Overview

Learn to cook traditional Khmer dishes with local instructors at a leading Siem Reap cooking school, then enjoy your creations over lunch, with recipes to take home.
Cambodian food rarely gets the international attention it deserves, and this half day cooking class is a chance to change that.
At one of Siem Reap's leading cooking schools, local instructors walk you through the ingredients that define Khmer cuisine, drawn from produce shared with Cambodia's neighbours yet shaped into something distinctly its own. No previous cooking experience is needed, professional chefs guide every step from ingredient preparation through to plating.
Once the dishes are ready, sit down with your fellow cooks to share the results over lunch, or dinner if you book the afternoon class. Printed recipes go home with you, ready to recreate the meal for friends and family.
A hands-on, sociable introduction to Cambodian food, taught by the people who know it best.

You do not require having any cooking experience during this half-day as local professionals and food connoisseurs will be standing by, explaining every step carefully before presenting your dishes to your fellow master chefs.
