Amazing cooking class - Amazing experience.
I highly recommend it, I’ve learned a lot about Sri Lankan cuisine and the food prepared has probably been the best I’ve tasted in my entire trip around Sri Lanka.
Thank you so much!

Delicious cooking class - We enjoyed our cooking class with Madhu.
First we went to the local market where she taught us about the Sri Lankan food and spices.
Then we went to her home and cooked 13 delicious dishes with her help.
Madhu and her family were very welcoming, patient, and helpful. We recommend this class!
Thank you!

Great food cooked in traditional kitchen. - This was a great experience with lots of information and guidance on how to cook the perfect curry. Great for vegetarians as all but one curry are veggie. Lovely to be in a traditional Sri Lankan home kitchen. The food we cooked with Madhu was amazing and I’m looking forward to making these at home from the recipes supplied. Definitely recommend. Thank you Madhu!

Fantastic Cooking Experience. - My husband and I had a private cookery lesson with Madhu. She picked us up by tuktuk and we first went shopping to the market. Madhu explained what all the unusual veg was and we chose what we wanted to cook.
We then headed to Madhu's lovely home and her family were there to greet us.
We spent a couple of hours preparing all the curries, in a traditional way with Madhu explaining everything from the cooking method, the ingredients and the temperatures.
The curries were then served up for us to eat. There were 10 different curries in total.
They were all really delicious and we felt we could now prepare these dishes at home.
Madhu later sent the recipes.
Madhu was a great teacher, we learnt so much and had great fun and a great experience doing it.
I would highly recommend this experience.

Amazing and authentic cooking class with Madhu - The cooking class with Madhu was such an amazing experience, we absolutely loved it! Right from the start we felt very welcome by her calm and friendly appearance. Starting on a local market she explained a lot about different vegetables and fruits and we should select the vegetables we wanted to use for the curries. We were the brought to Madhus home and got some tea and coffee before starting the cooking session. She was an amazing teacher and explained everything very well and with a lot of joy! About 2 hours later we were able to enjoy the best Rice and Curry (in total 13 dishes!!) we’ve had so far here in Sri Lanka.
We absolutely loved the experience and would recommend Madhus cooking class 100%!
