A meal to remember - Madhu was warm and friendly, carefully guiding us through the markets and introducing all the local ingredients. Then bringing us back to her home, she walked us through preparing thirteen dishes in a way that felt accessible instead of daunting. The flavours were exceptional and we left the experience feeling more connected with Sri Lankan cuisine. This was one of the highlights of our trip and we would recommend it to anyone who loves the local food and is curious to learn more.

An absolute Recommendation - An absolute Recommendation. Madah and her family have given us such a special experience. First we went to the vegetable market and then to Madah's home. A total of 11 curries were cooked.

Best food we had in Sri Lanka! - An wonderfully authentic experience! Some of the best food that we had in Sri Lanka. We were picked up from our hotel and taken to a local market to select our vegies before heading to the lovely families home to cook up a storm. 13 dishes in total in under 4 hours, we lost track but Madhu had everything under control. I found it especially interesting hearing about how coconut milk is made and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd coconut milks and all the different spices. A great value day out that will leave you with a full belly and new found skills :)

A true showcase of Sri Lankan hospitality - My partner and I decided to book Madhu's cooking class on one of our last days in Sri Lanka and it was truly the best experience we had on our entire trip! We started with a trip to the market and picked out the vegetables for our curries. Madhu then invited us into her home where we were taught how to make 13 curries, rice and side dishes. We can easily say this was the best food we ate on our two week trip. Cannot recommend this highly enough!

Amazing cooking class - The cooking class was an amazing experience. Madhu is really nice and a very good cook and hostess. It was really nice to cook with her and her mother and aunt. We really enjoyed cooking in their home kitchen and to work with typical Sri Lankan kitchen ware. We would recommend this cooking class for sure!

Excellent cooking class - We had a really enjoyable day at this cooking school. We started with a market visit then went back to Madhu's home where we cooked and ate a selection of authentic Sri Lankan dishes. We were made very welcomed and even got sent the recipes so we can try at home. I thoroughly recommend this class.

Fabulous and YUM cooking class where you get to cook not just watch - Oh my gosh highly recommend this fabulous cooking class. Our chef/teacher and hostess was so warm and friendly and generously opens her home and shared her food knowledge with us. Going to the market and choosing our own veggies was a bonus and such fun

Best food in Sri Lanka! - An amazing experience. We went with Mahdu to the market to choose our favourite vegetables. She explained what everything was. We then went to her family home to prepare lunch. The food we made was the best food we’ve had in Sri Lanka! Delicious! Mahdu was a great teacher and involved us in every step of the preparation and cooking. A beautiful family. We were so impressed with the kitchen, we wished we had one like that back home. We also enjoyed getting our hands stuck into the food to eat it without cutlery at the end (although you can use cutlery if you prefer). A very authentic, informative and relaxing experience. Highly recommend.

Amazing!! - An amazing expreience. Madhu and her family were so informative and kind for the duration. We cooked numerous traditional recipes, with each step explained and demonstrated before trying it ourselves. We have wanted to do a cooking class ever since we arrived in Sri Lanka and we truly picked the best one. This hands-on and enjoyable experience was exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommended. Thank you so much.
