Hoi An: Cooking with Chef Hoang
Hands-on cooking with a trained local chef — northern and central Vietnamese dishes, all ingredients included. Sit down and eat everything you cook.
He walked away from a lucrative career in marketing for something more urgent — a desire to cook. What followed was formal training in high-end western hotels, then years in the north eating his way through Hanoi's lanes, picking up the techniques and flavour logic that set northern Vietnamese cooking apart from the rest of the country.
His roots, though, are in the centre — the Quảng region, whose cuisine is among Vietnam's most distinctive. The fragrant, herb-driven family recipes he grew up on never left him. This class runs on both: professional technique applied to the food he ate as a kid, taught in a restored old house that feels like someone's home because it basically is one.
You cook dishes that carry his whole trajectory — north and centre, hotel kitchen and family table. It tastes like it took a lifetime to learn, because it did.
