Discover how traditional Vietnamese cuisines are prepared thru step-to-step guidance from Mama Lan, then cook and taste your own Vietnamese home-style dishes.
Xin chào from Sài Gòn, Viet Nam!

I'm Lan, born in Hanoi but rooted and grown up in Saigon. Some close friends dearly call me Mama Lan and I've been cooking authentic Vietnamese dishes from across regions, including elegant Northern, flavorful Central and sweet Southern cuisines for more than 30 years.

When I travelled throughout Vietnam and some places around the world, I realized that nothing can beat local dishes in telling great culture narratives. So now it is my pleasure to share our Vietnamese stories through showing you how to cook our authentic dishes.

We are a group of cooking passionates; my friends Lua's Kitchen, Hoa's Kitchen and I are co-hosts. We have hosted 3000+ guests around the world for more than 6 years. We specialize in authentic and healthy home dishes with high quality ingredients.

In Mama Lan's Home Style Cooking Class, I will give you detailed instructions of how to cook traditional homemade Vietnamese dishes from scratch, followed exactly the way my Grand Mom and my Mom taught me to do.

You can choose a 3-course menu based on my list of popular Vietnamese dishes. You can also ask me for your customized order that is out of this menu, we can certainly discuss.

Here is my list (vegetarian substitutes are available upon request):
- Bún thịt nướng/ Bún bò Nam Bộ - Stir-fried beef/grilled chicken/pork noodles
- Bánh xèo - Pancake with chicken/pork/prawn
- Bánh mì Hội An - HoiAn style bread with (pork) charsiu
- Chả giò Sài Gòn - SaiGon style fried spring rolls with chicken/pork
- Chả ram miền Trung - Central style fried spring rolls with prawn
- Bánh cuốn - Rice crepe rolls
- Gỏi - Mango/papaya/pomelo/cabbage salads
- Cơm tấm Saì Gòn - SaiGon style grilled pork with broken rice
- Cơm gà Hội An - HoiAn style chicken rice
- Cá nướng/hấp cuốn bánh tráng rau thơm - Grilled/steamed fish wrapped in rice paper & herbs

Within ~120mins, you will be thoroughly guided how to cook the authentic Vietnam taste food with full of tips and also be learned about our rich culture reflected in each of every dishes.

My kitchen works best for a small group of 4-5 people. Please be kindly noted that we'll cook the same menu together with a home-setting (no separate station for each guest).

To ensure the best quality of the class, please book me at least 3 hours in advance.
Please also notice that Wet Market Visit is not included in the price but I would love to take you to discover with a surcharge if required.

I hope my stories of cooking culture as well as the knowledge on Vietnamese ingredients and special cooking techniques imparted in my kitchen classes will enhance your cooking Vietnamese dishes experience and help you keep a long and sweet memory about our country.
