FLAVORS OF HANOI – VIETNAMESE COOKING CLASS WITH MARKET TOUR

In Hanoi, cooking is not learned: it is heard, smelled, intuited.

Like an ancient language that vibrates between motorcycles, steam and kaffir lime leaves.

It all begins at the local market, a labyrinth of aromas and sounds: women in conical hats, still-living fish, piles of fresh herbs, sweet and spicy spices. The chef guides you through the stalls, explaining the essence of each ingredient: cilantro, lemongrass, fish sauce, bamboo shoots.

Back in the kitchen, the ritual continues: fresh rolls are rolled in moist rice paper, nuoc cham is mixed, pho is simmered, banh xeo is fried. Colors vibrate, textures crunch. Hands do more than cook: they connect.

In Vietnam, eating is about sharing. Each dish is served in the center and eaten respectfully, with fingers and chopsticks, slowly.
