Full description

An experience run in Phnom Penh. The operator sums it up as learn practical khmer cooking from our experienced chef. The price covers Market tour, shopping at the local market for ingredients, Preparation – apron and gloves for the course and Introduction and preparation of ingredients (sauce, herbs, s. It does not cover entrance fees, transfers from and to your hotel/guestho and others that are not mentioned in the inc, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price. Khmer food is milder than Thai and sourer than Vietnamese, built on prahok fermented fish paste and on kroeung, a lemongrass, galangal, turmeric and kaffir-lime paste pounded fresh. The dish everyone is taught is fish amok, a coconut curry steamed in a banana-leaf cup until it sets like a custard; lok lak, pepper-seared beef with a lime-and-pepper dipping sauce, is the other. Kampot pepper, which has a protected origin, turns up in both. Classes usually start in a market, where the guide walks you through the fermented fish, the palm sugar and the river fish before anything is cooked. Priced per person at about $78 each, so a party of 8 comes to $624. The price you see on this page is the total for the party size you pick, not a per-head figure to multiply. Meet The Province runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.
