More than just a cooking lesson, a real moment of sharing around Khmer culture and local customs. We started with a trip to the market and then to Dee’s vegetable garden to see what the ingredients were like. Then cooking class (at our request it was possible to adapt all the recipes to vegetarian) we made spring rolls, a vegetable amok and coconut bananas. A rich experience that we highly recommend if you are visiting siem reap. Thanks again to Dee for this great experience!!
I purchased ticket but operator did not turn up. Phone number is not operational when I tried to contact them. Had to request refund from Viator.
Highly recommend this activity while in Siem Reap. Delicious food - I chose to make the fresh rice paper rolls, Somla Kits (a fish & eggplant coconut milk curry), and banana coconut milk dessert. To start, our tuk tuk driver took us to the local market to browse through all the fresh produce, fish (fresh from the largest freshwater lake in South-East Asia, Tonlé Sap), meats, birds, eggs, snails (French influence in Cambodian cuisine) etc. Definitely something to experience and see how the average person gets their food. I then learnt from the lovely Dee on how to cook these beautiful, fresh dishes, with so much taste! Loved all of them, and hoping to try out when back home too ❤️👌 Hot work in this tropical heat, so loved sitting down to enjoy the meal.

Doing the cooking class with Dee was the best idea we had in Cambodja! She tought us about the fresh ingredients we needed to cook the chosen dishes we wanted to cook, and we collected the fresh ingredients in her food-garden. It was so interesting. Later, we started cooking the dishes. She helped us all the time and explained how we had to cook it. She took photos of us, and then she sent us the recipies we were cooking. Later, we enjoyed the dishes we cooked eating in the porch. I really recommend the experience!

Myself and my cousin really enjoyed our cooking lesson with Dee. It was very interesting to visit the local markets first. When we arrived at the cooking location, we were greeted with a warm welcome. Dee then showed us around her garden and explained which plants we needed for our chosen dishes. Dee was very helpful and she went through instructions step by step. We didn't feel like we were rushed at all. Everything went at our own pace. Dee was very caring and wanted to ensure the best for our safety when cooking. I would highly recommend this cooking class to anyone who has an interest in learning to cook new, traditional meals! Dee sent on the ingredients and recipes for each of the dishes we made and we can't wait to get home and cook these!
What a memorable cooking experience with Dee! Starting off with a market tour and a garden visit must have made it feel like a complete immersion into local cuisine, and her personalized, step-by-step guidance sounds perfect for learning traditional dishes at your own pace.

Thanks for sharing, and it sounds like a must-do for any food enthusiast visiting Siem Reap!
Started with a market tour, where it was investing to see how the locals shop, we also shopped for a few ingredients for our meals. We got to choose our dishes which was lovely. The chef/teacher, Dee, was fantastic, where she engaged with us, spoke through all the ingredients and coached us through the cook. Super enjoyable and highly recommend.
