be the very first vegan Vietnamese cooking class in Hoi An!
Chickpea Eatery welcomes you into our comfortable home-like environment where you will prepare unique and authentic Vietnamese fusion dishes. We will learn how to make four Vietnamese vegan dishes and one traditional dessert: fresh spring rolls, marinated tempeh/tofu, vegan chicken and rice, bánh xèo, and a sweet dessert called chè. These meals are significant to Vietnamese culture and the recipes were made by my mum and adapted by us, her daughters.
You will feel like you are cooking along with us in a traditional Vietnamese family’s kitchen! This cooking class will show you how to bring traditional and delicious Vietnamese foods into your own kitchen and with the skills you’ll learn with us, you will be able to enjoy these dishes again and again.
We hope you will be ready for a big multi-course cooking and tasting session full of food and fun with the Chickpea family!
