Amazing experience💫 - ★★★★★
We had the most beautiful afternoon with Sajee and his wife Susi.
Their cooking class is a small family business surrounded by nature, and you can feel the authenticity from the very first moment.
The class lasted from 4pm to 8pm, and it was much more than just cooking — it was a full cultural experience. We prepared a wide variety of traditional Sri Lankan dishes, discovered new spices and learned how to balance flavors in a way that is both simple and incredibly refined.
Sajee explains everything with passion and patience, while Susi adds warmth and kindness that make you feel at home. The setting in the middle of nature makes everything even more special.
And the best part? After cooking together, we all sat down and enjoyed the delicious meal we had prepared. It was abundant, flavorful, and made with love.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience real Sri Lankan cuisine and hospitality.

Do it!! - We found the rustic kitchen of Sajee's cooking school easily amongst the cabanas, monkeys and jungle.
Sajee was an excellent teacher! His fluent English, beautiful accent and calm manner made us all memorised and enthralled. He took us through the different ingredients, investigating the different smells and flavours. Together, with plenty of Sajee's and his wife's help and patience we washed, chopped, stirred, grinded and created a feast! Sour mango, rich chicken, beetroot and pumpkin curries, served with short grain rice, dahl, ochre fry and poppadoms. This was literally best experience we have had in Sri Lanka yet!

Best cooking class ive done - I had a wonderful morning learning to cook the most delicious sri lankan curries and coconut symbol with sarjee and Suzy, his wife. The attention to detail on the use of different spices was so interesting and I learned so much and had fun. Definitely the best cooking class ive done on my travels.

You get a document with lots of tips and recipes, so you can recreate it at home. Sajee takes her time and helps you to master the techniques. Recommended if you are looking for a nice cooking workshop!

Amazing experience 10/10🦚💛 - I had such an amazing experience being taught by Sajee and his wife.
Both are full of knowledge and clearly very proud and passionate about their cuisine and where they source their ingredients from.
I found the class to be really accessible and they were happy to accommodate different needs in the group.
I think it was great value for money and I would do it again In a heartbeat.
The class was a great length of time and It felt like we were able to learn a huge amount in the time without it feeling rushed or pressured to move on. I came away from it with a real desire to cook more Sri Lankan food and so full I could barely move!

A fantastic experience! - We learned so much about the different local spices, ingredients and the secrets behind a perfect curry. We were able to do so much of the cooking ourselves from start to finish. Sajee and his wife are lovely people, and Sajee speaks great English, which made the learning process very easy and educational. Highly recommended for anyone in the area who wants to dive into Sri Lankan cuisine!
