Description

Good to Know

Discover the authentic flavors of Sri Lanka in a unique, hands-on cooking class set in our serene island resort. Led by an experienced local chef, this immersive culinary experience goes beyond recipes—it's a deep dive into our culture, heritage, and the healing wisdom of traditional Sri Lankan cooking. What makes this experience truly special is our use of homegrown vegetables and herbs, cultivated organically right here at the resort. Guests will cook with fresh ingredients straight from our garden, learning how each item supports health and wellness in line with Ayurvedic principles. Using traditional clay pots, coconut spoons, and firewood stoves, guests will prepare a complete Sri Lankan meal just as it has been done for generations. Our chef shares not only step-by-step techniques but also family secrets and cultural insights that make each dish meaningful.

Amazing traditional Sri Lankan cooking class

We’ve cooked a lot of the traditional Sri Lankan dishes and it was amazing! The class consisted of a tour through the gardens where we learned about all the products used and the harvesting process. After that we received a traditional apron and got an explanation about the flavors used. We cooked 8 different recipes on wood fire. The taste was really good!

Sri Lankan Cooking Experience

A wonderful authentic experience in traditional sri lankan cooking from learning all about the different spices & the benefits to your health to learning to cook them over wood fires in clay pots, truly the best curry in Sri Lanka. Thank you to Sandi & her family for making us so welcome , what a great place Kandy Living is with such beautiful, peaceful surroundings.
