Wonderful experience, great teacher - The cooking class with Narong was a highlight of our time in Siem Reap. She helped us all to prepare delicious local dishes, with the freshest of ingredients. We were spoilt with three lovely courses of food.

A must try - I am so glad my husband and I had time to take the cooking class. It was a wonderful and delicious experience and we were so happy with our teacher Narong. You get to choose one starter, one main course and one dessert and in the end you get so much food to eat that you feel any dollar you spent was really worth it. The tour around the market was also very informative and fun.

A must-do if you have time to spare - Had a great experience learning to cook traditional Khmer dishes with our instructor Narong. I was lucky to only have one other person attending so was like a private class and we could choose separate dishes to learn (one starter, main and dessert). Starting off at the market, you then go through the prep and cooking together before sitting to enjoy the feast you created at the end. If you book directly through the school it’s a very competitive price and includes hotel pick up.

On top - A superb experience of Khmer cooking classes to do absolutely without any hesitation. Very well organized the tuktuk pick you up from your hotel then visit the market with Narong.
Return to the restaurant for the choice of starter, main course and dessert ( 3 possible choices) and after 2h00 of cooking very well explained at each step, perfect explanations and comes the result and tasting. Thanks to Narong for his professionalism.

A really lovely experience - A really lovely experience. I was the only person who had booked for the evening so I unexpectedly had a private class! I had a lovely instructor (Narong) who helped me choose which menu items to make and then took me around the Old Market, showing me what kinds of rice and noodles they have, and what fresh kefir limes and tamarind look like. Back at the kitchen, we made from scratch a Cambodian spice paste which is the cornerstone of much of their cuisine, and Nargong explained to me how I could adapt the recipe for Nom Bahn Chok and other dishes as well as the Amok Fish we were making that evening. We also made veggie spring rolls and flambé-ed bananas with passion fruit - all very delicious! I wouldn’t have minded some slightly more challenging/unique recipes but Narong made up for it by answering all my questions and helping me understand how I could make other food I had already tried. And it all came to just $19! I would highly recommend!

Khmer Cooking Adventure - We booked this last minute as the restaurant we chose said they would take walk-ins but didn't end up accepting us when we arrived. We were initially unsure about Khmer Gourmet as we didn't know where it Siem Reap it would be held. We took a chance and it did not disappoint! It turned out so much better that our first option as we got to make more dishes for a similar price.
We were picked up via tuk tuk from our hotel and brought to the site of Crep'Italy for our cooking class, located in Pub Street area. Narong, our chef had a kind and gentle spirit. You could see that she loved what she did. When we arrived we chose our starter, main and dessert- we could choose different ones. Then she took us around the market and introduced us to the local produce. When we got upstairs to the kitchen, the area was clean and ingredients were prepped. We were given aprons and chef hats. Narong was a great teacher, modelling what to do and explaining the ingredients and method. We had a blast making fresh and fried spring rolls, chicken amok, beef lok lak, banana flambe and mango sticky rice. It was so much food that we could not finish it. We were presented with a personalised certificate at the end with a link to the recipes. I highly recommend this cooking class. Just watch out for the stairs as it is a little steep!

Wish I chose a different class - The visit to the market was interesting and the class was good. My guide spoke very good English and the food was great. However, as soon as the class was over, I was informed that a the trip back to the hotel was not included in the price. That is completely fine, and I was offered the option to find a ride myself or the guide would order a tuk tuk, which I chose. A few minutes later when I inquired about my ride, I was made to feel like a nuisance. Like she couldn't understand why I couldn't just get my own ride, when I reminded her of our conversation and her offering to order a tuk tuk, she relented and finally did it. While I waited I was made to feel very uncomfortable. As a solo female traveler, I believe women should support one another, not be made to feel less than. There are many other cooking classes to choose from, I wish I would have chosen differently.
