Caman Cooking class & Culinary culture

After harvesting vegetables and herbs from the garden, guests join a traditional Vietnamese cooking class, where local chefs guide them through the preparation of signature dishes. One of the highlights is making “mi la” (Vietnamese rice sheets) – a distinctive culinary technique that guests can try themselves using freshly picked ingredients.

The class is always lively and friendly, filled with laughter as everyone tastes, experiments, and shares the joy of cooking together. At the end of the session, participants gather to enjoy their homemade dishes in a warm and natural setting – a delightful and unforgettable culinary experience.
