A must do activity in Siem Reap if you love food - Such a great cooking school where you actually get to do the cooking. Sopheap and Prey are wonderful. They help you step by step explaining what you are doing, how to do it, and all the spices and ingredients you are using. We started in the market where Sopheap explained all the various foods and talked about how they are used in Cambodian cooking. The kitchen is a beautiful space with fans to keep you cool and a lovely turtle pond to amuse you when not cooking. Everything is very clean. Before starting the class there were mangos and tea for refreshments. After the class, the food was beautifully plated an presented on a patio for dining on the food that had been cooked. A cook book was also provided with many Cambodian recipes to take home. I can highly recommend this class.

A fun, informative and delicious experience - The market tour and shopping with Sofia was excellent, and the cooking class with she and Prey was great. Everything was well organised and professional and most importantly we learnt how to prepare and cook ( and eat!!) beautiful local food. Would give this six stars if I could.

They teach you about the cuisine and ingredients and guide you through every step. I learned so much and can’t wait to make these recipes at home. Could not have been a better experience!

Amazing experience - An amazing experience and a must try if you are visiting Siem Reap. Seamless pickup and drop off from our hotel. Our guide and chef were very knowledgeable and friendly and really helped us to understand Khmer cuisine. The facilities are also very modern and situated beside a lake which was very peaceful.

Amazing experience - An informative tour of the local open market, with detailed expanations and plenty of photos. The destination for the class was impectable. Clean and fully stocked. The instructor is a 'master chef' that has worked at several local hotels and professionally trained. I enjoyed personal attention and instruction for techniques. The food was delicious. I was impressed with the English skills from the tuk-tuk driver to the instructor. I'd definitely recommend this activity.

The best experience ever !!!!!! - The food was amazing, and you got to cook everything yourself it was really hands on. The chef was super helpful and knowledgeable. My guide Sophia was so knowledgeable and took you into the markets and could tell you all about the produce Cambodian life and more. She gave me a personal insight into Cambodian life. The tuk tuk driver hav lim I ended up using for my whole stay in siem reap. He has so much knowledge about Cambodia and hearing his stories is something I will never forget. He organised a private tour for me to ankor watt . The tour was out of this world and the tour guide also had stories I will never forget . This tour has far exceeded my expectations. If you are coming to Cambodia and like cooking this tour Is a must!! And if you want an amazing knowledgeable driver hav lim is the man ! Also I forgot to take pictures of the desert and I half started eating my curry before I remembered . You can tell the food is amazing cause I didn’t even wait to get a picture 😂 I just devoured it

Cooking class in Siem Reap - What a great experience from beginning to end. I have done a lot of cooking classes in a lot of countries and this one was one of the best. The two women were professional, knowledgeable and talented. The market visit and cooking venue were so interesting! The tuk tuk pick up and drop off was convenient and punctual. I’m so glad I chose this class!
