Loved it! The market trip was interesting and educational. The dishes weren't too difficult to make but were delicious!

We considered many cooking classes and read many reviews but chose to join this one at Champey. I’m glad we did. It’s easy to find, just a short walk from their restaurant. The Chef was warm and welcoming me and my daughter to the already formed group of two other couples. So six in total. We had time to chat as a group over a glass of wine whilst the kitchen was preparing our station. We then walked to the market ( nice if you’d not already seen it) then back to the kitchen to prepare our food. A couple of things to consider if you go to Champey’s: 1. The class tries to cater for all learners - don’t expect your knife to be super sharp 2. Your ingredients is enough for the food portion you’ll be cooking with - don’t expect huge portions 3. The class does cater for vegetarians - I read in one review someone being sensitive to the chefs comments about the vegetarians, in my experience he was being playful. I was the only vegetarian in the group and chef did ‘mock’ me a little but it was definitely in good fun and he was being playful. The Khmer culture uses meat in all their dishes and I sensed vegetarians are slightly frowned upon. But the class gave me all the vegetarian substitutes and stocks. I think vegans might struggle. 4. The market trip - it’s crowded and narrow you won’t hear everything chef is telling you - it’s impossible for him to include everyone because of the environment however, he does make time to stop at his preferred market stalls to group us all together to talk about the produce. It’s interesting and he knows his stuff. 5. You won’t be cutting up whole carrots, cucumbers and cabbage etc this is already washed and prepared in whole form, we just cut up into smaller pieces for the cooking. We made three dishes: Starter was fresh (not fried) vegetarian spring rolls Main was vegetable or local fish Amok curry with rice ( the rice was already made and plated for us) Dessert was fried banana with coconut cream A useful tip would be if you are looking for something more labour intensive or making the whole dishes from scratch (rice included) this might not meet your needs. The market trip isn’t where we buy our produce, that had already been bought and prepared for us. In our group was a foodie enthusiast who wanted to make our curry paste from scratch and chef encouraged this. We all got to try our hand at pounding the mortar and pestle to make our curry paste from the raw ingredient but chef had already prepared another paste that day ( in the blender). The whole experience was fun, we shared the afternoon with four really friendly and polite guys who engaged in polite and informative after dinner conversation about travelling and culture. Be mindful the more wine you drink the more you pay - only the welcome drink is free. All in all - five stars!! We left with a quality bag: filled with a small recipe booklet, certificate and a box of five spices to make our own. …

We arrived and turned out to be the only ones show up. So we got a privat class with an amazing chef! Went of to tour the local food market and buy all that was needed to our 3 course meal. These were 3 and a half hours well spent, and it didn't feel over priced at all. Personally I'm not big in the kitchen and I still had a great time and somehow managed to prepare a wonderfull meal!…
