Unforgettable cooking class experience - Unforgettable experience during the cooking class. First we went to the local market, bought all the ingredients and after went to the hosts home where the whole his family met for s. We cooked 7 or 8 different dishes. The atmosphere of this class was super friendly and it more felt like you are cooking at your friends home. If you want to try the authentic cuisine, this class is definitely the one to choose.

A great taste of Sri Lanka - We had such a great time with Danuka and his family. We went to the markets to learn all about the local produce then went back to their house to prepare our meal. We made so much food, more than 7 different dishes to go along with the rice. We were so full in the end and learnt so much about cooking a Sri Lankan meal. We'll definitely be practicing more at home.

5 stars - What a great experience my wife and I both enjoyed it very much. We were picked up from our hotel, taken to a fruit, veggies & herbs market where the host showed & explained to us the main ingredients for the dishes we were going to create, we also did some taste testing at the market trying local fruits and veggies. Once we arrived to the hosts house the whole family was their to great us then the cooking began. We made 5 different curries using fish, prawns, veggies & chicken. It was so good that by the end it felt like family. I recommend this to anyone looking for an authentic lesson in Sri Lankan cuisine and culture. Thank you so much for a great time, much love, increase the peace.

Brilliant experience - The experience was brilliant! Visiting the market, drinking the king coconut and being welcomed so nicely into Dhanuka’s home. I learned so much and it was very fun and informative. There was lots and lots of food and it was all so delicious!!! The car we travelled in was clean, air conditioned and safe. Really glad we did this and can’t thank our host enough!

Lovely experience with a great organizer - We had a really nice time. First the instructor arranged the visit to a local market where we learn and sample a variety of vegetables and fruit which was great. And then he welcomed us at his home with his family and we all started cooking. The lesson was interactive and very friendly. Dishes were all amazing and the home had a very warm friendly atmosphere. Thank you very much!

My first cooking class experience - I booked a cooking class, that’s my first experience in that class of entertainment and I was quite surprised. First of all guide showed his flexibility and managed to tailor that tour to my late arrival. The transportation service was nice, clean and modern car, experienced driver. The cooking class actually takes place in the real house of local people, I was warmly greeted by guide’s family members and they helped us to cook. They went above and beyond when tried to find a meat products during local festival, while all the supermarkets do not have any meat products available. And as a conclusion, I have got a unique experience of preparing 7 Sri-Lankan style dishes and they were surprisingly delicious.

Above and beyond! - This was a spectacular experience from start to finish. We expected to cook some great food, but we did not expect to be welcomed into the home of the Prasad family with such generosity. We had a fantastic time in the market, picking out food, and then we went home and cooked together, learning about Sri Lankan food and also a little bit about family life in a small town outside Colombo.

Best cooking class ever! - It was a fantastic experience, and I felt like I was being welcomed into a family! I would love to do it again and highly recommend it. "Cooking Class Sri Lanka with Locals" truly captures the essence of Sri Lankan cuisine. The unique market tours and authentic cooking classes created an immersive cultural exchange. The hands-on learning, many new dishes, and hospitality made me wish this activity would continue! I have done many cooking classes worldwide, but this one truly wins the competition for being the best! I can't wait to try and recreate these dishes with my family!
