I learned traditional cooking. - I wanted to participate alone, but I was glad that I had other participants well, and I was able to take the course on the day I wanted, and I met wonderful friends there. He was a kind and cheerful teacher and his teaching style was excellent. It was great to experience how to make coconut milk.

Amazing cooking class and delicious food! - Amazing cooking class! It was so fun to learn to cook so many Sri Lankan dishes. Erangi was very welcoming and a good teacher. She was very good about letting us do the cooking but guiding at each step. The chicken curry was our favorite dish we have had while in Sri Lanka!

The best cooking class! - This cooking class was an incredible experience! It was so much fun getting hands-on and trying things I’d never done before. The class was very interactive, and Erangi was a fantastic instructor, knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. Everything was well organized and ran seamlessly. We even got to make our own coconut milk and prepare coconut sambol from scratch. The food was amazing, some of the best we had during our entire trip. We learned about new vegetables and spices and left feeling inspired to recreate the dishes at home. I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking to experience truly authentic Sri Lankan cuisine.
