Traditional Khmer Cooking classes
Learn how to prepare and make delicious Khmer dishes such as Traditional Amok, Salads and Bamboo Sticky Rice to gain a deeper understanding of what Khmer culture is, starting from the most important ancient thing: food.
Discover what the local ingredients are, where they are from and more about the most famous dishes that are beloved by Khmer people all over Cambodia. In each session you’ll gain insight into the cultural background and the skills needed to prepare traditional Khmer Cuisine so that you can bring a taste of Cambodia back home.
Enjoy traditional Cambodian cuisine with locally sourced and produced ingredients
As part of our sustainability and environmental focus, we aim to source all of our ingredients locally from the farmers and villages that suround Hanchey, and we grow our own produce wherever possible. This is to ensure you can truly enjoy the most delicious, organic and home-grown food during your stay.
Most of the herbs, vegetables, and fruits used in our classes are grown on-site or sourced directly from nearby farms—including Bamboo Island (Kaoh Krabei), where many of our pomelos come from. Everything is fresh, seasonal, and grown with care.
Want to know more about how we grow and source our food? Ask us about visiting the farms or even joining our Bamboo Island Tour or planning a trip to the local Steung Trang durian farms. These visits are a chance to meet the farmers behind the ingredients, walk through lush fruit orchards, and see firsthand how our region’s produce ends up on your plate. It’s a delicious way to deepen your connection to the land and the people who nourish it.
