Best Culinary Experience in Sri Lanka! - This was the most wonderful cooking experience and a highlight of my stay in Sri Lanka. The class included sourcing fresh produce from the market in Kandy and cooking a selection of authentic dishes in a beautiful setting. Shyama is a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic teacher. I was introduced to local spices and a variety of new recipes to try at home. I would recommend this class to anyone!

Best experience in Sri Lank - We went to this cooking class with 16 people in a group. We were transported from the queens hotel by taxi transfer. When we got there the host was so kind and everyone there was very friendly and accommodating. We learnt about the local vegetation, Sri Lankan spices and the process of making coconut milk. We then made 5 different curries all from scratch and helped with every aspect of cooking. They then prepared srilankan desert for us. I cannot recommend this experience enough. A true Sri Lanka cooking experience from a lovely group of people.

Amazing experience with a great cooking teacher! - It was an amazing experience! Shyama met us at the market (pickup was offered but we had a car) and we bought all the ingredients we needed for the cooking class later and she also explained some local vegetables and how they prepare and cook them. After the market we drove to her place where we were welcomed with some Sri Lankan tea in a really lovely clay hut. She is a great cooking teacher! We cooked the meals (5 veggie curries of our choosing, chicken curry and rice) ourselves with her and her assistants help and later ate everything (or at least we tried, there was just too much food for 2 persons). In the end she made us Sri Lankan pancakes which we loved since we arrived in Sri Lanka and they were absolutely delicious! If you think about a cooking class, we can definitely recommend going with Shyama‘s class! Lots of love from Germany!

great evening as a solo traveler - I had a great evening at Kandy Village Cooking Class. I was there alone and felt super comfortable with the two women. I learned a lot about the regional vegetables on the market and now know how to cook different Sri Lankan curries. Thank you very much!:)

Amazing cooking class!!! - Her cooking class was amazing. We went shopping at the market together and learned about vegetables. She taught me a total of 9 dishes and made coconut milk from scratch. It was a great experience and I'm very satisfied. I would recommend her lessons.

Great fun, must do if you’re in Kandy! - We had an amazing time at this cooking class, we learnt about so many dishes, especially detail such as how coconut milk is made and other side dishes prepared. We got to choose 5 vegetable curries as well as egg curry, chicken curry, pancakes and popadoms. The family were so kind, helpful and informative. The price is fair and consistent with everyone which shows honesty. We had a lot of fun and would highly recommend!

Delicious and fun cooking class - The cooking class with market visit was an amazing experience! Shyama and her family are really sweet and fun. Also the outside kitchen was beautiful! We got to pick 5 vegetables at the market to cook with and I really wanted to make a special recipe, which wasn’t planned to learn but she still wanted to show how to make it!

Tast and cosy cooking class - We had such a nice experience! The market was an unique experience and then followed up with a great educational cooking class. During the class we could chat about the SL culture. And my son was playing with her children. A nice and tasteful experience. Would definitely recommend to take this class with her.
