About us

Come to our Vietnamese cooking class and learn how to cook the Vietnamese dishes VietNam are famous for, and found on every family’s table dishes like Pho, Banh Xeo, Pork caramelized…

This isn’t fusion cooking. This is traditional Vietnamese cooking at its best. It is balancing the yin and yang of flavors- sweet, sour, hot, and salty. Each region of VietNam has its specialties: tasty and healthy. In the north, Hano is known for its PHO noodles and a hot clear beef broth, bursting with flavor from the fresh herbs.

This is traditionally eaten for breakfast, but good at any time of day.

The central region has an abundance of fried, steamed pancakes and dumplings they are perfect dipped in fish sauce or shrimp paste. To be specific, BANH XEO sizzles when cooking in the hot pan, giving this crispy golden pancake its name XEO XEO.

In the south of Vietnam, the famous dishes are hot and sour soup with catfish and caramelized pork cooked in a clay pot. The southerner’s sweet tooth is reflected in their cooking; marinading the pork with sugar, shallots, garlic, chilli, and some extra caramel/molasses for good measure!

Come to a GIoan cooking class to experience all these traditional flavors and more. Learn how to make these dishes and take our family recipes home with you.

We have been offering our cooking classes since 2003. Our dedicated gourmet chefs are Happy Hanh and Vina look forward to sharing their secrets with you.

History

I started cooking when I was 12 years old in my Mother’s restaurant in Saigon where she would serve traditional Vietnamese dishes to the local people and tourists who would visit us every day.  Always fresh, always tasty, and always healthy.

I have taken her experience and passion for food to Hoi An and turned it into a school so that I can pass on everything to you.  We hope that you can take these new skills and appreciation of true Vietnamese flavors back home to share with your friends and family.

I have over 10 years of experience in offering cooking classes. So why not register for our cooking classes teaching how to cook Vietnamese dishes? And you’ll love cooking with our friendly instructor!
