Fun for Foodies! - My friends and I are enthusiastic cooks and eaters, so we were looking for a class that allowed us to taste and cook as many different dishes as we could. With over 12 dishes, this did not disappoint!! The hosts went above and beyond to ensure we had a fun time and learned about Sri Lankan food. When I mentioned offhand that I was hoping to cook more than just curry and rice, they added an additional kottu making lesson. We even got to make the flatbreads from scratch! The visit to the market was interesting and being able to see it in action was a blast! It was the best meal we've had in Sri Lanka by far, and an absolute highlight of our trip!

Friendly, fun cooking class - Had a fantastic time visiting the markets (really friendly vendors!) & making a variety of local dishes. As it was a mixed group, food was made to suit a variety of diets and tolerances to chilli! Finished with the best meal we've had in Sri Lanka, far and away.

An outstanding experience - This was an outstanding experience. We made 12 (!) dishes using lots of local spices and vegetables we’d never seen before. The outcome was delicious. But what’s even more important, it was extremely hands on. The kids (ages 15, 13 and 12) got to fry popadoms, create coconut shavings, chop veggies, crush spices and be guided throughout by the kind, warm and patient cook. We came out with full bellies, ear to ear smiles and a bible of recipes. We’ll never forget this!

Fantastic day out - What a fantastic activity from start to finish. I had doing a Sri Lankan cooking on my list of things to do and it coincided with a very rainy day so the perfect way to spend a wet day in Kandy (or a dry day!!) We were picked up and taken to the market, always a great thing to see especially first hand. Then back to our hosts house which is such a lovely personal touch to use someone actual kitchen. We cooked 10 different dishes, amazing to see what goes into each dish and what a feast we knocked up. The food was amazing ❤️ What a great day out
