Experience Details
Shifu lives in Wattala, an hour's drive from Colombo, and is a passionate cook and decorator in addition to being a homemaker and mother. She learned to cook from her mother when she was a teenager and has not stopped cooking since, experimenting with unique cooking techniques whenever she can. Being half Malay and half Moore, and having friends from various communities, she has learned a variety of dishes from recipes she has gleaned from grandmothers, aunts, neighbors and friends. She cooks authentic Sri Lankan food, both Sinhalese and Muslim cuisines.
Shifu will welcome you into her home with a steaming cup of milk tea or a refreshing lime juice depending on the season. As you sip on your welcome drink she will introduce you to Sri Lankan cuisine, the ingredients used and how she learned to cook. Book this private cooking class in Wattala and learn more about Sri Lankan Muslim cooking. Cook three dishes during this hands-on cooking class right outside Colombo.
