Kandy Cooking Class was truly fantastic. The hosts were kind, fun and knowledgeable. We learnt so much about Sri Lankan food, cooking, culture and daily. You'll learn new cooking techniques that can easily be repeated at home as well You can discover our traditions and learn historical tips about our unique cuisine.

An unforgettable, authentic family experience in Kandy! 5 stars!

We had an amazing cooking class with Chami’s family. His mother, sister, and wife welcomed us into their home kitchen and taught us how to prepare 8 delicious, traditional Sri Lankan vegetable curries, along with coconut sambol and roti. Even though our English isn't perfect, they were so warm and patient that we understood each other perfectly. The food was hands down the best we tasted in Sri Lanka, and at the end, they even shared the recipes with us. If you want a real, authentic experience ...read more

Great experience highly recommended

What a real honour to be allowed into someone’s home and learn how to cook authentic Sri Lankan food with such a lovely family. We learnt some great simple techniques that we look forward to trying at home. All topped off with some great food to eat at the end of the experience. Highly recommended !

Sri Lankan Cooking Class

A must do experience! The cooking class was ran by multiple generations of Sri Lankan ladies with vast knowledge- we cooked many curry’s (around 12 dishes) and all were fantastic- favourites were hard to choose but the eggplant curry (brinjal moju), mango curry and the chicken curry were all standouts. The host was very responsive by WhatsApp, and the ladies were incredibly welcoming and friendly. Would recommend for a authentic experience.
