Wonderful cooking experience with a lovely warm welcoming family - We had an absolutely wonderful evening cooking with Ranees and his family. We were made to feel incredibly welcome in their home. We started with a visit to the market to buy all the vegetables we needed, Ranees was keen to ask what we would like to try as well as explaining about vegetables we hadn't seen before. Afterwards we went to their home and were warmly welcomed before heading to the kitchen. Me and my mum thoroughly enjoyed cooking with Ranees and Chandrika in their traditional family kitchen. They were incredibly knowledgeable of Sri Lankan cookery and we learnt how to prepare all the vegetables, make coconut milk and cook so many dishes. The time in the kitchen flew by and at the end we sat down to an absolute feast of about a dozen dishes! Chatting with Ranees and his family, including his talented daughter, was very special. My mum and I have taken other cookery courses before and this one has been the best by far and this is because it felt like an evening spent with warm welcoming friends. As Ranees uses WhatsApp it was all really simple to organise too. I thoroughly recommend anyone to join a course with Yummy Kandy Cooking class. Thank you to you and your family Ranees.

Amazing Experience! - Wow what an incredible evening. This cooking class is an absolute must in Kandy! First we travelled to the local market where we watched Ranees interect with the locals and felt immersed in the experience. We were invited warmly into Ranees and Chandrika's home where we cooked an insane amount of great food! Every dish was amazing and it was fun to learn in a traditional home kitchen. Ranees and Chandrika are really special people, they are passionate and proud of their country. They really make you feel like you are old friends sharing stories while enjoying a fabulous meal. Hands down best meal in Sri Lanka and would recommend everyone to go!

Unforgettable experience! Best cooking class in Sri Lanka - We had such a great experience with Ranees and his family! I have rarely met such lovely people who would do anything to make you feel at home. They were very spontaneous and flexibel with their receipes. They could easily make it vegan and even left out some important spices because of my intolerances. But it was still the best sri lankan Rice & Curry I have had during my whole stay (3 weeks!). I really enjoyed visiting the market and seeing all different kinds of vegetables they use in Sri Lanka. Ranees even got me some special medicine for my stomache. I just know that my money is well invested here.

Time flew by, cooking, learning and chatting for a few hours. Sitting down for lunch afterwards, the food was crazy good! We went home afterwards with a full belly and grateful to have spent such a lovely time with family. Thank you.

Outstanding experience, delicious flavors, kindness throughout - From gathering the ingredients to prepping the food to sitting down and eating together after just a couple of hours of kitchen time together, it was such a fun and interesting experience. And delicious! We absolutely loved it. And our request for a vegan meal was no problem at all. Highly recommended!

Homely cooking class - We had lovely evening at Yummy Kandy cooking class. Ranees picked us up from our hotel with his Tuktuk and together we went to the market to buy all the vegetables and fruits. Then we went to his house to cook together with him and his lovely wife. We felt very welcome and homely and they both are great cooks. The food came out delicious! We were also very happy that as per our wish we could cook all vegetarian meals and even Kotthu Roti. Thank you again for a lovely evening! We would definitly recommend their class to anyone.

Yummy cooking in the hills around Kandy - You better be hungry when you're going to the cooking class with Raneesh and his family, cause you will have a lot of delicious food to eat once you are finished. Not only does he take you to the local market to buy the ingredients, he will also take you to his beautiful home up the hills in Kandy where he and his wife introduce you in the rich Sri Lankan cuisine. We cooked a lot of dishes and were handed the recipes afterwards. It was a very tasty experience and very sweet to get to know Raneesh, his wife and his daughter. Come as guests, leave as friends as his motto goes :) Thanks a lot for everything.

Amazing and tasty experience - This was one of my favorite evenings in Sri Lanka so far - amazing food, super fresh ingredients (even the spices are self-made!) and very enjoyable time with the organizers! I would for sure recommend to both groups of friends, families, solo travelers and in general everyone interested in a bit of cooking!

Best cooking class ever - This was hands down the best cooking class we’ve ever done, in any country. Ranees and his wife are the nicest people you will ever meet, and are incredible chefs. They welcomed us and our kids into their home with open arms and it was just the warmest experience. All the spices we used were made from scratch by Ranees and his wife and the food was the best meal we’ve had here. Could not recommend this more!
