Siem Reap Cooking Classes

Before class, we explored a local market and observed how the locals obtain food. It was a great opportunity to learn where the ingredients in our dishes came from! The cooking class itself was full of hospitality! The staff member taught us step-by-step how to cook delicious dishes. Learning about the local food culture was a wonderful experience.

2 of us joined this class of 6. Pickup bus Tuk tuk on time. Instructors were very clear and kept us all involved with a range of recipes. The food was tasty and plentiful. A trip to the market was offeeed but we had a following appointment so had to skip it sadly Highly recommend this course

Kong is an amazing cook and teacher! He was patient and explained all the ingredients and processes in detail. He helped us understand the way of life, sourcing of ingredients and the process of making delicious food! Kong and his team made us feel welcome and on our way to becoming masterchefs! Recommend to every visitor to Siem Reap!

I loved learning to make some of these and delicious dishes we had enjoyed in Cambodia. We had the opportunity to visit a local market where many of the ingredients are sourced, learning some more about local life. King was a great host, very entertaining and very knowledgeable. And the food was plentiful and delicious!

Kong was great! He was an awesome guide and he was very fun to be around. Totally worth attending this class. We got to pick and choose 4 dishes to create

Sorya took us to a local market and afterwards we cooked a full menu. Everything was good, also the pick-up from our hotel worked well.

This class was a fun way to spend the evening and see a bit of life outside the main centre of Siem Reap. There are lots of dishes to choose from and you can make four each, including a whole vegetarian menu. They were also accommodating for gluten free. It was very efficiently run and the teachers and guides were all so kind and made it a really fun experience. They send you the recipes afterwards and also lots of photos taken during the class.

We loved the whole experience, picked up in the hotel, visit to the market and understand better the local produce and seasonality, choosing what to cook and be guided by the best team. We had a feast ! We loved the environment, the team guiding us and all passed by very quickly! Highly recommended

It was truely amazing...the team so friendly...the venue clean ...i can recommend this experience ...5 stars all the way...

Absolutely fabulous cooking experience with professional and friendly staff. I would recommend anyone wanting a real food experience in Siem Reap to call Bong Sen.

We started with a fascinating tour of a market for locals with our excellent chef and guide, Jason/T, who named ingredients, talked about the people and their lives, and we compared prices with UK. Then into the village for the cooking class. Jason is a really good teacher who put everyone at ease and worked with us each step of the way. He was funny and considerate. We made banana blossom salad, chicken amok and pumpkin custard which were absolutely delicious. Jason was able to suggest alternative ingredients for things we can't get back home and talked about his career as a chef and other jobs, the orphanage they set up and life in Cambodia. It was so interesting. We also had a little look around the site and saw rice growing at different stages. The cooking was outside (under cover) and on wood stoves. We all really enjoyed it, even our teenager who had been a bit nervous. A great introduction to Cambodian cooking. Definitely recommend.

The visit to the market was very interesting. The herbs in the garden were wonderful and it was a great experience to smell all the different ingredients. The instructor was very kind and explained the cooking in an easy to understand way, and I was able to make Khmer dishes. They were very delicious. I highly recommend this class.

I booked this course for me, my partner and my mum as something fun to do one evening while we were in Siem Reap. We ended up being the only ones in the class and had a really hands on and personal experience which was amazing. We were collected from our hotel by tuktuk and taken to a local market which was fab, then driven to the location of the cooking class. All the staff involved were super helpful and really made our evening one to remember- plus the food was delicious! Perfect activity year round, but especially in the wet season as the kitchen is outdoors yet still well covered.

Our guide and instructor Sorya was informative, thoughtful, thorough, and fun! We had such an interesting look into Khmer cuisine. Learned about market shopping, toured the garden where all the herbs and vegetables we cooked with are grown and made delicious courses with excellent ingredients. 10/10 would recommend!

It was a pleasant and enjoyable experience in a quiet place far from the city center. Here, almost all of the ingredients we cook with are grown directly in the garden and farm next door, so we can eat the freshest dishes. During the cooking class, all staff spared no effort to provide cool bottled water, protection from insects, and temperature control. They thoroughly protected us from almost all hazards such as knife cuts, scalding, and oil hazards were eliminated while cooking. In particular, the teacher's English skills were very good, and he told us many interesting and detailed stories about Khmer cuisine, as well as Cambodia's history, culture, and citizens' lives. I highly recommend this cooking class experience to anyone visiting Siem Reap.
