We had a memorable cooking lesson in Hanoi. I have participated in many classes around the world, such as Thailand, Cambodia, China... But with chef Hung, it was a memorable experience. With his professionalism and love for cuisine, he inspired me a lot. By going on a local trip with a lovely cyclo. The ingredients at the market create a new perspective on the people and cuisine here. Some street food creates beauty. The class is full of excitement, cutting ingredients, cooking. For us, it is a memorable memory. Thank you for all . chef pickle

We had a private cooking class that was fantastic. We learned how to make many things, and they all came out great. Hoang was a great teacher and we really enjoyed our three hours we spent with him. We could not have asked for a better experience. He gave us all the recipes in writing as well as via email. It was an experience we will never forget. Highly recommend.

I had an amazing time at this cooking class. I had no prior experience with Asian cooking and learned a tremendous amount! Hung (Pickle) is a true professional yet lighthearted. Importantly, the food we cooked tasted AMAZING. I highly recommend this class.

What an experience. We did this tour on our last day in Vietnam. What a great way to end our trip. We learned how to cook some Vietnamees specialities and went to the market with chef Kung (Pico). He is really passionate about his job as a chef and can bring it very well to the tourists.

We had a great time at the Blue Butterfly. Chris is very friendly, patient, educational and competent! The 4 hours went by very quickly and the food we prepared was delicious! Don’t hesitate if you’re in Hanoi and want to learn how to cook local food :)

Excellent from start to finish. Chef Pickle is excellent sharing his knowledge with humour, making sure everyone is included. The trip to the market is great. Eating the delicious food we prepared with lovely people ended a memorable afternoon.

The most memorable and fun cooking class ever! We are visiting from Chicago and had a lovely host in Chef Huing. He took us on a market visit via pedi cab and showed us major ingredients and took us for snacks on the way. At our class at the restaurant we made ban xia, pho, spring rolls and banana leaf salad. He is very friendly and conversant in English and we learned about the culture as we cooked!

A great experience. Small class (6). Reasonable amount of hands-on time, some useful tips, and recipes to take home.Chef Chris running the course clearly is passionate about what he is doing, which I'm sure is a key factor. One of the highlights was the visit to local market, where Chris got us samples to try of unfamiliar ingredients as well as explaining them. Skilled cooks in the group enjoyed it as well as those with much less cooking experience/skill.

A friend and I took the Hanoi local cuisine class with Chris. I booked on the Blue Butterfly website and got confirmation through email. We had a small class with another couple. Chris was passionate about cooking Vietnamese cuisine. He spoke very good English and led us through preparing the chicken soup before we went on the Market tour. Chris made sure we were all included in the preparation of the dishes and each had plenty of opportunity to participate. We made four dishes and had a great dinner afterwards. The chicken soup and grilled fish were heavenly. It was such a fun time and I highly recommend this cooking class with Chris!

I have an amazing cooking class experience with Chef Chris. He is very kind, knowledgeable, funny, passion and speak English very well. Learned how to make pho, bun cha, spring roll.. all from the scratch and I would give 2 thumbs up for all the preparation and cleanliness in their kitchen. Highly recommended if you have time in Hanoi.
