My wife and I had a wonderful experience learning about Cambodian Cooking. Sokha was a fantastic teacher and Sambo’s was a short walk from our hotel. The food and recipes were excellent. I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who’s enthusiastically curious.

I booked a morning cooking class with few expectations. The location was convenient and the timing worked into our otherwise busy day. Upon arriving, we were presented with glasses of freshly squeezed drinks that combined lemongrass, mint and lime; delicious and refreshing! Our instructor Sokha Sombor warmly greeted us, making sure we were comfortable before giving us a thorough explanation of all the ingredients we’d be working with, along with her suggestions for substitutions. Her class was well organized, professional, engaging and very satisfying. We prepped and cooked 3 dishes that we ate at the completion of the class; a salad, a main course and a dessert. Her food was delicious and our cooking experience was enjoyable because of her instructions. If you have an opportunity to take Sokha’s class, I can all but guarantee that you’ll find it as worthwhile and enjoyable as we did. If you’re interested in mastering 3 Cambodian dishes that can easily be replicated when you return home, take this class. Thank you Sokha!

Sambo cooking class is a really good moment. Sokha is a great cook and she can explain very well the whole process. She is very helpful, nice and she makes you feel home. At the end of the class it was a pleasure to taste what I had cooked, a real bite of Cambodia, and to share it with my partner for lunch as it was a lot. I recommend this class.

This was an excellent cooking class. The students each had their own ingredients to prepare and their own burner and pot to use. So you really made all of the recipes yourself. There were three delicious dishes that we made. I feel very comfortable that I will be able to go home and use the recipes I was given to make those same dishes.

This was an amazing cooking class. Sokha is a great teacher. She worked with each of us to make sure we understood what we were doing. We each had our own ingredients to prepare, our own burner and our own pot. We made the recipes with her guidance. All three of the dishes were delicious. She sent us the recipes and I will definitely make them when I get home. This is one of the best cooking classes that I’ve taken. I highly recommend it.

Sokha was great fun and very enthusiastic about Khmer food. She was a great teacher and made everything very easy. She was also very kind about my rather sad looking banana leaf bowl 😂
