My Grandma’s Home Cooking
Description
Thom runs this cooking class out of her family’s actual home on an island outside Hoi An, which is why it feels nothing like the hotel-organized versions in town. You start with a market tour where she walks you through the ingredients, then take a boat to her grandmother’s village to cook and eat together as a group.
The food is the real point here – reviewers consistently mention leaving overstuffed, including a decent tuna steak that shows up toward the end (skip breakfast, seriously). Thom speaks excellent English and spends as much time talking about Vietnamese culture and daily life as she does teaching recipes.
Dietaries get handled without drama – tofu or pork swaps for non-seafood eaters, no negotiation required. The day runs long enough that it fills a full day, which is either perfect or something to plan around depending on your schedule.
Highlights
- The setting is an actual family home reached by boat, not a tourist kitchen
- You eat a lot (come hungry - the tuna steak alone gets its own mentions)
- Dietary substitutions handled without fuss
- No real concerns emerge from reviews, though the boat-and-village format means it's weather-dependent
