Meet Sokun

Sokun is a Montreal-based chef with over 15 years of experience, specializing in Southeast Asian and Canadian cuisine. Formally trained as a professional chef, he has worked his way up from line cook to chef in Montreal restaurants, creating his own unique and creative menus. Originally from Cambodia, Sokun brings his rich culinary heritage and a passion for sharing diverse flavors with guests.

What to expect

Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.

Cooking experience: (2-8 guests) Step into Sokun’s small and simple but welcoming Montreal apartment and experience everyday life through food in a real local home. Originally from Cambodia, Sokun brings over 15 years of culinary experience and a passion for sharing the diverse flavors of Southeast Asia. In this private, hands-on cooking class in Montreal, you’ll learn to prepare a three-course Southeast Asian meal - inspired by Cambodian and Thai traditions, with Sokun’s own creative touches. As you cook together in his home kitchen, Sokun will introduce you to essential ingredients and techniques, including the foundations of Southeast Asian sauces and how they differ from Western flavor profiles. This is more than a cooking class - it’s an opportunity to connect, learn, and share stories around food. After cooking, sit down together at Sokun’s dining table to enjoy the meal you helped prepare. Sokun is happy to accommodate vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free diets, making this a welcoming experience for all travelers, whether couples, friends, or families with children.
