Great experience that will last forever with my best Cambodian Chef Sao Sophen! - On May 23rd, 2025, I had the privilege of taking a cooking class with the talented Chef Sao Sophen. This was my final day of my Cambodia vacation, after four prior days of exploring various experiences. However, the cooking class was still a great time for a new challenge, teaching me essential skills such as shopping and buying from an authentic Cambodian market, the beauty of Khmer cuisine, and the art of creating delicious dishes using essential ingredients. I was fortunate enough to have a private half day class with Chef Sophen, who made me feel at ease and ensured that I had a fun and memorable learning experience. I truly appreciate all the valuable lessons I gained from my teacher 😄. Although I’m not typically a home cook, this class encouraged me to host a dinner for my friend featuring Khmer chicken curry and a sweet dessert after came back home. Thank you very much, Chef!

Delicious & Fun Learning! - Thank you Chef Sao Sophen! We learned so much about Khmer culture by shopping and cooking with you. We asked so many questions, and you had a wonderful and informative answers for each one! Loved that we used reusable shopping bags and containers at the market to avoid single use plastic. Your instructions were easy to follow and we are sure we can make this at home. Thank you!

Going to the market was a... - Going to the market was a wonderful experience. We bought all our produce for the class and the food was excellently prepared. Our chef showed us how to prep all our veg and then how to cook our meal. Her English was understandable, for the most part.

Simple and Delicious, Yum! - We made a trip to the markets to buy our ingredients and then back to the school. Our chef was awesome, showing us what to do and then explaining it again so we couldn't go wrong. The recipes were simple and delicious. My family has requested we cook these recipes at least once a month when we get home. Well worth the experience!

Charming Khmer Cuisine - We had a fantastic time at this Cambodian cooking class! It ended up being a private session for just my mom and me, which made it feel extra special. Our instructor, Sao Sophen, was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took us on a guided visit to the local market, where we picked out fresh ingredients for our dishes—spring rolls, a flavorful curry, and a delicious banana-pineapple dessert topped with a rich coconut, palm sugar, and pineapple-caramel sauce. The instruction was clear and easy to follow, and the final results were absolutely delicious. Even though we didn’t stay at La Rose Suites, where the class is held, the location itself was lovely and full of charm. Highly recommend this class for anyone looking to immerse themselves in Cambodian cuisine in a hands-on, memorable way!

Great hands on cooking experience and delicious food. - The morning was well organised with a trip by tuktuk to the local market where the group chose the produce we needed for our 3 recipes. It was interesting to have the cook with us who could tell us about some of the more unusual veg and spices. Back at the class, we then had our individual work stations to make spring rolls, yellow chicken curry (amok) and a banana cooked in coconut sauce for dessert. It was all well set out and easy to follow and we enjoyed eating our meal as a group once everything was cooked. A really enjoyable morning and we were given the recipes to try when we get home.
