Cambodian cooking class

I would thoroughly recommend this: www.beyonduniqueescapes.com !  I was picked up from my guesthouse by a tuk-tuk driver and driven 20 minutes out of town to a hotel. The cook then took us to a local house where we compared kitchens (!) and saw many vegetables and herbs growing in their garden.

The cooking class was great!  We prepared the special Kroeung paste by chopping then grinding the ingredients in a mortar - then made the Fisk Amok dish with coconut milk.  Then we made a dessert with glutinous rice flour (sticky rice flour   balls) and palm sugar candy in it, and finally we made the Green Mango Khmer salad.
