Amazing cooking class 10/10 - like cooking with your Sri Lankan auntie - An amazing cooking class and overall experience! Would thoroughly recommend to anyone. It’s based in a nice house in a village a little outside Kandy, which also helps you experience village life, how most of Sri Lankans live. The family who lives there are very friendly and welcoming. We had tea when we arrived and chatted and then started the cooking class. The cook Nandini is a really lovely lady who teaches you all about the ingredients and methods of traditional cooking that Sri Lankans use. You can choose from a big set of ingredients which ones you’d like to cook so it’s a meal that is personalised to exactly your tastes. And there’s so much food! We made a chicken curry, pumpkin curry, a long bean dish, egg curry, daal, mango chutney, papadums, tempered potatoes and sambol! We even made a special aubergine dish normally saved for special occasions because we said we loved aubergine! Really fun, learnt lots, delicious food - and you’re sent the recipes after so you can make them at home!

Fantastic cooking experience with a lovely chef - Super friendly and knowledgeable chef, and the husband wife duo who ran the place were also great hosts! Incredible food, we made like nine dishes which we could not finish!!! Pick-up and drop off from our accommodation was the cherry on top. Thanks again!

It's truly deliciously top-notch! - We had an amazing time filled with laughter, new knowledge, and delicious food! Sudesh and his family warmly welcomed us into their home, ensuring every detail was taken care of flawlessly. The nostalgic touch with the candles truly transported us back in time, creating a magical atmosphere. Nandini, the warm-hearted chef, expertly guided us through the complexities of spice blends, vegetables and the nuances of coconut milk varieties, emphasizing the significant impact on flavor from milk one to milk two. Together, we crafted a variety of dishes, including delicious curries, relishing each mouthwatering bite. The seamless hotel pickup and drop-off enhanced the overall experience. If you're ever in Kandy, don't miss the chance to join them for a class—it's truly top-notch!

Very great cooking class and a great teacher! Anytime again! - We had a great evening at the AGS cooking class. We were the only ones who had booked that evening and were able to learn a lot & the teacher was able to explain everything to us really well in English and the food tasted fantastic! First we talked about the spices and vegetables and then we cooked lots of different dishes and were able to try and prepare everything ourselves. We would do this course again anytime and can highly recommend it! It was a great experience & one we would hate to have missed.

Definitely do it! - This cooking class was a wonderful experience on our trip. If you are interested in authentic Sri Lankan food and are in Kandy, you should definitely take this class. Our expectations were far exceeded and the experienced, older lady who led us through the evening was another highlight in addition to the delicious food.

Great and fun expierence - We had tons of fun, learned a lot and ate very well. Sudesh and his family welcomed us very kindly at their home and organized everything flawlessly. Nandini, the chef, instructed us perfectly, taught us about different spices and even showed us how to make our own coconut milk. In total we cooked six different curries, which we very much enjoyed afterwards. Also the pick up from the hotel to the cooking class and the drop off afterwards worked out perfectly. If you are in Kandy definitely book a class (it takes about 3,5-4h).

Wonderful authentic cooking class - We had an amazing experience at this cooking class. It was great to learn about authentic Sri Lankan cuisine, spices and ingredients. The ladies that teach the class show you how to prepare the vegetables, spices and make coconut milk. The meal was delicious afterwards.
