The 15 Best Cooking Classes in Cambodia

38 tours  ·  from $18 a head

Fish amok steamed in banana leaf, a lok lak with a proper pepper sauce, and prahok explained rather than apologised for. These 15 classes are priced and honest about how much you cook against how much you watch, and which start at the market.

“Fantastic class! I’ve been to many cooking classes and this one was fantastic. The driver texted me the morning of and he arrived on time. We did a market tour and our guide, Sorya, answered every single question we asked (which I think was too many 😂 but I had a very curious group.) She even helped us buy some fruit that we wanted. The class itself was fast-paced! Which I really liked!! We got right down to business. I didn’t feel rushed like some reviews mentioned. Because you have to cook fast or your food will burn. You got a choice of the food you wanted to cook! How…”

We shopped in the local market, which is always very colourful and full of interesting smells ( some not so good). Then back at Le Rose to cook. I was lucky enough to have the morning session all to myself. Thanks Lom Ang and your team at the Banana Cooking School.”

“This was a fantastic tour. My only regret is that I didn't schedule it for my first day in Phnom Penh because I would have had a better sense of where things were and known more about the city's culture. Kom was a great guide. He greeted me promptly at my hotel, ordered a tuk tuk, and off we went to the area of the Central Market. After providing an overview of the market, as well as Cambodian history, Kom encouraged me to taste some of the food in the market that I wasn't familiar with. From there we walked leisurely around the city with Kom providing commentary along the…”

“We were picked up more than 1.5 hours too late. Apparently the agency forgot our booking and the tuktuk driver's child had to see a doctor. If they would have informed us about the delay in advance, it would not have been such disappointment, as we would have stayed longer by the pool. But due to a lack of communication, we felt neclected as a customer and our enthusiasm for the class was below zero by the time we got picked up. The lady/chef tried to be nice but her sweat shirt said she loves money and that's what we sensed. We went to the market for groceries. Seeing the…”
