What you can expect

  • Delve into Cambodian cuisine and regional specialties in this full-day cooking experience. Head to a local market to collect fresh and authentic ingredients, then tie on your apron as an expert chef helps you hone your skills and discover the flavors of Khmer cuisine.

    In the morning, be picked up by tuk tuk, before heading to a local market to collect fresh produce and herbs. Your guide gives you pointers on how to select and bargain for the very best ingredients as you walk from stall to stall.

    Then it's time to get to the restaurant and put your skills to the test. Over the course of a full-day class, gain insight into the techniques, flavors, and special characteristics of Khmer cuisine. Once everything is sautéed, steamed, simmered, and seasoned, pull up a chair to savor the fruits of your labor with your group.
