Not to be missed - We loved our stay in Galle and this was certainly a highlight. Galle was at the end of our Sri Lankan trip so the cooking class was perfect as we learnt to cook the delicious curries we had been enjoying for the last few weeks. As well as learning to cook six dishes we also learnt about the spices and how to use them and we also picked up some handy cooking tips. The food tasted just delicious. The presentation the class was excellent and extremely professional. We would highly recommend.

Great class - We had an enjoyable cooking class with Sanju. Our group could have been seen as very challenging as it included included 4 locals, one of whom is an exceptional cook. However, Sanju kept it interesting and fun for all six of us. The six dishes that we prepare were delicious and the recipe pamphlet means that the dishes can be recreated at home. Highly recommend.

Delicious Food, Great Setting, Family Friendly - This was a great experience for us and our three young children. It was highly interactive and Sanju does a great job to ensure everyone is able to participate in the preparation of the dishes. The duration of the lesson at 90 minutes is right on point. Enough time to enjoy the experience and the meal whilst still leaving plenty of time to explore Galle Fort. The curries, in terms of flavour and ingredient combinations, are very different (better) to those that are available at most other hotels and restaurants. The ingredients and the flavours are spectacular. As was the setting. The cooking lessons are conducted in an outdoor kitchen in the garden behind the family's restaurant. It added real atmosphere to the experience.

Great cooking class - informative and fun! - Really great cooking class - had great time and learnt loads. Cooked 6 dishes which were all amazing and it was a huge amount of fun with our lovely Sri Lankan hosts learning more about the food and family life! Highly recommend.

Incredible Galle Market Visit & Cooking Lesson with an Award-Winning Chef - The cooking class began with executive sous chef Roshan Rosa taking us through the immaculate Galle fruit & vegetable market followed by the beach-side seafood market to select fresh ingredients for our lesson. He is very knowledgeable and told us how to tell if fish are fresh and he nutritional value of the various local vegetables and fruit on sale. We then returned to the Galle Fort Hotel and arranged to regroup later to cook lunch. Meanwhile Roshan and his team prepped all the garlic, onion, chillies & the rest of the produce. The team assembled a portable kitchen and together with my daughter they made around 6 dishes; tuna curry, prawn curry, a dry aubergine curry, string bean curry, grated beetroot curry, banana flower curry and a number of delicious others. Roshan explained the use of the spices and ingredients throughout the process including quantities. We then enjoyed an incredibly fresh and delicious lunch. My favourite was the tuna, my husband loved the prawns. It was a feast for the eyes and the tastebuds and Roshan is not only a very talented prize-winning chef, he is absolutely lovely too. We are hoping to repeat this culinary extravaganza at home but suspect we will need to take Roshan back to Australia with us!

An experience we’ll love recreating at home - We had such a lovely morning having a hands on cookery experience with Sanju and her husband, they were so welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed learning how to cook Sri Lankan cuisine. We'll enjoy recreating the dishes at home with the help of the recipe booklet provided. It was an added bonus being the only 2 on the course with it being low season. Thank you for a great lesson and providing ever lasting memories of a great holiday

Awesome cooking class in a great setting. - We were lucky enough to be the only 2 in the class. Sanju explained all about the different ingredients and was knowledgeable and very informative. As well as friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this cooking class.

Finally did a cooking class in Sri Lanka - A great experience in Galle Fort, it’s a lovely local teaching authentic Sri Lankan curries, recipes taught to her by her mum and her grandmother. The class was 1.5 hours followed by lunch - excellent way to spend a morning . A nice thing about the class was that recipes were provided , ingredients are all available to replicate and was a nice venue too. Would recommend this.

Sanju was the most lovely... - Sanju was the most lovely person to teach this cooking class! I had the best time cooking with her and chatting with her family :) The food we made was the best I tried in Sri Lanka!!

An excellent morning of cooking. - This was a really wonderful way to spend a morning. We learnt a lot about Sri Lankan cooking and ingredients, and Sanju was a knowledgeable and patient teacher. And best of all, we got to eat to dishes we had prepared for lunch! Overall we prepared 5-6 dishes, so it was a feast! We had a lovely time, and thoroughly recommend this experience.
