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.

Unmissable experience for the food and the company - What a fantastic experience with Dee. We were 3 with different level of experience and all produced some amazing food. We got to choose 1 starter, 1 main and 1 dessert to make and then went shopping to market to get some of the ingredients, as well as picking up some from the garden. Dee was so lovely and patient and very good at explaining all the ingredients. It was wonderful to be welcome and spend some time with locals where they live rather than touristy area. Again even if it was just for the food, it is incredible value but the whole experience makes it superb. Definitely recommend +++++++

Wonderful Food and Teachers - We loved the cooking class! Dy was a fantastic teacher and very patient. Bonus points because everyone could choose what dishes they wanted to do (individually). The recipes and equipment were all very professional and delicious food was made.

The best meal you’ll have in Cambodia, guaranteed! - Sorady was amazing! We first went to the local market and got to see all the fresh ingredients that we were going to use to cook, which was really fun. But the best part was definitely the cooking, very fun and enjoyable… and VERY delicious. Dy is a great chef and teacher! You won’t regret booking her tour :)

A personal cooking experience like no other - Of all the cooking experiences we have done this has by far been one of the best ones. First we got picked up from our hotel and taken to this beautiful little kitchen. We were given a menu with a varied selection of dishes. We were then asked to choose which dish we each wanted to cook and we got to choose 3!! After that we were taken to the market to buy some of the ingredients, it was lovely being involved with the locals and buying the ingredients fresh. We even got to try, a rice cake, a BBQ chicken as well as some sugar cane juice. AMAZING!!! Then we headed back to the kitchen. One of the most unique aspects of this kitchen is the garden that surrounds it. Dee our chef showed us around. All of the ingredients we didn't get at the market we picked in her garden!! Now you can't get any fresher then that. After all the ingredients were collected we then got into the cooking. Dee was incredible, sweet and funny. It really felt like we were cooking at home with our own family it was a beautifully personal experience and one that will sit in our memories forever. Once all the dishes were cooked we then sat down and enjoyed our 6 meals. Wow we were so full after all of them beautiful flavours. Thank you so much for a wonderful time and making us feel like a family.

Just amazing!! - The cooking class was really good! I can recommend this acitivity to everyone who wants to learn how to cool in a cambodian local way! We got picked up from a local guy with a tuktuk. Even the ride was great. We could choose our own three dishes for cooking. After that we went to a local market and bought the Ingredients. Cooking was so much fun. U cook in a really peacefull environment. If you cant eat all the cooked dishes, u can just grab it to go! Take some mosquito spray with u, cause the cooking class is outside. Enjoy!!

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.
