Learn Khmer Cooking in Banteay Srei, Siem Reap - Hands-On Cooking Class for You

Summary: We had a wonderful experience with Dee. Our tuk-tuk driver took us to a local market and talked to us about the vegetables being sold in the market. He then took us to Dee's home, where she has a lovely covered cooking porch inside her beautiful garden. We each prepared three Khmer dishes. We both chose to start with a green mango salad. My 2nd dish was Samlor ktis. My husband had Amok fish. We had an option for dessert, but since we don't like sweets we chose a vegetable dish for our third dish. I had crispy fried mushrooms and tofu and he had fried morning glory. Dee was a great teacher and we learned a lot about Khmer cooking. The food was delicious and I would highly recommend this tour as a great way to learn about Khmer cooking and culture.

Summary: We did this class in the low season, and it ended up a private session with the 2 of us. The experience included an authentic wet market tour where locals shop daily, a tour of the garden where we picked ingredients to use in our meals, and Dee ensured we were kept hydrated and the food turned out delicious. The meals included a choice of starter, main (including veg options), and a dessert. This was the first chance I had to cook and eat authentic Cambodian food, and I’m glad for the recipes to try again at home. Overall, the experience lasted about 3hrs. Dee was a delightful host and was able to answer many of cultural questions beyond food, which made the experience feel all the more personal.

Summary: Cooking and chatting with Dee was delightful! We had a great time walking through her garden and cooking some delicious food. Highly recommend!

Summary: 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

Summary: The authentic cooking experience we had with chef Dee was amazing and the food was absolutely delicious. We would highly recommend this experience!

Summary: 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 👍

Summary: 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!

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.
