Overview

Mobile ticket
Unique aspects of a Khmer cooking class often include learning in an intimate, small-group setting, often inside a local's home, with a hands-on experience that starts with a market tour to select fresh ingredients.
Key unique elements
Authentic setting: Many classes offer a personal and intimate experience by being held in a local family's home, rather than a large restaurant kitchen.
Hands-on market tour: You'll go to a local market with your instructor to learn about and select the fresh ingredients for your meal, providing a complete cultural experience from start to finish.
Personalized instruction: The small class sizes, often limited to six people, allow for personalized, hands-on support and advice from the instructor.
Cultural immersion: The experience provides insight into Khmer culture through its cuisine, with an emphasis on aromatic spices, herbs, and other traditional ingredients.

What To Expect
Wat Thmey (Killing Fields)
KILLING FIELDS – WAT THMEY, known as Siem Reap’s Killing Field, is one of many killing fields in Cambodia during the tragic Khmer Rouge/Pol Pot regime from 1975–1979. The Khmer Rouge forced city dwellers to flee to the countryside to perform manual labour in the fields and was responsible for mass killings trying to establish a classless society. The effects of this bloody time are still being overcome by those that were lucky enough to survive. WAT THMEY in 1995 was renovated, a substantial amount of bones and skulls of the victims were placed in the memorial stupa. This place is the most convenient to visit if you don’t have time to visit Phnom Penh’s killing fields and S21 prison, the largest memorial for the brave population that perished.
Psar Chaa - Old Market
IIt is the largest local market selling everything that you would find in your hometown Shopping Mall, only with a Khmer feel. Fruit, vegetables, flowers, Khmer sweet treats and cakes greet you as you arrive. Gold jewellery and other gem stalls stretch down the centre of the building, making a good landmark if you get lost. If you want a typical Khmer outfit to attend a wedding, you can have it made here. Outside at the rear you will find a large variety of fresh fish, seafood, all meat products. Not a lot of English is spoken but it’s safe to wander, practice your Khmer, and take in the abundance and variety of stock. Good idea to take small notes as no credit card facilities. It’s not air conditioned but hot, noisy and vibrant and shouldn’t be missed.

5.00This tour was amazing. Travelling around with Kosorl was brilliant. His knowledge is endless and he has a real connection with many of the fascinating places we visited. The cooking class was really good too. This is one of the best tours in town.
Knowledge, passion and delicious food

5.00Mr.K our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Our conversations ranged from food to history and politics to his family and life. Made the entire day great fun. The cooking school was brilliant, our chef was a good guide and we even enjoyed eating what we cooked! All down to her guidance rather than any ability we had.
Fun hands-on learning experience

5.00To share in the every day living of a typical Khmer family is a unique experience. It might not be for everyone- no ensuite with hot and cold running water or flushing toilet, but there are bathroom facilities available. This is how much of the Cambodian population live. Your hosts are kind, friendly people who will welcome you to their world. The many children you will meet love having visitors. Bring your sense of humour, your best stories and songs for the kids. The food is plentiful and authentic. Don't feel offended if your hosts don't eat with you. That's normal in Cambodia - you are their special guests. Kosorl will ensure you are involved in the daily activities of the community as well as showing you the many wonders of Cambodia. If you're up for an adventure, this could be life changing. Certainly it will help change the people you meet and interact with. Why not give it a go? I did and will continue to do so.
