Hi there! Nice to meet you

I am Tan. I am a chef, a doctor, and a biologist. I traveled around many different countries across the world and acquainted different lifestyles. Finally I got back to Vietnam where I was born to open HCM Agricultural Villages - HCM cooking school is where I combine all the knowledge I gained into the program called "Healthy Food".

Anyone who loves healthy food, who wants to open a Vietnamese restaurant in his homeland, or wants to stand out in the professional Asian Kitchen should come to me to discover over 1000 recipes, created by myself and immerse themselves in the Vietnamese culture, agriculture and history. I would love to share my passion for cooking and my Vietnamese gardening skills with people who travel to teach them how to combine food and medicine - eating for a healthy life.

Getting to explore the Cu Chi tunnels and have a cooking class with Tan was the most unexpected day - we didn’t realise we would be visiting an organic farm outside the city, learning about the different ingredients, picking them ourselves and getting to cook 4 different meals. All this before visiting the Cu Chi tunnels with a private tour guide. It was the hottest day ever but we had a wonderful time getting to chat, cook and explore!A most unexpected day in the best way

We were picked up by Linh at our hotel. The farm was lovely and peaceful. We picked fresh ingredients for our meal and then were instructed in cooking a huge lunch. We learned some shortcuts and were also given the recipes at the end. We had a tour of the tunnels after lunch which was pretty standard…being less crowded there in the afternoon was a bonus.You will be full!

I had a wonderful experience with Alice doing both the cooking course and a visit to the cu chi tunnels. Alice is very attentive to our needs. On the cooking side she explains everything from the ingredients and their uses and the principles in Vietnamese cooking. It was a great experience. As for the visit to the cu chi tunnels, it was amazing to learn how the people managed to put up resistance to the American fire power from the ground and the air. It was worth a visit and I would encourage anyone to make it a must visit site.Cu chi tunnels and cooking course

We had a wonderful experience with Alice and Chef Tan. The day started at his farm, where we picked fresh vegetables, learning about the ingredients that make Vietnamese cuisine so special. We then used what we picked to cook four delicious dishes, guided by the Chef’s expertise. The food was fresh and extremely flavorful. Afterwards, we went to the Cu Chi Tunnels, where Alice shared fascinating stories about the Vietnam War and the tunnels’ history. It was a perfect mix of hands-on cooking, cultural discovery, and historical learning. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Vietnam!Great day

My family had a wonderful experience joining Linh as our chef at the HMC cook g school. The experience of farm to table was great for our 3 children to get a better understanding of the good cycle and the food we cooked was amazing! Would highly recommend!!!

Aura was an excellent tour guide, making sure that I was comfortable throughout the entire tour and waking up so early to meet me at my hotel. She thoroughly explained the background behind each ingredient of each dish we cooked and was indefatigable in her energy when cooking as well as guiding me through the Cu Chi tunnels. I 100% would recommend Aura and Tan's Cooking class to any future visitors - you will not regret it.Excellent Cooking Tour by Aura

I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. Absolute 5 star ⭐️ day. From start to finish it was brilliant. Picking our own herbs from the garden and making 5 mouth watering dishes. Our ever patient Chef making it all so easy. Eating the products of our labour was even better. I have my certificate on the wall 😂😂😂and have repeated some of the recipes at home . Thank you 😊 I am now a Chef 😀😀🤔🤔
