Half of Cambodia's charm lies in the thousand‑year heritage of the Angkor monuments, while the other half is infused in the flavours of Khmer cuisine. To fully experience the essence of Siem Reap, you must taste the local dishes with your own palate to make the trip truly worthwhile. This exclusive Khmer cooking class not only lets you encounter authentic Cambodian flavours, but also unlocks the secrets of cooking, allowing you to bring home the flavours and memories of Siem Reap.

Ingredients are the soul of good food, and this cooking class begins with an immersive visit to the local market. Led by a professional guide, step into the bustling markets of Siem Reap and handpick fresh, authentic ingredients — tender river fish, fragrant lemongrass, spicy Khmer curry powder, and a variety of special spices, vegetables and fruits. The guide will explain in detail how each ingredient is used, pairing tips, and even share locals' tricks for selecting produce, allowing you to deeply experience the unique essence of Khmer cuisine.

Next, head to the dedicated cooking venue, where an experienced local culinary expert will teach you in person, providing patient guidance throughout — even complete beginners can easily follow along. You will get hands‑on experience and master four authentic Khmer signature dishes, including the world‑renowned Amok fish and the refreshingly flavoursome Tom Yum soup, plus two authentic Cambodian home‑style dishes. Every step is broken down clearly and easy to understand, from grinding spices to controlling the heat, with valuable cooking tips passed along in detail.

This experience blends fun and flavour with no rigid teaching — only relaxed and enjoyable interaction. Through hands‑on cooking, you will feel the craftsmanship of Khmer cuisine and unlock the cultural codes hidden within the dishes. Once the cooking is done, sit down and savour the fruits of your labour — every bite is authentic Cambodian flavour, filling you with a wonderful sense of accomplishment and happiness.

You don't have to just be a diner tasting delicious food — you can become the one who creates it.
