Fun friendly interesting cooking morning ! - Thank you Dee for an amazing morning. we had a fascinating tour of the local market. I took so many photos as there was so much going on. At the school we cooked 3 dishes of our choice and they all tasted amazing. We were given alternative ingredient names so I can recreate at home. We toured Dees garden where she grows her own fruit and veg including bananas and mangos ! I learnt so much and Dee was so friendly x

Fun family activity, tasty and educational about khmer dishes - With our three children aged 18,17 and 15 we did this cooking workshop. They were all looking forward to it and the expectation has come true. You choose from three dishes per person, and the cook will help you prepare the dishes. Dee was our cook; a wonderfully funny young woman who explains a lot about spices and speaks good English. We had a great time! Recommended to do with each other!

Great afternoon / evening cooking experience. - Our group consisted of 6 x adults on the day. Each of us selected 2 x mains plus a desert of Khmer recipes (a great selection of foods). We went shopping to the local markets to select the produce then back to the cooking class. Our cooked food tasted amazingly good. Dee was an excellent teacher & as an added bonus she connected with all of us & was very funny. As an added bonus not only did she take plenty of photos during the day but provided the recipes too. Highly recommend 👍

Wonderful evening! - Dee was amazing! She was kind, funny, and a very good teacher! We felt welcomed from the moment we walked in… and we quickly connected over picking herbs, going to the market, and choosing our meals! The chicken curry was one of the best I have ever eaten (and I have eaten many!)! The food, atmosphere and hospitality were outstanding! I highly recommend you take this class on your next visit!

Amazing Food - The cooking class was amazing. We made the best food that we had during our stay in Cambodia. Dee was amazing very helpful and kind. It was super cool to get all of our veggies straight from the garden where we where cooking. It was an amazing time and not only was it a highlight of our time in Cambodia but a highlight of our entire trip in Asia.

Best cooking class in Siam Reap, Cambodia!!!! - I can’t say enough about how cool this cooking class was! We were picked up at our hotel and brought to the market where we were able to see all of the fruits vegetables, fish and meats for sale. Then we went to a beautiful area and began the cooking class.. We learned how to cook Vietnamese spring rolls, morning, glory, vegetable, three different salads, chicken curry, and a fish dish. We each got to choose what we wanted to cook. We learned a ton and the chef Dee was amazing. She was very funny and engaging! She was also very informative and we learned a ton about indigenous vegetables and spices. We had a great time and ate a ton! I highly highly recommend this tour. There are many tours at hotels and other's but this one was very authentic. We always felt safe and were in great hands with both Dee and her husband as our guide.

Cambodian Real food Experience - It has been a real pleasure to be in a local environment and be with its people who want to transmit the Cambodian gastronomic culture to you: Amok with chicken is a real delight, it is amazing, I hope to do it back to my Canarian paradise. Thank you Dee for sharing your time in teaching me how to make these three plans.

Cancelled - I phoned to check our pick up time for this activity, which I had booked and paid for several weeks ago, to be told the the class was cancelled as it is a local holiday. The 12.30 class was therefore cancelled at 10.30 am the same day, and I only found this out because I had contacted the company myself. Luckily our hotel was able to organise an alternative cooking class for us despite the short notice. I guess these things happen sometimes, but I would recommend double checking your booking in advance if using this company.

The cooking class was cancelled. Nobody told me until I rang to find out what was happening! - Since I didn't have a class there were no memorable parts! If I had been told before the event that would have been OK but I was not informed until I rang to find out what was happening.
