We had a wonderful time together with Buddhima who met us at our hotel in Kandy and took us to her private house. We started out with tea and traditional Sri Lankan sweats/snacks. Then we started preparing curries for dinner under Buddhima’s instructions and we learned a lot about traditional spices and food in general. Finally we sat down together and enjoyed a delicious dinner

Description
Good to Know
Buddhima, a warm and friendly host will pick you up from your Kandy hotel and drive you 30 min to her home. Sri Lankan cuisine is a blend of spices, flavors and colors and Buddhima is delighted to share her passion for Sri Lankan cuisine with people visiting her beautiful country. Buddhima, her mother, and two children Mandil and Sandun (when they are home) will welcome you into their rustic, family home in the countryside of Kandy. They live in a small village near the Gadaladeniya temple in a leafy neighborhood. Roll up your sleeves and learn to cook in her small kitchen Sri Lankan curries using her mother's secret recipes. Your private cooking class will last an hour - you will learn to make dhal (lentils cooked in coconut milk), fish or cassava (tapioca) curry and a regional vegetable dish like banana flower. Armed with a wealth of knowledge about the spices and ingredients used in Sri Lankan cooking, enjoy the meal you helped prepare with the whole family over refreshing beer!

Buddhima arrived at my hotel in a tuk tuk to take me to the local markets where we bought fruit and veges for our cooking feast. She happily explained all the veges and fruit that I wasn’t familiar with and we just enjoyed walking and chatting through the hustle and bustle of downtown Kandy. After arriving at Buddhima’s house and meeting her lovely mum and sweet sons we had tea and some Sri Lankan sweet delicacies and then donned an apron to begin our cooking feast. Everything was explained alon...read more
