Nice cooking course, highly recommended! - Today we had a very nice cooking course from Dee and her team. First we went for a tour of a local market. The cooking course started with a tour and explanation in their own vegetable/herb garden and then we started working. Dee is super enthusiastic and explains how to do it well. I would definitely recommend this cooking course!

Our Favorite Cooking Class Experience! - We did this class in the low season, and it ended up a private session with the 2 of us. The experience included an authentic wet market tour where locals shop daily, a tour of the garden where we picked ingredients to use in our meals, and Dee ensured we were kept hydrated and the food turned out delicious. The meals included a choice of starter, main (including veg options), and a dessert. This was the first chance I had to cook and eat authentic Cambodian food, and I’m glad for the recipes to try again at home. Overall, the experience lasted about 3hrs. Dee was a delightful host and was able to answer many of cultural questions beyond food, which made the experience feel all the more personal.

Fun friendly interesting cooking morning ! - Thank you Dee for an amazing morning. we had a fascinating tour of the local market. I took so many photos as there was so much going on. At the school we cooked 3 dishes of our choice and they all tasted amazing. We were given alternative ingredient names so I can recreate at home. We toured Dees garden where she grows her own fruit and veg including bananas and mangos ! I learnt so much and Dee was so friendly x

Fun family activity, tasty and educational about khmer dishes - With our three children aged 18,17 and 15 we did this cooking workshop. They were all looking forward to it and the expectation has come true. You choose from three dishes per person, and the cook will help you prepare the dishes. Dee was our cook; a wonderfully funny young woman who explains a lot about spices and speaks good English. We had a great time! Recommended to do with each other!

Great afternoon / evening cooking experience. - Our group consisted of 6 x adults on the day. Each of us selected 2 x mains plus a desert of Khmer recipes (a great selection of foods). We went shopping to the local markets to select the produce then back to the cooking class. Our cooked food tasted amazingly good. Dee was an excellent teacher & as an added bonus she connected with all of us & was very funny. As an added bonus not only did she take plenty of photos during the day but provided the recipes too. Highly recommend 👍

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!

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.
