5.00The cooking course to discover Cambodian cuisine is excellent! The chef named Madame Shapen is very responsive, professional, patient and kind! She explained us step by step for each recipe and also explained the ingredients that we do not know. Highly recommend!!

5.00Don't miss it! A half-day cooking class is not only a lot of fun, but the home-cooked food tastes great. First we visited a market with our teacher Sophen to buy the ingredients. Then, under her guidance, we prepared a 'Green Mango Salad', a chicken curry (yellow curry pasta homemade!) and for dessert "Banana Palm'. Sophen competently and humorously introduced us to Khmer cuisine! Yummy! Thank you Sophen!

5.00Superb experience. Lom Ang was an excellent teacher, really friendly and knowledgeable. The market trip was great and we really impressed ourselves with the excellent three course lunch that we cooked ourselves. Really looking forward to receiving the recipes so we can try and re-create it at home.
Recommended Khmer Cooking Class!

5.00Chef Sao Sophen was very welcoming and kept us entertained throughout our half day course. My husband and I were the only group on the day so ended up with a private class! The trip to the market to find the ingredients for our dishes was a highlight. She was very patient in explaining the process we needed to follow for each dish and the end result was delicious. Would highly recommend.
Wonderful experience!

5.00Chef Sao Sophen was fantastic! So nice to go to the market and get a guided tour. We’d been to the market on a previous day and didn’t recognise some of the produce, so we learned a lot! The class itself was excellent, and the food was delicious. Would recommend this very strongly to anyone visiting Phnom Penh - and we bring home some new recipes which is the best possible souvenir! Thank you chef!
