A must do in Sigiriya - Everything you cook is harvest around the house, all natural. You start with a garden trip explaining all the plants they have. The class is inside the house, in the same kitchen they use every day. Wood stove, plenty on fruits and vegs. A truly delightful and suggested experience

All food is incredibly delicious. Everything is organic, vegan and cooked according to Ayurveda. One of the best Things to do in Sri Lanka.

Amazing! - A great experience! The owner first shows you around the herb garden and knows something about each plant. Afterwards, you will be taken step by step into making 11 different, traditional Sri Lankan dishes. The people are very welcoming and sweet. Really recommended to literally taste some of the culture!

An absolute must do experience in Sri Lanka - Such an incredible experience! Kumara, Thanuja and their family are sooooo lovely and it was an absolute pleasure exploring their garden and learning to cook their family recipes. We made four amazing curries (dahl, okra, pumpkin and eggplant curries) as well as coconut roti, string hoppers, coconut sambol, chilli sambol, papadums and a delicious dessert. It was easily the best meal I’ve had in Sri Lanka 🙌🏼💯 if you’re in (or near) Sigiriya, this experience is an absolutely must. You will not regret it!! Thank you Thanuja and Kumara for such a wonderful and authentic experience 🩷🙏 We can’t wait to get home and recreate the amazing recipes you taught us!

Culinary journey - Participating in this cooking class was an unforgettable experience! The family who hosted us were not only incredibly kind, but also passionate about their garden. They guided us through each step, sharing anecdotes and knowledge about each vegetable. It was not only a cooking lesson, but also an immersion in local culture and nature. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who not only wants to learn how to cook, but also how to appreciate and respect the ingredients they use.

Best cooking course - It was an incredible experience. I went with three girls I met in the hostel. There were six of us in total. First we were shown the garden with all the different plants and told what they help with. His English is good and you can basically understand everything. Then the cooking started and it was amazing. We cooked 11 different dishes all together and we were allowed to help. We even made everything ourselves, from the coconuts to the coconut milk. Afterwards we ate everything and it was incredibly delicious. Everyone was super satisfied and went home happy. Highly recommended, even if you go alone, you quickly make friends with the others. The way there isn't that easy - you can go by tuktuk or on foot - but the roads there aren't perfect. But there is a really beautiful lake 5 minutes away - be sure to stop by there afterwards.

The best cooking experience in Sri Lanka. - Incredible experience learning to cook local Sri Lankan dishes in the heart of a local village in Sigiriya. We were welcomed into Kumara and Thanuja’s home where we learnt about his organic garden and processes to make herbal medicines- so interesting! We learnt to cook 11 different local dishes and then ate together. I HIGHLY recommend this experience in Sigiriya. Contact +94 77 571 6119 directly to get yourself booked on.
