The "Hanoi and Northern Highlands" class is a fabulous introduction to Vietnamese food. The class will also make you aware of how easy Vietnamese food is to make yourself, even if you are not an expert chef.

Day Trip To Van Phuc Silk Village On The Outskirts Of Hanoi
Van Phuc Silk Village, located roughly 10 kilometers southwest from Hanoi's Old Quarter, has been a silk production village for over 1,200 years. It is the country’s oldest silk village and is said to produce the best silk in Vietnam. Van Phuc is a very small village that has lost much of its ancient appeal and has transformed into a busy tourist destination. However, that does not mean it isn't worth visiting, especially as it is such convenient day trip. Additionally, most of the silk items you find for sale in Hanoi's Old Quarter are made in Van Phuc and transported to the Old Quarter, making prices in the Old Quarter higher for the exact same products.
