Would we do it again! - A great experience! Great authentic cooking class. Our teacher Sasi was very friendly and constantly trying to bring us closer to the local cuisine. Everything was perfect from the organization to the final meal. Thank you!

A must in Kandy - This was, by far, one of the best experiences we’ve had so far in Sri Lanka. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly and I can’t think of anything that could be improved upon. We can’t wait to add these recipes to our food rotation at home.

Cooking Class - Super nice experience in an open kitchen outside. We made several dishes, in a traditional way. The food was super tasty, better than in most restaurants we've been to.

Best food activity in Kandy! - An absolute must do!! All the spices and vegetables are grown on site (for the class and wider community), lovely hosts and the portions were huge! Nila is a great cook and teaches you everything from start to finish. I’d 100% do the class again!

Great experience - Amazing experience, very well thought out and executed. We really enjoyed it- you get to chose when they pick you up at your hotel, and special request any specific dishes as well as whether you want veg, meat or fish. We requested a dhal which was great and fish too. Loads of food- in total 7 dishes- nothing goes to waste though. Great experience

Delicious and informative - A wonderful experience. We learned so much and everything we prepared was delicious! As a vegetarian I am delighted to have so much good food that was plant based. And everyone was so kind. It was a terrific experience and we highly recommend it.

Badly managed event that turn out alright . - This was meant to be a private cookery course and ended up with 8! The two Australians also booked it as that. Meant to be 950 yrds from hotel ended up with 2-3 miles up mountain roads. Pick up meant to be 4.30pm was 4.45 pm in the pouring rain. We had to keep calling them! Should have had free beer no we had to pay for it! The person who organised this was not the person who we had a problem with re communication during the day def very iffy and he said he did not know who we had booked through! Funny as he had my phone no. 🤔 Then he said we hadn’t paid but we had so he rang the so called stranger. There was def something going on re this event which was not right. Saying all of that it was a good class and fab food. Very sociable .
