Delicious food, wonderful family, highly recommend! - Highly recommend this class! Kumara and his wife were brilliant chefs and teachers, and welcomed us warmly into their kitchen. We loved looking around their garden and learning about the different plants/veg. The food was delicious and the class was very hands on, you could get stuck into making the food, which we love! All vegan and wonderfully fresh.

truly authentic and non-touristy, DELICIOUS food, super fun, informative and interactive class and garden tour! - truly the best cooking class i could’ve chosen! if you want a real, authentic, fun and interactive cooking class experience in Sigirya, definitely do this class 🤗 super authentic, DELICIOUS food that we got to participate in making every step of the way, wonderful, informative and engaging tour of the garden - this family are truly such good humans who are sharing what real sri lankan life and cooking is about. i also really liked that this wasn’t the typical tourist spot, all the money we paid went straight to the family and not to commission for hotels/etc that referred us there. every cent went into supporting the organic farming practices, community ayurveda and beautiful cooking classes this family share with us and their community. they also sent us a whole array of recipes for sri lankan meals that we made so we can cook at home :) 10/10 experience truly, i really really recommend.

Cooking course - Super tasty organic cooked and eaten. The host and his family all live together with 22 people and all work in the company. This allows them to do everything organically.

An absolute must! - We were received by a very friendly welcoming couple. There are 4 generations living on the property. We enjoyed a fantastic course. We were 10 students with different nationalities. First we were given a tour of some of the herbs, vegetables and fruit garden. Then kneaded together and chopped and sliced. Everything was vegan and very tasty. (Yes also for the carnivores who were there!) There is no poison or any pesticide used in this small-scale agriculture. As a result, sometimes a harvest fails but this risk increases the family into the bargain. Admirable! Highly recommended! Afterwards we got all the recipes via WhatsApp.

Great traditional cooking class from a lovely family - This cooking class was a really nice experience. We were cooking in a traditional kitchen with vegetables, herbs and spices from their own garden. He also showed us the garden and gave a lot of information about everything growing in there. Lovely family and really nice food!

Must do in Sigiriya !! Mindblowing Experience 🤩 - It's our first ever cooking class and it has to be in Sri Lanka! We are so glad that we picked the best one because Kumara and his wife were excellent hosts, and we prepared simply the best vegan meals with their help. Kumara also showed us a garden tour and explained about the uniqueness of each herbs. This is a must do activity when you are in Sigiriya because it is one of a kind of experience 😀 and please book Kumara through his personal contact number at +94775716119 directly to help them to get the full payment.

Best food in Sigiriya :) - This experience was just amazing, Kumara and Thanuja are just such wonderful people. Kumara showed us and explained all the homegrown fruits; vegetables; plants; herbs that they grow. We learnt so much and really got on hands with making all the gorgeous food. We had such a great time and our tummies were extremely happy at the end of it. A definite must do when visiting this beautiful place of Sigiriya

Amazing authentic food experience - What a fantastic experience. Kumare and his family are so nice. The cooking class begins with a tour around their garden where they grow everything all organic. Kumare lead you through all the different spices and gives an insight in them that's truly amazing. The cooking itself is fun and the food is amazing! Pro tip: book with them personally via WhatsApp (number is in the Google profile in the about section) , so they don't have to pay way too much commission to sites and other companies
