Passion meets purpose in authentic Cambodian Cooking Class! Don't miss out on a great Cambodia experience - If you are reading this review - like me - before booking a cooking class in Cambodia, Siem Reap, you are scrolling through the many cooking classes on offer in Cambodia to get the best one. ! My advice is forget the rest, and try this cooking class. It is harder for find authentic experiences as a tourist these days. But this is definitely an authentic and fun experience in Cambodia especially, visiting the local market beforehand. Not only that you know that the money you spend on the cooking class is going to a grass roots business in Cambodia - which is really important. As a family this was a highlight of our trip. The cooking environment was safe and clean aswell which is important. Enjoy.!

Delicious cookery experience! - We loved this activity! Sophia is so kind and helpful, Chef Prai is an awesome cook, and the the other guests were friendly. We learnt how to make three delicious recipes so lunch was a feast! Logistics and comms were clear and easy. Highly recommend a morning spent in this way.

A lovely experience! Learned a lot and the food is delicious! - This is a lovely experience! We met Sophia, our cooking leader, at the Siem Reap open air market and she took us on a walking tour of the stalls and showed us the vegetables, herbs and fruits of the region and bought some of the ingredients for the meal we would be making. Back at the open air cooking studio we were introduced to the chef who demonstrated each course before we made it. Each of us had our own station with knife, cutting board, mortar and pestle and burner and all the ingredients laid out on waiting boards. We pounded, sliced, diced and rolled our way through chicken curry, spring rolls and bananas in palm sugar, then sat down and enjoyed the results in a pleasant outdoor shady dining pavilion by a turtle pond. A complementary cookbook was included.

Highly Recommend - Our tour guide, Sophia, was phenomenal! First we toured a local market. Very authentic and NOT touristy. She explained to us how various items in the market are prepared and we even sampled a few items. After about 45 minutes, we went to the outdoor cooking class. The setting was beautiful. The chef and Sophia taught us how to prepare spring rolls, a chicken curry, and a banana dessert. All delicious. Especially enjoyed receiving a cook book versus a certificate (I mean, who needs a certificate!)

An Awesome Experience! - My daughters (17 years & 12 yeats) and I booked this cooking class before we travelled from Australia. It is on our highlight lost for Siem Reap. My youngest was a bit nervous about cooking but our host/guide Sophya and our chef/teacher Preya soon put those nerves to rest. The tour of the market with Sophya was very interesting and informative. After we grabbed some ingredients we went to the beautiful village where our cooking stations, utensils and ingredients were set out in an idyllic location right beside a small lake. We made rice paper rolls, chicken curry and bananas in palm sugar. Absolutely perfect flavours and great instruction from Preya and Sophya. We are our creations in a small pavillion right by the lake. It was really fun and the girls and I learned a lot. Sophya & Preya are both very kind and helpful and took great care of us. Our family highly recommends this tour, a really great experience.

Highly Recommend - Awesome experience. It was fun, we learned a lot and had a delicious lunch afterward in a beautiful setting. Our guide Sofir and our chef/teacher Pry (sorry for the name misspellings) were so professional, friendly and knowledgeable. We started our class at the market to purchase the ingredients and then made 3 dishes from scratch. We received a great cookbook to take home containing the dishes we made plus other traditional Cambodian recipes. Highly recommend!

We already tried it at home and it was delicious! - We loved the setting, its quiet, at the pond with lots of greenery. Our option was vegetarian and we totally enjoyed it, it was a great introduction to Cambodian cuisine. We visited the market before and it was also very educational.

Fun cooking class with lovely people - My boyfriend and I booked the cooking class and both of us were satisfied with the whole experience. First we went to the market and got some stuff. After a short ride with a tuktuk, we arrived at a pretty scenic place. While cooking, we had a nice view at the small lake right next to the building. The staff has been lovely and fun to talk to, and the time passed so fast. The food we did was amazing, and you get a cooking book to take home with even more recipes to try. Loved every minute there. Thank you so much!
