Comments on: What’s Cookin’ in Battambang http://www.uncorneredmarket.com/2007/03/whats-cookin-in-battambang/ measuring the Earth with our feet...

This cooking course was a terrific value -- for the instruction alone, but then you had the Cambodian market tour, the food of course, the company, and the history lesson. Can't beat it. Regarding the comparison between Cambodian and Thai cuisine: without being an expert, I'd say that Thai food is a bit more diverse. In Thai cuisine, I sense more defined, distinct regional dishes and variety. Having said that, I certainly enjoyed eating both Cambodian food and Thai food on the road. By the way, I'm laughing at the characterization of the class as socio-politics over the grinder. I love it. It sounds like a book title to me. @Elaine: Nice to see you here. Glad to know that you enjoyed the post and photos. Food is important to us and has proven a gateway to people and culture throughout our travels. @Imelda: I just realized after a recent comment came that we never responded to your comment.

(@TheGourmetGirl) There was side link to What's Cookin in Battambang. As I am the president of an online food and wine magazine, this immediately caught my attention. Thanks for sharing a great article and pictorial of your experience. Elaine Giammetta Came across your site via a tweet about an ice cave!

Hey, the course is cheap! good value indeed. Does the variety differ alot from Thai cuisine? I like this page ; socio-politics over the grinder:-)). Greetings from Prague!

I was just about to send you guys an email about the site...but you got to it first! Sorry to hear that Emilie and another girl got sick! We also had the fish for the Amok...so maybe we just lucky and had a better bunch of fish...or, our stomachs just have a lot more bugs in them already : ) The next day in Battambang, Dan ate some bugs...not for me! http://www.uncorneredmarket.com/2007/03/bugs-and-blessings/ We will likely be in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in late August/September, so maybe our paths will cross again...I hope. Take care and happy travels! Audrey and Dan Hi Yann and Emilie!

We just stumbled upon your site, it looks very nice indeed. Just a comment on the cooking class: Emilie was violently sick a few hours after. Not me though and an other girl in the class that we met later was also sick. I was fine and the food was very good tasting. The conclusion reached by the two sickos was that they had the old fish for their fish Amok? Here is our blog about the cooking class: http://ye-blogs.blogspot.com/2007/03/cooking-classes-and-rural-train-riding.html and our photo gallery: http://ye-photographs.smugmug.com/gallery/2545609#133498824 We currently are in India, Delhi. We have our Pakistan, Chinese, Tajik and Kyrgyz visa, maybe we will see you in Central Asia if that is still your plan. take care, Yann and Emilie Hello Dan and Audrey,
