Kandy's most fun-worthy. - Apart from visiting the Botanical Garden and the Temple of the Tooth of Buddha, there's nothing more fun in Kandy than experiencing a cooking lesson! raneesh and his family were very honest, warm and patient in answering all my questions about food, and finally we came up with 12 dishes together and were able to boast about being Sri Lankan chefs when we got home~ (Recommendations you must try eggplant, and I'm happy to meet the raneesh family and two friendly German friends Mara & Jonathan who are more talented than I am at cooking)

Authentic insights into Sri Lankan cuisine: An unforgettable cooking class in Kandy - The hosts offer a unique opportunity to experience the authentic Sri Lankan cuisine up close. Particularly impressive is the wide selection of traditional dishes, which are lovingly prepared in a family and cozy environment. The hosts create a relaxed, pleasant atmosphere in which you immediately feel comfortable. There is a lot of laughter, and the casual conversations add to the special charm of the experience. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that the hosts are very careful to introduce the participants to the secrets of local cuisine and to take many souvenir photos. In the end, you get a collection of recipes so that the culinary impressions can also be recooked at home. A small criticism would be the market visit, which could have been a little more detailed. Especially with the spices and fruits, one would have liked more explanations to gain an even deeper understanding of the native ingredients. Nonetheless, the cooking class is a wonderful experience that provides deeper insights into Sri Lankan traditional cuisine and culture.

An unforgettable cooking class - During our stay in Kandy we attended this cooking class with Ranees and Chandrika. It was a wonderful experience that we would not want to miss on our trip. First we started with a visit to a local market where we got the ingredients for dinner and could taste fresh fruit. The dishes we cooked together in the evening were varied and all very delicious! We can recommend this cooking class not only because of the cooking, but also because you will find honest and warm hospitality here. It was just wonderful! Thank you for the great experience and unrestricted hospitality!

Absolute heart recommendation! - Just wonderful! Absolute heart recommendation and a must during a stay in Kandy!!! Pick up at the hotel, visit the market together to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. Joint preparation of various traditional dishes. Also vegan and vegetarian dishes possible. This was the best food we ate in Sri Lanka. You not only learn a lot about the spices, the fruit and vegetables, but also get a very authentic insight into the culture. The couple is super warm! THANK YOU for this incredible experience!

Highly recommended! - The host picked us up at the hotel itself at the agreed time. Then driven to the local Point of Sale to get ingredients and meet the other participants, were total with a small group of 6 people. Being able to cook a lot himself using his and his wife's instructions cooked! Much learned and very warm family, then had dinner together and brought home to the hotel.

Best night in Kandy - Had a very nice workshop with the family of Ranees. We were 4 girls from the Netherlands and 2 Australians, which was a nice mix. First to the Point of Sale, get the ingredients. Then went to Ranees' house and cooked with everyone. Very sweet family and beautiful stories shared with each other. The food was great, really delicious food. Thanks Ranees for the hospitality, an evening to remember. Would highly recommend it!

A great and super delicious experience! - Before cooking, we bought the ingredients together at the market and were greeted at his home by his wife with welcome drinks. The couple is super sweet, explains and shows everything exactly. You cook together in a small kitchen at their home in a relaxed atmosphere. Pick up and return is included in the price. Value for money is great and definitely recommended!

To discover! - Followers of home cooking classes on our Trips, it was here a very nice experience. Super friendly couple. Top result. Gargantuan as often in Sri Lanka. Even if English is not our strength, cooking is a sharing and you can do this activity without being bilingual 🤣 Live up to our experiences. We highly recommend 😉
