Chris was great. Really interesting tour of the local market. We were well looked after by Darwin in the cooking class and made some lovely fresh and tasty food. A morning great which I'd highly recommend

We had a small group (just the 2 of us). Pick up by Chris in tuk tuk was a good start - met us with water & fresh fruit to snack on. He took us to local produce markets & explained local currency, cuisine, produce & general lifestyle. Then we arrived at the location for Lily’s cooking class, led by Darwin. He was very welcoming, calming, thorough & attentive in his instruction on the 3 dishes we prepared. He also took some good photos (attached) of us while we got our hands dirty... so to speak. My partner & I both enjoyed the market experience plus learning to cook / prepare some new dishes, but of course the best part was eating them! Yummo!

Chris picked us up from our hostel and drove us to the nearby market for ingredients. He was really knowledgable about local customs & produce. After we had bought everything we needed (which only took 10 minutes) we headed to the cooking school - a gorgeous outside kitchen located in the garden of their house - hence the name “Lily’s Secret Garden” Our chef, Darwin, was really friendly and explained all steps of the recipes very clearly. We made fresh spring rolls, Lort Cha fried noodles with chicken and finally Pumpkin in coconut sweet cream. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was super relaxed and we were also given a cook book to take away with us - not to mention our certificates! Highly recommended!

This is a fantastic introduction to local cuisine : simple but delicious and accessible to anyone. Our tour round the market was fascinating and our guide was very knowledgeable. Our chef for the day was patient and made you feel at home and even took pictures as keepsakes for us. A great morning and I can thoroughly recommend it.

We booked this class the 2 days prior and it was a wonderful experience. Chris picked us up from our hotel. We went to a local market and bought a few items we needed for the class. Once we arrived at the facility we met Darwin and he lead our cooking class. It was a very easy class with amazing food. I really like the format- we cooked everything and then ate. Other people assisted serving us so all our meals were still warm. I do recommend bringing some bug spray, but if you forget they do have some there.

Great experience cooking local Cambodian food. I love the curry chicken most! Appreciated with chef Darwin's patience in teaching us. Thank you Chris for taking care all of us during our stay!

Had a great experience cooking 3 dishes, and everyone at Lily’s secret garden was very nice and friendly. They even adjusted the menu for a vegetarian one for me. Definitely recommend the experience. It was really fun

We absolutely loved our cooking class. Chris was so kind and informative and the food we made was gorgeous. The cook book and certificate at the end was a very nice touch. We would definitely recommend this class!

The class was great, we learnt how to make some lovely authentic Cambodian recipes and i would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in cooking or who just want an interesting activity for a day in Siem Reap!

This class was amazing and more worth it than I could have imagined. I wish I had taken it first day of my trip in Cambodia, since Chris gave us tons of helpful tips and insights on Cambodian food, culture, etc. that would have made me appreciate my stay there more. We made three lovely dishes, after which I was stuffed at the end. At the same time, they felt easy enough that I could make them myself at home. We got a little recipe book and a certificate, which is always nice, of course.

I was very impressed. Host and chef were very friendly and took time to answer questions and explain the different ingredients. It was easy to prepare the food as everything was well laid out and instructions easy to follow. Food was amazing and we even got a recipe book to take home. They also cater for dietary restrictions. Thoroughly enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend.

Great time spent at Lily's Cooking class, we started with an interesting market tour, deff recommended for 1st timers to SEA or foreigners from western countries with little exposure to such an experience. The class is at their home, lead by a great Chef Davin & his assistant, went smoothly and they teach you easy stuff you can deffinitely replicate at home. Got a small cert &a cooking book. We had the morning class and loved it.

Everything was perfect from the food to the environment and very well organized

Great Cambodian cooking class as well as great local food market experience!

We absolutely loved our experience with Lily’s Secret Garden. We felt like we got a truly authentic experience, and Chris was a wonderful guide in the local Cambodian market. The food was surprisingly easy to make, and we loved that they sent us home with our very own cook books. We would highly recommend taking this class while you visit Cambodia!

The class was so much fun, with only 4 of us, and going round the market with Ben was so interesting. Highly recommend this, also the cookery school is not for profit as they use the money to help orphaned kids.

All of our interactions with Chris and his staff were top notch. Darwin was very easy to interact with and made the class fun. His giggle was infectious. We loved this experience and will recommend it to any of our friends visiting Siem Reap.

Ben is engaging and explains everything clearly. The food is, of course, delicious!

I loved the food, everything very well explained and the visit to the market was great. It's a beautiful job that Ben does with the children of the orphanage. The classes I took were vegetarian and the menu was excellent.

We had a great evening at Lilly’s Secret Garden, Chris was really knowledgable around the local market. The cooking facilities were spotlessly clean and plenty of space. The chef lead us step by step to create 3 traditional Khmer dishes! Overall a great evening!

Must book this class! Authentic, local experience from beginning to end. Great market tour where we shopped for ingredients with Chris, prepared them at Chris and Lily’s home under the excellent guidance of Chef Darwin and after all our hard work, we feasted upon our delicious creations!

We had a fabulous time at Lily's Secret Garden Cooking class! Chris, Lily's husband picked us up on time from our hotel and took us to a local market to pick out fresh ingredients (including freshly made coconut cream!) for our class. Chris is very personable and did a great job explaining the different fruits/veggies we saw in the market, how much they should cost etc. At their lovely home, we met chef Darwin, who taught us how to prepare three dishes, a green papaya and chicken salad, chicken red curry and a yummy banana in coconut cream dessert. (We did not meet Lily as she was working in their in town restaurant). We all (we are a family of 4) really enjoyed this fun, hands on, experience and our food was delicious, ample and authentic. I would HIGHLY recommend this class, BOOK NOW!

I was the only customer and it was quite far away from Siem Reap. We visited the local market (45 minutes with tuk-tuk) and my guide was introducing me to local vegetables and herbs, which I hadn't tasted before. We prepared Cambodian spring rolls, chicken amok and pumpkin coconut custard. Everything was super tasty and well organized. Thank you!

Really engaging and insightful into Cambodian cooking. Enjoyed visiting the market and learning about traditional cooking/ingredients and what dishes they’re typically used in. Went with a friend who was vegan and although the dish originally contained meat it was easy to just use replacements and alter the dishes.

The class and market tour was terrific. Chris was very knowledgeable as he explained the market culture, and how to pick out the fruits and vegetables we needed. The cooking class was enjoyable and the recipes we made were very tasty. The atmosphere was very professional. The small group made it very intimate and relaxing. We recommended this to some fellow travelers this morning. Great food and good value!

Great organization; small size group (6 people) & the set-up enables you to cook and individualize your meal (mild-medium-spicy) given that you actually cook your entire meal! Great environment and lovely staff! Highly recommended

A great travel indeed together with my husband. If you want to have a great adventure, likes to eat and cook, then this cooking class is perfect! Learning traditional and authentic Cambodian dishes from ancient Khmer Empire is such a unique cooking experience. A lot of techniques old and new were taught to us by truly an expert chef. Great to have a bond with my husband through cooking it made our relationship stronger. Plus we had a wonderful and delicious meal! I highly recommend it!

This was a great experience, exploring the markets and learning about the Cambodian culture through food. Plus the food we made was very tasty. A mango chicken salad, a red curry and a coconut and banana dessert.

From start to finish this experience was enjoyable and I learnt a lot. The Chef was patient, funny and made you feel like you could cook. Chris’ market and local knowledge rounded off the experience. Couldn’t have asked for a better class.
