Great cooking class - Had the most amazing time with this cooking tour. Started with a trip to the market for ingredients, which was an experience not to be missed! Then we were taken high up in the hills to a family home for the cooking lesson with Nandini and her helper. It was really interesting - we were involved with every step of the cooking process and what we produced was fantastic! Easily the best food we had in Sri Lanka, and more food than we could eat! Nandini was so kind and I would highly recommend this class.

Fantastic, learning to cook from locals! - We wanted to learn to cook so well that we could actually do it at home. And now we can, thanks to Nandani, Yasani and Sudesh. We were here for 6 days and even stayed in their Airbnb. We can highly recommend both the cooking class and the Airbnb. You learn to cook the food exactly the way they cook it for their family. No wish remains unfulfilled. Sudesh was able to arrange everything else for us without any problems. Thank you very much!

An unforgettable experience - An unforgettable experience in Kandy—a definite must-do. Everything is carefully explained step by step in a traditional Sri Lankan kitchen. There was a wide selection of food, and one could individually choose which vegetables to cook. In the process, we discovered many new varieties of vegetables that are typical of the region. When we mentioned that someone in our group was celebrating a birthday, they immediately organized a small birthday celebration. The family is incredibly kind and creates a welcoming atmosphere. We would highly recommend this cooking class experience to anyone.

Amazing authentic Sri Lankan cooking experience! - We had such a special experience! Shayama and Nindani are wonderful hosts and chefs. We learnt so much about how to cook authentic Sri Lankan food - 9+ dishes in all! Truly amazing. Make sure you come hungry and get stuck in. Highly recommend!

Incredible Experience - We are doing a tour of Sri Lanka with AGS Tours and the incredible Sudesh (look up and use him). We had to change a plan due to the weather and he said his wife had a cooking school that even though they were booked that day would find a way. He took us to his home in Kandy where we met his wife Yasani and mother Nandani. After feeding their stunning Koi Carp, they took us to the gorgeous authentic kitchen, his children took the boys into the house and taught them to play ‘Carron’ a Sri Lankan game that they are now addicted to. We were asked to choose 5 vegetables from a huge and eclectic collection. Under matriarch Nandani’s careful instruction we made Coconut milk from scratch, prepared and spiced all the dishes before setting them to cook many of them on a wood fired clay oven. I somewhat nervously made poppadoms in coconut oil over an open flame before we served up what I can only describe as a banquet!! Chicken Curry Gotukola Sambal Ochra Curry Green Beans Eggs Poached in Coconut Miik Loofah curry (you can eat them - who knew?!) Dhal Aubergine Moju (this is insanely good) Poppadoms All of this done without warning in a traditional kitchen in 1.5 hours! Using the first and second pressing of the Coconut milk gave flavours unlike anything we have eaten here and is a touch that only a family cook would bother to do. This was a magical experience and we are indebted to Yasani for welcoming us into her home and doing this with no notice. If you actually book you get to go to the market and choose your ingredients as part of the class. This was a truly memorable experience of real authentic Sri Lanka. Thank you to the whole Gamage family - it truly is a Family Affair!

More than a cooking class - So much more than a cooking class! Though you do get some hands on cooking and all the recipes afterwards, you also get to spend time n a family home and learn about Sri Lankan culture too. This was a great experience!

Super authentic, fun experience, must do when in Kandy! - We had SUCH an amazing time! We started off at the market which was a very local experience. It was fun to see everything in action. Everyone was super nice and we also bought some fruit for tomorrow to take home. Nandani & Yasani were great chefs and super sweet ladies. We laughed and had so much fun. They spoke good English and we got to learn so much about Sri Lankan cuisine. This is a MUST do when in Kandy!

Wonderful cooking experience - Wonderful cooking experience. I've been to Sri Lanka many times and tried lots of different meals,but this by far was probably the best meal I've ever had. Nandhini (the chef) was brilliant, she really took the time to explain all the different components of the meal, the spices and ingredients. Everything was fresh and they catered to our dietary requirements. The whole process had been very well thought out and we'll planned. Would highly recommend this experience.

Amazing evening - Amazing evening! We had a great time cooking 7 different curry´s with a local family in their beautiful outside kitchen. The women showed us how to make our own coconut milk and guided us through the recipes of the delicious curry´s (we could choose the vegetables ourselves) and pancakes as dessert. Verry kind and welcoming hosts. One of the other participants had a daughter who turned 9 that day. The family surprised her at the end inviting her in their home that they had decorated with birthday baloons, music and a birthday cake! We 100% recommend this activity! Bonus: afterwards they sent us the recipes as well. Now we can try it again at home sometime 🙂

Excellent, friendly, delicious. - Excellent, friendly, delicious. The family home and family atmosphere was fantastic! Everybody in the family helps and discusses the ingredients and cooking style. The experience was very interactive and engaging, the ingredients were fresh and delicious and the meal at the end was incredible! They made us feel like family.
