What to expect

Dary loves introducing travelers to the authentic flavors, traditions, and everyday life of Cambodia. Your experience begins with a hotel pickup in Siem Reap, followed by a scenic tuk-tuk ride to the vibrant Old Market, Psar Chas. It is the perfect place to immerse yourself in Khmer culture, surrounded by colorful stalls, friendly vendors, and the lively atmosphere of daily Cambodian life. Together with Dary, explore the market, browse fresh produce and aromatic spices, learn about the local ingredients used in traditional Cambodian cuisine, and purchase a few fresh vegetables or herbs for your Cambodian cooking class.

Back at Dary's home, take a tour of her garden before learning to cook a traditional Khmer meal. As you cook, Dary will share stories about Cambodian food, culture, and local life in a warm and welcoming setting. Learn to cook two dishes from scratch in your Siem Reap cooking class: either stir-fried seasonal eggplant, green mango salad, or fresh spring rolls (choose one), along with fish amok, one of Cambodia's most iconic dishes. After cooking, sit down with Dary to enjoy the delicious meal you helped prepare, served with seasonal fruit.
