Great cooking class, highly recommended! - Great cooking class! First we visited the market, then went to the village, had tea and explanation about spices and other ingredients and then cooked about 10 dishes (we were a group of 8 persons). We especially liked that we learnt how to make coconut milk and coconut sambal. The dishes were very tasteful and we received the recepies so we can cook them at home. It was all very well arranged.

5/5 Amazing experience - must go :D - Amazing experience! Off the beaten path but reachable by car or tuk tuk. Very informative and gave us recipes afterwards. We helped prepare a lot of dishes within 2/3hours and were all deliscious. Totally recommended!

Very happy, and very full! 😋 - Now I understand why the reviews for Sudesh and Nandi's classes are so positive! Clear and easy communication on WhatsApp within minutes of booking. Sudesh picked us up in a tuktuk from our Airbnb with a smile and a joke, and whizzed us over to the thrumming Central Market. Then back to Sudesh's home, where there's a traditional kitchen complete with a clay lipa stove. Calm and patient Nandi ran us through ingredients, prep and cooking. Perfect for lovers of Sri Lankan cuisine. Do it, and enjoy!

Great experience and lovely hosts! - What a great experience this was! Definently would recommend including the market tour. We met Sudesh there, and bought the vegetables. The market was chaotic, but a fun way to experience the local life. Afterwards, we were brought to their village, we were kindly greeted with some tea. The cooking area looked lovely, it was very traditional but beautifully done. We were able to choose from different vegetables and then proceeded to the cooking process. Everything was explained well and we learned about the spices and different techniques. Such as making coconut milk. Finally we were able to enjoy what we cooked, everything was super tasteful! Even though we ate so much, they made us a delicious dessert, that we are still talking about. Overall a great experience to do with a group if you have time in Kandy and the sweetest hosts!

COOKING IN SRI LANKA - It has been an amazing experience. We cooked 5 different types of curries and a roti. A professional taught us how to prepare it. And then he set the table for us and we were able to taste it along with water and rice.

Best cooking we‘ve ever done! - This cooking class was fantastic! The chief cook has a lot of charm and very patiently and yet precisely leads you through the preparation of a Sri Lankan curry and numerous side dishes. You will learn how to use spices and properly salt food without resorting to dumping a lot in at the beginning. Everyone in our family of 3, including a 10 year old, was kept busy. Set out in the suburbs, this cooking class felt like the ultimate authentic cooking experience and most importantly, the food was delicious! Our 10 year old when back for seconds.

An amazing, authentic experience. Food was delicious - Would highly recommend the cooking class! We were promptly picked up from our hotel and taken to the markets to buy the local produce and poultry, there we met the others doing the cooking class. Afterwards we were transported to the village. They taught us about the different spices and flavours used in Sri Lankan cooking, everything was prepared from scratch and we made several different Sri Lankan dishes. There were lots of laughs and everyone got involved in the process. Afterwards, we enjoyed the incredible meal. The cooking instructor was very knowledgeable and experienced. We were also given the recipes to use back home. A must for anyone wanting to immerse themself in the Sri Lankan culture.

A wonderful authentic cooking experience. - What a great authentic experience and so much to learn from the excellent chef and cook on this course set alongside the owners home. I recommend adding the market option as you get to experience the hustle and bustle of Kandy’s fabulous fruit and veg stalls amongst the atmosphere of market traders calling out their offerings. I was pleasantly surprised at how many dishes we prepared, at least eight with various prep and spices ( quantity to your own taste and heat). Also it was nice to meet the family and of course taste the wonderful dishes.

Amazing experience - The cooking class was a wonderful opportunity to get to know sri lanka’s food, all of the staff were really nice and helpful, we learned a lot, and the food was amazing!! Definitely recommend this experience!

Learn how to cook food like locals ! - If you’re looking for an experience to elevate your senses (and taste) this tour might be for you. It’s in a remote village on the outskirts of Kandy, in the nature , a prefect surrounding for your course. Outdoors Kitchen is well equipped, teacher speaks English very well (she has been teaching for 5 years at the same place). She will test your knowledge of local spices and ingredients (be ready). I was able to prepare 8 dishes in 2hrs. Was it good? Tested almost like the food I have been eating in Sri Lanka for 3 weeks. They will send you the receipts afterwards. Honestly one of the best thing I have done in Kandy with the Tooth temple visit
