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: (1-10 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 and Canadian fusion.

In this private, hands-on cooking class in Montreal, you’ll learn to prepare a four -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.

Notes: Chef Sokun currently only hosts on weekends from 11h to 20h and weekdays evening from 17h to 20:30h.

Thoroughly enjoyable experience with Chef Sokun learning knife skills and preparation of Thai/Cambodian dishes including Krapow sauce, Tom yum soup and sauce for mango sticky rice. Sokun explained aspects well and we got experience mixing ingredients. It is a small quaint apartment used only for private/small group classes. Would be fun to return for more advanced lessons and be involved in more of the meal

FAQ

    You can cancel your reservation up until 48 hours before your experience for a full refund minus a 4% processing fee. Experiences within 48 hours are not refundable.

    If you have a question for your host, you can include a note in the field "Write a note to your host" during the booking process. Once your booking is confirmed, you will be emailed your host's direct contact information and you will also be able to message the host through your profile. You can always cancel your booking and receive a full refund 48 hours or more before your experience. If you have other questions you can also email us at reservations@travelingspoon.com.

    Most of our hosts are able to accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies, including vegetarian and gluten free options. For vegetarian travelers, we have an icon on each host profile to indicate whether that host can also offer a fully vegetarian menu. There is a section in the booking form to note any allergies or dietary restrictions which will be sent directly to your host.

    Some hosts offer alcohol as an optional add-on for travelers who are of legal drinking age. Pricing for alcohol is visible on the host profile page and includes one to two glasses of wine, beer or local alcohol.

    Have a flight or other tour planned and can't make the timing provided? If the timing listed on the host's profile doesn't work for you, our hosts can often accommodate timing changes. Because all of our experiences are private our hosts are happy to tailor experiences to meet your travel needs. Simply note your request in the booking process.

    Your card will not be charged until your host accepts your booking. Typically hosts respond to bookings within 72 hours. In the event your host is unavailable on your selected date and your host rejects your booking your credit card will not be charged.

    Your host's detailed contact information, including their phone number, address, and direction notes, will all be provided immediately upon successful confirmation of your experience (after your hosts accepts your booking and your credit card is successfully processed). This information will be emailed to you to the email address you used to sign up, and will also be visible on your Traveling Spoon profile.

    All prices are noted per person prices unless otherwise specified. Transfers are typically charged on a per car basis, not per person. Children aged 5-11 are 50% off, and infants aged 0-4 are free. Hosts set their own prices and Traveling Spoon marks up the experiences; on average hosts receive over 70% of the price paid by the traveler.

    100% of Traveling Spoon experiences are private! Just you and your host and host's family.

    Hosts typically respond to booking inquiries within 72 hours. If for some reason you have not heard from your host or if you have any questions you can always contact us at reservations@travelingspoon.com.

    Your safety and security are our top priority. To ensure this, Traveling Spoon personally vets 100% of all hosts, including an in-person host visit, to ensure each host and experience meets our strict quality requirements.

    Some hosts offer round-trip transfers as an optional add-on. A driver collects you from your hotel or residence, takes you to the experience, and brings you back at the end. Pricing is quoted per car, not per person, so a group shares one fare. Your host's exact pickup instructions come with your confirmation details once the booking is accepted. A few hosts arrange transfers differently — a one-way ride, or a pickup from a central meeting point — and where that is the case their profile says so in place of the round-trip wording.

    Many of our hosts accommodate solo travelers. You can see if a host accepts solo travelers by looking at the traveler range found next to the experience descriptions on the host profile (indicated by the numbers in parentheses next to "In-home meal", "Cooking experience" and "Market visit").

    Most of our Traveling Spoon experiences are incredibly family friendly and can accommodate infants and children. If a host is unable to accommodate children that will be noted in the "Notes" section of their profile. Our child pricing policy is children aged 5-11 are 50% off, and infants aged 0-4 are free.
