Phenomenal Cooking Class - We had the most amazing cooking class with Malika and her mother!! Not only was it our first ever cooking class but I’m sure it will be our best for a very long time! Malika and her mother guided and showed us how to cook rice & curry in a very traditional way using clay pots and even a tool for scraping coconuts on our own. It was a very interesting experience and in the end one of the most tasteful dinners we had so far in Sri Lanka! We would absolutely recommend the cooking class if you’re nearby!

Fantastic cooking class with Malika - absolutely recommended to everyone! - Malika and her mother were just fantastic and we enjoyed every second of the cooking class! They prepared so many different vegetables and spices to be cooked, which was a beautiful sight in itself. Afterwards, Malika explained each step of the preparation of the different curries and left many steps to us - from extracting the coconut milk to chopping the vegetables and mixing the ingredients. We could leave the cooking at the stove to Malika and her mother, which was certainly a bit more relaxed for us. The meal at the end was simply fantastic! We could help ourselves to 10 different pots, all with such varied flavors and also visually wonderful! Thank you so much Malika! We are very happy to recommend your cooking course to anyone!

Amazing cooking class experience - Had the most amazing experience doing this cooking class with Malika and her family. They were so knowledgeable and amazing teachers, was so interesting to see the different techniques they use and getting to try them out for ourselves. We made ten dishes in total and we couldn’t fault a single one all of them were so tasty. The experience was so unique and memorable and not only the best food we have tried so far but also our favourite memory of our trip! They also sent us the recipes after so we can continue making these yummy dishes at home. They also have such a lovely place which made it even better- we wish we could have stayed longer. Couldn’t recommend this more- Kiera and Josh

Fantastic - The course is a 10/10! We felt very comfortable and cared for, everything was explained with many tips that you can also apply at home. We had 8 different vegetarian curries which all tasted fantastic. The ingredients are local and fresh, we learned how to make coconut milk and also learned a lot about Sri Lankan cuisine. At the end there was a delicious dessert from the mom and even a certificate. We would definitely come back!
