Hoi An Family Cooking ClassMarket visit, hands-on cooking and lunch together
Start with a short walk through the market with your cook: herbs to smell, fruit to try. Then everyone gets a station: kids roll fresh spring rolls and fold pancakes, grown-ups chop and stir. At the end you sit down together and eat what you made.
