Unforgettable cooking class - We are enthusiastic about the cooking class at Erangi. This day could not have been better! This course will always remain in our best memory. In their traditional kitchen, we prepared everything ourselves on the gas stove, in clay pots. She lovingly and professionally explained to us what spice is called, which spice is used in which dish. We prepared 5 vegetable curries, a fish curry, a sweet potato curry and rice. She let us try to open the coconut with a machete. We prepared papadams, in a small pan with a spoon from the coconut. She showed us how to measure with her fingers how much water the washed rice needs to become delicious. As if eating the curries at the laid table your mother and Erangi prepared for us absolutely, delicious omelets with sweet coke filling. 😍

Unforgettable experience - Erangy teached us, how to cook Sri Lanka food. We coud choose many vegetables and fish or chicken. Then she showed us everything very clearly and we did it on our own. She touched our hearts! We are very impressed by the heartful kind manner she did it. The class is in her house, which is very lovingly and also very clean. She has a lot of patience.♥️

Amazing cookery class, hands on experience of cooking, eating and learning about Sri Lankan food. - We visited the Negombo Cooking Class on day 1 of our trip to Sri Lanka in August 2024. The trip was organised by our tour operator and my husband and I visited with our children (boys aged 12 & 13). Our host had so much knowledge of Sri Lankan cookery and taught us a lot about using spices and coconuts. We cooked chicken curry, different vegetable curry, rice and sambal. We chose the vegetables we wanted to use, helped prepare the vegetables and book the dishes. It was very hands on which our children especially enjoyed. We sat down to eat after all the hard work and the food was delicious. We were sent the recipes by email after the class. I would highly recommend, it was lovely meeting the host and her family and being welcomed into her home and understand real Sri Lankan cookery. Thank you so much

Cooking Sri Lanka style - A great experience to do. We spent the afternoon learning how to make vegetable and other curries. It was amazing to see the skill in cooking a whole meal using all the spices to make the different curries. Lovely friendly people in their own home.

Absolutely perfect experience! - My partner and I chose this cooking class for our final day in Sri Lanka and we are so happy we did it! Our host welcomed us into her home and taught us so much about Sri Lankan ingredients and techniques, including making our own coconut milk! She taught us how to make 11 dishes which were all delicious and then she made us a dessert while we enjoyed lunch. We loved everything about this class and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing cultural and food experience.
