Cook, share, and enjoy authentic Vietnamese family life with ingredients harvested fresh from our garden.
Where Every Meal Tells a Family Story
Most cooking classes begin in a kitchen.
Ours begins in the garden.
Harvest fresh ingredients, prepare traditional Vietnamese dishes, and share a meal together.
This isn't a cooking studio.
It's our family home, where every meal is prepared and shared together.

Meet the Family Behind Trang An Farmhouse
For generations, our family has lived from this land.
Everything you harvest, cook and share comes from the same garden that feeds our family every day.
