Delicious food and fun experience! - We had such a fun and interactive cooking experience, along with a delicious meal to finish off! All of the family are so friendly, helpful and funny with lots of great stories and a wealth of cooking ability. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Phnom Penh to truly understand some Cambodian and Khmer culture, and to try some tasty food. Tom and Sophie

Just do it! - My partner and I went and had the best time ever! Soppa met us on the other side of the ferry jetty with cousin brother driving we headed to the garden and then to their house. It felt like cooking with family, because we were cooking with a Soppa and her family in their beautiful bungalow. She spoke amazing English and told all we needed to know as well as taking us to her garden and local market for fresh ingredients that haven’t been genetically modified or have any pesticides in them. We made a chicken and tofu amok which was full of flavour. We made it in the most traditional way possible, chopping the ingredients together, smashing everything together with a big mortar and pestle and then blended it all together before steaming it with the protein. There’s a little more to the process but you’ll have to book it to learn the intricacies. This cooking class suits smaller groups of people, we went as a couple and cooked with three other people in the kitchen. Soppa was an amazing teacher but honestly felt like a close friend by the end of the session. We sat and ate with everyone at the end before we were sent back to the ferry jetty. Very chill and wholesome vibes the whole time, one of my most favourite things I did in Cambodia. Also we made dessert, choose the potato option, trust me and Soppa.

Incredible cooking class! - The whole experience was incredible. Going to the local market to hand pick our ingredients for dinner (while also trying some tasty local snacks). The house was beautiful and it was so nice to meet her wonderful and kind family. Getting to make the dinner, from the place mats, grinding the spices and putting everything together made the already delicious meal even better. Overall and awesome experience that both my friend and I loved. One our best meals in Cambodia!

BOOK IT!!! - If you're looking for a great Phnom Penh experience, just book this. You can read the review if you want, but save yourself some time. Book the cooking class, eat the meal. Having done those, we wish we'd also stayed the night. 10/10. 5 Stars. Whatever your grading scale, this experience is a MUST.
The hostess is gracious, fun and friendly. Her family are a pleasure to meet and help with the food preparation and cooking. Her home is gorgeous, with a beautiful entertaining area and a lawn my dad would be proud of.
The cooking of the dishes is light-hearted, informative and entertaining. We were made to feel super welcome, and the food was sublime. Oh my God, it was good. 100% the best thing we have done in Phnom Penh.

Best local Khmer cooking class - The cooking with Sophors was my best local experience so far. It was really fun and also very interesting to see the whole market and meet her whole family. I had an unforgettable evening with very nice people and was able to learn many things and try new things. Fully recommended. :)

A relaxed, enjoyable learning experience - This was a great opportunity to learn something about Cambodian daily life as well as cuisine, as the location is outside the city in a more typical large village. We visited the market to buy ingredients, so were able to ask questions about the foods, quite a few of which were new to us. We were welcomed in the hostess' home and set to "work" assisted by various family members, who were all friendly and helpful. The cooking itself brought in some techniques that were new and the end results were delicious. The entire experience was unhurried and very much like being with good friends you haven't seen in a while, even though we'd just met. One of the most pleasant evenings I've had in a long while, and I didn't feel like a tourist.
