Must do Negambo - A great way to dip into local Negambo life - from gathering produce in the local markets, to the laborious preparation of flavoursome tuna/ devilled prawn curry. Communication was excellent throughout & Shashi’s an excellent and knowledgeable host. Highly recommended.

Sri Lankan Home Cooking - I can highly recommend this experience. I really enjoyed firstly visiting the local market where fresh fish, vegetables and fruit were purchased before heading to a Sinhalese home to learn how to prepare an excellent meal involving multiple dishes. The food and the hospitality were first rate. I learnt so much from this knowledgeable local family. The trip also included pick up and drop off by tuktuk from my hotel.

Learning to cook Sri Lankan rice and curry with Shashi and his wonderful family - Shashi is very welcoming and friendly, as well as very knowledgeable. The communication before the tour was very clear and reassuring. We were picked up promptly for a market tour (ingredients shopping and a little culture sharing along the way) and a couple of extra stops. We then went to his family home, where everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We watched the cooking and participated at different points to produce an amazing meal which accommodated or family needs. It was by far the most delicious meal I've had in Sri Lanka. The fresh ingredients and quality of the cooking made all the difference. Huge amounts of food, incredible flavours. We are soooo much! Thank you so much, I definitely recommend this experience, very good with kids too. It felt like a day with family friends 🙏🏽✨ thank you so much!

- Very nice cooking class at Shashi. Enjoyed shopping at the vegetable and fish market. Good explanation from Shashi. Then take Shashi home where his mother shows how to prepare 7 delicious curries. Participation is possible but limited by small cooktops in combination with complex recipe. Nevertheless, a lot of fun to do with this very involved family. Lunch was beyond delectable.l
