Morning Cooking Class and Market Tour in Siem Reap
Full description
This is a 5-hour experience in Siem Reap. It is run by Devi Theater Restaurant, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
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.
The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off, Chef, guide, Market waking tour and 2 dishes of main course. It does not cover Personal expense, 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.

Traveler Reviews
This was a very relaxed and informative tour. We enjoyed going to the vegetable farm, mushroom farm and market before the cooking lesson. Our guide Bopha was awesome 🤩 She was very clear, knowledgeable and kind- we appreciated her company a lot. She also assisted us at the market when we wanted to try different fruits/local snacks. The instructions during the cooking session was very clear and easy to follow.
Ron was fantastic at communicating re pick up and what food we were looking to cook. We visited a mushroom farm and food market. He was a lovely and funny guy….lots of fun. Keo the chef is just delightful. We were fully hands on and the meal we created was delicious!! Highly recommended 😀
Great activity, beautiful location and learned about the farm life. We had a choice of what dish we both cooked which was also lovely to learn some new cooking recipes and how it is made. Our tour guide (Prearon) a long with our 2 chefs who showed us how to cook were all lovely, happy and helpful people!
Amazing! Great tour through market, and mushroom farm before class at beautiful country home. Made three delicious dishes. Very healthy choices. Especially enjoyed our guide, Thanut Kean. Perfect English. He is from the rural area where the class took place, and was very knowledgeable about cuisine and local culture.
Bopha foi uma excelente anfitriã nesta atividade. Proporcionou-nos uma visita a um verdadeiro mercado local, fora da cidade, assim como a uma produção agrÃcola e uma outra de cogumelos. Depois fomos para o local onde decorreu a aula. Um espaço com todas as condições, mas ao ar livre, rodeados de plantas e ladeados por uma exploração de arroz. IdÃlico! A formação propriamente dita foi ótima. Fácil de seguir e algo que claramente poderemos recriar em casa. O resultado final foi excelente pois a refeição que confecionamos estava excelente. Muito obrigado pela experiência.
Sehr nette Tour mit kurzem Marktbesuch und Besuch einer Gemüsefarm. Der anschließende Kochkurs war super organisiert. Wir konnten vorher die Gerichte aussuchen und sind Schritt für Schritt angeleitet worden. Das Ergebnis hat fantastisch geschmeckt. Insgesamt 5* für Guide, Fahrer und Köchinnen. Wir waren zu zweit und hatten tolle Stunden. Pünktlich, organisiert und freundlich Danke nochmal. Wir freuen über die Rezepte.
Fun experience! I came on the tour with my mum. We were picked up from our hotel by Ron our tour guide and driver at 9am on the tuk tuk. He was super friendly and his English was excellent! We visited an oyster mushroom farm in the countryside outside of Siem Reap and also the vegetable village to be shown the types of herbs that are grown there. We went to the local market to look at all the fresh produce too. We then travelled to a local rural house for the cooking part. Mai our teacher was excellent and talked to us about how to prepare and cook the dishes we had picked (Mai had messaged on
