Fantastic cooking school experience

Fantastic cooking class with Sajee and his wife Susie. The explanation about the ingredients and when to use different spices was excellent. Learning how to make coconut milk was an added bonus along with my favourite, coconut sambal. The meal at the end was the best so far in Sri Lanka and would be hard to beat. Highly recommend.

A thoroughly informative and fun class!

Thank you Sajee and Susie for hosting our family of 8 adults. We all LOVED it and was a highlight of our trip. Next time we are all together we are all cooking a curry and doing a curry night! We will send our results!! It was extra special for the birthday boy and we all enjoyed the special cake. Thank you again. It was much appreciated The recipes and extra information is an awesome follow up.

Sake’s Cooking Place - the Perfect Sri Lankan experience

The whole experience was so well done. From our greeting and throughout the whole evening, it was professional, organised and stress free. We were in a group of 5 people and allowed everyone to participate and not be crowded. Every step was explained, the ingredients were well laid out and presentation was perfect. The final meals were delicious and food was plentiful. Would highly recommend.

Great hands-on introduction to Sri Lankan cooking

We really enjoyed our cooking class with Sajee and Suzy. It was a fun and very hands-on way to learn more about Sri Lankan cuisine, in a lovely and relaxed setting. Sajee’s explanations were very clear and easy to follow. He took the time to explain the different spices and ingredients, how they are used, and the techniques behind each dish. Both Sajee and Suzy were incredibly kind and patient, guiding us through each step and making the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. They were also ve...read more
