From Hue’s market stalls to your own lunch

Look over fresh herbs, mangoes and everyday ingredients at a local market, then follow their flavours into the kitchen. The scent of lemongrass, the sharp freshness of green mango and a bowl of peanut dipping sauce give this Hue cooking class a practical connection to the food on your plate.

With an English-speaking chef, work through a menu of green mango salad with shrimp, chicken with lemongrass and chilli, nem lui and Hue-style peanut sauce. Sit down afterwards to enjoy what you have prepared. This food-focused experience adds a hands-on meal to your time in Hue.

Tell us your date, group size and hotel in central Hue. We will check the class schedule and any dietary requests before confirming your quotation.

Notice the ingredients before you cook

The market visit gives the meal a starting point. Look at the herbs, seafood, meat and fruit on the stalls, ask about the ingredients used in the class and take photographs as you explore. The market visit and kitchen session belong to the same programme; the precise market and venue are confirmed with your booking.

Four preparations, different flavours

Green mango and shrimp bring a fresh contrast to the warm chicken with lemongrass and chilli. Nem lui introduces pork shaped around lemongrass skewers, while the peanut sauce shows how a dip can bring the meal together. The chef guides the practical session, and the dishes you prepare form the included lunch.

If a particular dish matters to you, tell us before booking. We will check your request with the class provider and explain any agreed menu change in your quotation.

A meal to share, with arrangements made clear

Central-Hue hotel pickup and drop-off by car, the market visit, cooking ingredients, an English-speaking chef and one lunch are listed in the package. A welcome drink and a drink with the meal are included; extra drinks and personal purchases are separate. The quotation confirms the schedule, venue, group arrangements and any supplements for your date.
