The first and only Khmer cooking class commenced in Phnom Penh with the avid travellers in mind, Cambodia Cooking Class is located at the heart of the city of Phnom Penh. Excelling in the cooking of Khmer food would be a great form of introducing your experience in Cambodia to friends and family. One can recreate the authentic recipes back at home and invite them to sample the delicious meal. The cooking class lends an experience of culinary creations on a special rooftop terrace.
Khmer cuisine includes rice, tropical fruits, noodles, drinks, dessert and various soups, although its staple food is rice. Thus, most of its meals include a bowl of rice, if not noodles will be included. Khmer cuisine shares a lot in common with that of Thailand and Vietnam, two of Cambodias neighbouring nations. The cuisine has also drawn upon influences from the cuisines of France and China. However, in some ways, the Cambodian cuisine does have its own uniqueness. Khmer recipes date back to the days prior to the introduction of Chillies, thus many of its dishes are much milder than most Asian dishes.
At the Cambodia Cooking Class, one is taught how to prepare mouth-watering traditional Khmer dishes under the guidance of a friendly and enthusiastic English speaking cooking teacher. First, the teacher takes his students on an exciting journey through a market introducing and explaining facts about many Cambodian spices, vegetables, fruits, herbs and other essential ingredients.
Back at the cookery class, students can explore traditional methods of food preparation, especially the use of pestle and mortar to grind and pound spices and herbs to enhance the nutrition and flavours of the dishes. A separate working area which includes a burner is offered to each individual, letting them be delighted in the experience of cooking freely. Once the meals are prepared, students get to relish their culinary creations leisurely.
