This is not BS, and not only recipes were lost but also affected many arts like traditional dance, music, carving techniques and so on.
I failed to find a Cambodian cooking book from the 1950-1970 period, actually I can’t even find a restaurant menu from the past Image

Given the marked class divide, Traditional Khmer dishes in pre 1950s rural kitchens were probably not serving lighly steamed fish amok with a delicate neem leaf garnish.

She says "Verbally". I find it hard to believe that everyone who could cook died or left the country during that time.
up to you...
