Highlights
- Kandy Cooking Class At Best Kandy Kitchen - “AYUBOWAN! Welcome to Kandy Cooking Class. We are a traditional family living near the Kandy city center, close to the large Buddha statue at Bahirawakanda Mountain. Our home is nestled in a serene and beautiful green environment. Women excel in preparing traditional foods as they cook almost three times daily, making them highly experienced. Your instructors will be my wife, our sister, and our mother, and occasionally, our three adorable little girls will join in the cooking sessions. If you’re interested in exploring the local market, we can guide you and explain the various spices and vegetables. Join us to learn traditional cooking and savor divine food. We don’t have a professional chef; our teachers are my wife, sister, and mother, who are experts in traditional Sri Lankan cooking. The class takes place in our home kitchen, offering you a glimpse into Sri Lankan family life. Come, enjoy, and learn our traditional Sri Lankan cuisine. At the end of the class, we provide you with the recipes. If needed, we can arrange pick-up and drop-off services to your hotel (within the Kandy city area only).”

Fantastic! - I went with a friend and had an amazing time, the food was fantastic and we learnt a lot. The family were also very helpful when I realised I’d been bitten by a leech on my leg and needed help to stop the bleeding- very grateful!

A must do whilst in Sri Lanka! - What an experience!! We were welcomed into their family home and treated to an unforgettable experience cooking with them. They catered for us being vegan as well, creating a whole range of delicious dishes. Was very special to sit down after and eat this amazing food after learning so much about Sri Lankan cooking in their home. Such lovely people and a must do experience to learn about Sri Lankan life, cooking and culture first hand.

Fantastic cooking class in Kandy - The Kandy Cooking Class is hosted by the nicest family in Sri Lanka! They were so knowledgeable and friendly. They taught us lots about the cuisine and how to make each dish. And the food was delicious! We will definitely be trying to recreate them at home. We had so much fun. If you are in Kandy this class is a must do!
