We already tried it at home and it was delicious! - We loved the setting, its quiet, at the pond with lots of greenery. Our option was vegetarian and we totally enjoyed it, it was a great introduction to Cambodian cuisine. We visited the market before and it was also very educational.

Fun cooking class with lovely people - My boyfriend and I booked the cooking class and both of us were satisfied with the whole experience. First we went to the market and got some stuff. After a short ride with a tuktuk, we arrived at a pretty scenic place. While cooking, we had a nice view at the small lake right next to the building. The staff has been lovely and fun to talk to, and the time passed so fast. The food we did was amazing, and you get a cooking book to take home with even more recipes to try. Loved every minute there. Thank you so much!

Exceptional experience, thriving market, real culinary cheffing skills! - Fantastic! I’m a foodie and home cook who has done a number of cooking classes around SE Asia and this is what made Beyond’s experience stand out: - The market is live, thriving, central, local, and Sophia took her time to walk me through, stop and examine, touch and smell produce, look at people making things, visit all parts of the market including parts that might make you queasy. Really appreciated her explanation and insights that come with people not having refrigeration, and cooking fresh every day. - The beautiful rural-ish lakeside training location with pristine kitchen and training setup with expertly trained chef included personal placements (own stove, cutting station, materials) like a real training situation - They were so hospitable, providing fresh cut fruit, pandan tea, cold towels and cold water throughout, in addition to all the food! - Lessons in knifing, grinding, and how to actually make the curry paste (most classes say ‘add this’ hunk of secret ingredient so you can’t replicate!) - I’ve already adapted 3-4 different skills from Cambodian cooking to my repertoire! - Learning cute culinary flourishes like making flowers from scallions, or adding decoration to your spring rolls - Personal support with sitting when tired, food prep, and aesthetically organizing things for pictures and videos to was fun and unexpected - they really do foresee your every need - Dining patio by the lake was so peaceful with full table set and service (seeing your food plated beautifully is a hoot!); huge fish flopped about, a huge bunch of geese flocked back and forth on the road behind me, and sometimes they said there are horses from the neighboring farm. - tuktuk ride to and from the market and training location and hotel was scenic and an experience by itself; navigating both fast highway lanes and pockmarked rural roads past scrawny cows… Definitely recommend! Can’t wait to see my new friends when I eat at the restaurant before Phare the circus (Pray is chef and Sophia serves there too!)

Cooking with a Kami - I loved the tour started in a market where you get to see how the locals shop and see the different food and herbs. The location is near water which offers a pleasant view that complimented the eating area very well. It was a lovely setup & experience.

Fantastic immersion in the culture and flavors of Cambodia - My wife and I participated in the experience with Sofia (Sofia Loren had called herself :-)) and chef Prai (I hope I spelled it correctly). Perfectly organized since the Point of Sale tour. We will bring with us the sympathy and warmth of the “hosts” and a culinary experience that will be an inspiration when we return home. Absolutely to do!!!
