Good experience - My friend and I loved the cooking class. We were able to choose the schedule that we could arrange. We were picked up from our hotel, we went shopping at the market, we went to cook and then we were dropped off back at the hotel. It kept us busy on a rainy day. We were very well received, they let us cut vegetables and explained the spices to put,... We ate the huge meal we all prepared, it was exquisite.

Simply Great! - We had a truly great experience cooking with Ranees and Chandrika! It all started with a visit to the market, picking out fresh ingredients, and then preparing and watching the magic unfold in the kitchen. The result? Absolutely delicious dishes, without a doubt the best food we’ve had in Sri Lanka so far. When visiting Kandy, this is an absolute must-do experience. We would recommend it to everyone! Thank you Ranees & Chandrika for all the valuable tips and we’ll definitely try to recreate a Sri Lankan dinner once we’re back in The Netherlands.

Cooking Class in Kandy - I can honestly say that this was the highlight of our time in Kandy! We were met in the crazy Kandy Market to choose our ingredients before being warmly welcomed into our host’s home. Knives and chopping boards before us we set about preparing about 7 different authentic Sri Lankan dishes all the while our host explained the spices and how to cook it. At the end we enjoyed our delicious creations and enjoyed interesting discussion. Would heartily recommend.

- We had a fantastic cooking class in a local family home in Kandy. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed, and we helped prepare nine delicious Sri Lankan dishes before enjoying them together. The hosts were friendly and shared great tips, plus we were given all the recipes—and a few extras—to take home. A wonderful, authentic experience—highly recommend!

One of the best things we did in Sri Lanka - We got to experience the most delicious Sri Lankan cooking class thanks to Ranees and his lovely family. We made the most incredible feast with a wide array of dishes. We loved that we got to experience going to the food market with Ranees to buy the ingredients also. We will be thinking about this meal for many years to come and will recommend to all friends who visit Kandy
