Fantastic experience not to be missed! - We spent the morning with Shyama, visiting the famous Kandy market. We shopped as the locals do, picking out the best produce on offer. We then spent the next few hours making some beautiful local dishes (9 in total) with the helpful instruction of Shyama in her beautiful authentic Sri Lankan kitchen. We learned the best spices and recipes to use, aswell as how to make coconut milk! Her lovely and welcoming family made the experience all that more special

Delicious, authentic and lots of fun! - What a wonderful way to spend a morning! Tucked away in the hills just outside Kandy (easy tuk tuk ride from town), Shyama provided a masterclass in Sri Lankan cooking! Using a fascinating range of local ingredients and spices, she talked us expertly through the preparation of seven delicious dishes. We loved every minute of it. Highly recommended! Thank you Shyama :)

Amazing experience - Absolutely amazing! First of all we got to the local market to collect our own herbs, vegetables, meat and fruits that we will prepare later on! Good explanation from the host and she has a lot to tell as well. Food was absolutely amazing and we got a special dessert as well! It’s really worth visiting ☺️

Fantastic cooking class - I highly recommend this amazing experience. My host and teacher Shyama took me on a tour of the markets to explain all the various fruits and vegetables in Sri Lanka and their uses. She is very knowledgeable! I was keen to buy spices and she directed me to an excellent spice merchant where I bought way too much. Next we took a tuk tuk to her home outside of Kandy Village. The cooking school is in a beautiful outdoor room set amongst the forest. The next two hours we went to work making soooo many dishes. She explained all the spices and what was best for each dish. By the time we were done I was an expert 🤣. Shyama was wonderfully patient, helpful and generous with her knowledge and I had the very best day! I highly recommend this experience!

Authentic and well explained! - We met at the main market in Kandy and went shopping together. We were allowed to decide for ourselves which vegetables we wanted. We were super explained what vegetables are and we were allowed to taste fruit and buy for ourselves. The kitchen is a few kilometers outside of Kandy, the drive was organized. We cooked 9 hot dishes and 3 cold dishes. It was super delicious. What remains too much is distributed to the poorer population.

Market and Cooking Class in Village - Amazing cooking class in Kandy. We were picked up from our hotel and visited the bustling jostling market to buy ingredients for lunch. We made 5 vege curries, fish curry, fresh coconut milk, dahl and coconut pancakes. Delicious food and Shyama was a very good teacher! Would recommend

Delicious cooked and eaten at Shyama! - Great cooking class from Shyama! First you go to the market to buy vegetables where she tells you a lot about all the different vegetables. Then to her traditional Sri Lankan cuisine to make delicious dishes. She explains it well and lets you do everything yourself. Then I had a nice dinner. Super!
