Summary: This was a perfect way to experience and taste Khmer cuisine in Phnom Penh. It was a very enjoyable experience, from going shopping for ingredients in one of the markets, to cooking a 3 course meal with guidance from a local. You even get to eat the food you cook at the end which was the perfect end to the class. Highly recommend !
