5.00Had an absolutely marvelous experience learning to cook vegetarian Khmer yellow curry with Chef Sao Sophen. Chef Sophen was very patient with us both at the market and during meal preparation. Her skills were evident and she was easily able to transfer some of these on to us. I am looking forward to learning more from her in the future and fully recommend this class to all levels of cooks. Enjoy the experience!
What an enjoyable experience!

5.00Great class! It was fun to go pick out the ingredients from the market and then cook the meal with a professional. I am not a good cook but my meal was tasty because of Chef Peark Lom Ang! Great staff as well. Everyone was so nice.

5.00Sophen was a great teacher, but also lots of fun to spend the afternoon with. We shopped for ingredients at the colorful local market and she showed us a variety of other typical Cambodian food, then we headed back by tuk tuk to the clean, well laid-out kitchen to learn how to prepare mango salad (so fresh!), yellow chicken curry (with tons of yummy spices and local veg), and banana palm dessert. Sophen was entertaining and informative, and the afternoon flew by—then we had a chance to order drinks and sat down to our scrumptious dinner. Highly recommend! Thank you, Sophen!
Amazing authentic cooking class
