Wonderful evening! - Dee was amazing! She was kind, funny, and a very good teacher! We felt welcomed from the moment we walked in… and we quickly connected over picking herbs, going to the market, and choosing our meals! The chicken curry was one of the best I have ever eaten (and I have eaten many!)! The food, atmosphere and hospitality were outstanding! I highly recommend you take this class on your next visit!

Amazing Food - The cooking class was amazing. We made the best food that we had during our stay in Cambodia. Dee was amazing very helpful and kind. It was super cool to get all of our veggies straight from the garden where we where cooking. It was an amazing time and not only was it a highlight of our time in Cambodia but a highlight of our entire trip in Asia.

Best cooking class in Siam Reap, Cambodia!!!! - I can’t say enough about how cool this cooking class was! We were picked up at our hotel and brought to the market where we were able to see all of the fruits vegetables, fish and meats for sale. Then we went to a beautiful area and began the cooking class.. We learned how to cook Vietnamese spring rolls, morning, glory, vegetable, three different salads, chicken curry, and a fish dish. We each got to choose what we wanted to cook. We learned a ton and the chef Dee was amazing. She was very funny and engaging! She was also very informative and we learned a ton about indigenous vegetables and spices. We had a great time and ate a ton! I highly highly recommend this tour. There are many tours at hotels and other's but this one was very authentic. We always felt safe and were in great hands with both Dee and her husband as our guide.

Cambodian Real food Experience - It has been a real pleasure to be in a local environment and be with its people who want to transmit the Cambodian gastronomic culture to you: Amok with chicken is a real delight, it is amazing, I hope to do it back to my Canarian paradise. Thank you Dee for sharing your time in teaching me how to make these three plans.

Unmissable experience for the food and the company - What a fantastic experience with Dee. We were 3 with different level of experience and all produced some amazing food. We got to choose 1 starter, 1 main and 1 dessert to make and then went shopping to market to get some of the ingredients, as well as picking up some from the garden. Dee was so lovely and patient and very good at explaining all the ingredients. It was wonderful to be welcome and spend some time with locals where they live rather than touristy area. Again even if it was just for the food, it is incredible value but the whole experience makes it superb. Definitely recommend +++++++

Wonderful Food and Teachers - We loved the cooking class! Dy was a fantastic teacher and very patient. Bonus points because everyone could choose what dishes they wanted to do (individually). The recipes and equipment were all very professional and delicious food was made.

The best meal you’ll have in Cambodia, guaranteed! - Sorady was amazing! We first went to the local market and got to see all the fresh ingredients that we were going to use to cook, which was really fun. But the best part was definitely the cooking, very fun and enjoyable… and VERY delicious. Dy is a great chef and teacher! You won’t regret booking her tour :)

Cancelled - I phoned to check our pick up time for this activity, which I had booked and paid for several weeks ago, to be told the the class was cancelled as it is a local holiday. The 12.30 class was therefore cancelled at 10.30 am the same day, and I only found this out because I had contacted the company myself. Luckily our hotel was able to organise an alternative cooking class for us despite the short notice. I guess these things happen sometimes, but I would recommend double checking your booking in advance if using this company.

The cooking class was cancelled. Nobody told me until I rang to find out what was happening! - Since I didn't have a class there were no memorable parts! If I had been told before the event that would have been OK but I was not informed until I rang to find out what was happening.
