Amazing, authentic Sri Lanka food experienceexperience - We booked the night before for the morning class, we were picked up at our hotel and driven to the residence where the cooking class took place. It was wonderful!! Hands on, clear explanations of food, choice of foods and ingredients. Our host checked the level of heat for chilli and we made our dishes accordinly. It was an entertaining, informative morning with the most amazing array of dishes to eat for lunch.

Brilliant, authentic, educational - Absolutely amazing experience!! I would highly recommend. We were taken around the local market by Sudesh where he explained to us the different Sri Lankan vegetables and we bought ingredients that were needed for the cooking. We then prepared and cooked 8 different Sri Lankan curry’s in a traditional Sri Lankan kitchen with the help of Sudeshs amazing mum and wife. The food tasted fabulous and we really liked how you could choose which vegetables you wanted to cook with. We were also provided with all the recipes. A must do experience whilst in Kandy.

Super fun! - It was great fun, together with another woman we cooked delicious. An elderly woman has accompanied us during cooking and she explained everything to us. She is easy to understand, and you can really do all the actions yourself!

Unique and authentic cooking class! - We have done several cooking classes in other countries and this was by far the best and most unique! Because it is not high season my sister and I were the only “students” there and received one on one instruction. The class took place at a home in a small village with an outdoor clay kitchen - we made 9 dishes and even learned how to make coconut milk starting with breaking open a whole coconut (not an easy task!). We learned about the main spices used in Sri Lankan cooking and picked out fresh ingredients at the market including chicken, pumpkin, okra, eggplant, etc. Our hard work was rewarded with delicious coconut pancakes for dessert. You will love this class!

Amazing experience - We had an amazing time at the cooking class. The communication was super easy (Sudesh speaks fluent English - the best we wittnessed in Sri Lanka so far) and the whole family was extremely kind and the food was more than excellent. This cooking class is for sure the best one around. We would definitely come back. If you are looking for the perfect Sri Lanka cooking experience this is the place to go.

Cooking class - We’ve had a fantastic time today on this cooking experience. The host communicated well and picked us up on time to take us into their home, everything was easy and the host has a beautiful home. We sat outside and enjoyed tea on arrival then were shown all their home made spices and a huge selection of vegetables. We made plenty of tasty dishes with the vegetables and spices, the host was great asking if there were any allergies or preferences and taught us how to make delicious Sri Lankan Curries, home made popadoms and spices vegetable dishes. We enjoyed our DELICIOUS food outside and even got some spices to take home. A real treat to be welcomed into their home and learn about some traditional food with a delicious meal to finish off.

No doubt best cooking class - We really enjoyed our cooking class! The family was very warm and welcoming and we learned a lot during thé class. We went to the market with the woman who gave the cooking class which was a ''surplus''. The meal was delicious and there was even a more delicious dessert! I would highly recommend to do this activity!

Fabulous traditional and familiar cooking class - The cooking class in Kandy was absolutely fabulous! At the beginning we got a little tour through the garden and the chief showed us some interesting fruits and spices which are growing at their home garden. Then we got a little introduction in the different spices and after that the class started. We cooked all together so many different dishes (you can choose between different dishes and vegetables) and you also can try a little bit before everything is ready. The kitchen is a very traditional one and some dishes were cooked over the fire. The whole family of the cooking class was so heartfelt and kindly. We also got some little sweet snacks in between and at the end you can also buy some homemade spices. It was such a delicious evening and your tummy is definitely full at the end.
