Experience Details

This isn’t just a cooking class — it’s a deep dive into the heart of Sri Lankan culture, hospitality, and home-style traditions.


At Tasty Tasks Cooking Class, you’ll experience the warmth of rural Sri Lankan life while learning how to prepare flavorful dishes using time-honored methods passed down through generations. What sets this experience apart is the authentic village-style approach: cooking with clay pots, using firewood stoves (if you wish), and discovering native herbs and spices in their purest form.


You won’t just cook—you’ll feel, smell, and taste the island’s rich culinary heritage.


And to make your visit even more relaxing and memorable, you’ll be welcomed to enjoy a refreshing swim in a private outdoor pool before the cooking session—something you won’t find in most cooking classes.


From traditional dishes like Halapa and Pol Roti, to sweet endings with curd, kithul honey, and tropical fruits, every part of this activity is made with love, nature, and Sri Lankan soul
