Amazing Cooking Experience - This was such an amazing experience! I learned to make so many curries and even coconut cream and milk. The two ladies went above and beyond and it was so enjoyable. I really recommend!

Wonderful experience - This was an outstanding experience. We visited with two children (aged 7 and 9). We were met by Shyama at the Kandy Central Market. We loved learning about the fruit and vegetables as we purchased them for lunch. Shyama was so warm with our children, including and involving them throughout the visit. The market was followed by a tuk tuk ride to a lovely outdoor kitchen surrounded by rice fields and the jungle. Shyama and her colleague taught us how to cook several curries, all of which were delicious. We loved the entire experience and will definitely do it again when next in Kandy.

Kandy Village Cooking Class - We absolutely loved this cooking class! We met Shyama at the Kandy Central Markets where she helped us select fresh local vegetables for our meals. We then took a short tuk tuk ride to Shyama's home where we were welcomed into her traditional outdoor Sri Lankan kitchen. Shyama guided us through the cooking of approx. five Sri Lankan dishes which we got to enjoy for lunch afterwards. The experience went for about 3.5 hours and was $30 USD per person. I would highly recommend choosing Kandy Village Cooking Class.

Amazing cooking class! - This experience was amazing, we did it with the local market experience. Bought all the fresh produce right there. Then we went with the tuk tuk to her house where she had built a separate working area for us to work in which was amazing! Really recommended.

Great local experience - Shyama met us at the Central market where we collected our vegetables and she told us all about the different varieties. We then had a 15min Tuktuk ride to her beautiful outdoor kitchen with wood stove and clay pots, where we were guided on how to cut the vegetables and prepare and cook the curries, including explanations and facts along the way. We even made our own coconut milk and cream. The food was delicious, and a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!!

Great experience - Sharma took us first to the central food market in Kandy where we could learn about the variety of fresh vegetables. After a 15 minutes car drive we arrived at her outdoor kitchen surrouded by trees and had a cup of tee. Then we started to cook different curry dishes. Sharma explained the procedure step by step. We had a lovely group and the experience was amazing. I recommend to everybody who wants to connect with Sri Lankas beautiful culture.

One of our best experiences in Sri Lanka - The cooking class was one of our best experiences so far in Sri Lanka. The market tour was very educational, with Shyama covering local vegetables, fruits and spices. The cooking lesson was well paced and a great set up with lots of tasty dishes prepared. We also got to make coconut milk and cream from scratch in addition to cooking and eating the traditional Sri Lankan dishes we made. Great value for money, I would highly recommend.
