Local culture, great food and a calming environment

5.00I had a great time at this cooking class. We first went to the market to shop for the ingredients...an added bonus, getting to see a local market. And the cooking was clear and turned out great! I have been wanting to know how to create these tastes and now I do. Also, the locale is so pretty and calming! Overall a great experience and I would highly recommend it.
Fun, enjoyable and educational too - and you get to eat what you cook! A star experience.

5.00This was a really enjoyable and worthwhile experience. First, we were welcomed into the Rosa suite which is a lovely venue, tucked away on a quiet street. Then we joined Chef Sokea (who is very knowledgeable and speaks perfect English) at the local market to buy our ingredients where she explained to us what a number of unusual foods were - she happily modified our 3 course meal to substitute tofu for chicken - and then we returned to base to begin our class. Sokea was a wonderful teacher, taking us through each dish one by one and helping us to make them and talking about ways we could modify the dishes to suit our tastes. It was really great fun and helped us feel more connected with the country through its food. The class is supremely organised with one or two more helpers, preparing things (bringing in equipment, washing it up) so that we could focus on the class and cooking. At the end, we sat down to eat what we had made and received a certificate, recipes and photos our helpers took while we were at work.
Fun and empowering culinary experience

5.00This was an optional activity on our Scenic cruise. It was great fun and both educational and empowering. It started with a shopping adventure (aided by a kind chef). The talented and friendly master chef then taught us to make a 3-course lunch, and we each prepared and ate our own. The green papaya salad was amazing, the curry delicious, and the banana dessert decadent! We left with the recipes and the capacity to recreate the meal at home, and I can't wait to amaze my family with my new cooking skills!

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.
