About the Class
Roll up your sleeves and cook your way through Vietnam — modern, sustainable and made entirely from plants. A small, friendly group in the heart of Athens, with a local host guiding you step by step. Because we think that's simply the more delicious way forward.
Vietnamese cuisine is about lightness and contrast — fresh herbs against a rich broth, crispy against soft, sweet against sour. In this class you cook ten dishes that capture that spirit from the ground up: a sizzling Banh Xeo rice pancake filled and folded at the table, a proper Pho broth built slowly with star anise and ginger, Goi Cuon summer rolls wrapped in rice paper by hand, a Banh Mi assembled with care and a Chuoi Nuong — grilled banana in sticky rice — to finish. Working in small teams, each group takes the lead on 2–3 dishes depending on complexity. We cook together, then we eat together — everything out at once, Vietnamese style.
No experience needed. Our hosts guide you through every step — this is cooking, not a lecture. All levels welcome.
SIGNATURE DISH
Banh Xeo — Stuffed Rice Pancake
Vietnam's most theatrical dish. A thin rice flour batter, tinted golden with turmeric, poured into a hot pan and filled with bean sprouts, mushrooms and fresh herbs — then folded in half and slid onto the table still sizzling. You wrap pieces in lettuce with mint and dip into nuoc cham. It's hands-on, communal and completely unlike anything else in the class. The sound alone — that fierce sizzle when the batter hits the pan — is something guests remember long after.
