A great authentic cooking experience - It was a really great and authentic cooking experience with Sajee and Suzy! They were so kind and gave us many tipps and tricks for cooking delicious currys (4 vegetable currys and chicken curry). 🍲What we also loved was that we could do every step by our own.
In addition Sajee gave us the recipes for everything and more as pdf, so we definitely will try to recook it at home!
We highly recommend it, thank you for the nice evening!

Lovely experience cooking traditional food - Sajee's Cooking Class is the best!! In a lovely little backyard of their homestay you have cozy kitchen, and a wonderful experience awaits you! He teaches us a lot about the spices and makes a big effort to answer very accurately to our questions! The dishes and curries you prepare are very unique and they even show you and let you try to make a magnificent mustard seed paste! Recommend a lot! Had a lovely morning and lunch, definitely worth the money, go and delight yourselves with a lovely, local self-cooked meal and bring the recipes home to make ir yourself!

Highly recommend - We had a fantastic time learning how to cook lots of different Sri Lankan curries and dishes! Sajee and his wife were very kind and knowledgeable and we learnt more about cooking at this class than any other class we have done. I would highly recommend. Plus the food at the end was some of the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka

Great experience! - My wife and I heard about this cooking course through our tour guide. Through the cooking course we were able to learn how to really eat Sri Lankan food. What a nice experience! From start to finish, a friendly gentleman and lady will show you how the different types of curries can be prepared. This is done by following the steps step by step. Ultimately you do it yourself and there is no better way to learn. Only after this course will you know how to cook real Sri Lankan food. If you stick to how your home country describes the recipes, you will never know how the curries are prepared in a truly Sri Lankan way. After the cooking class you will also receive a number of recipes for reference. Ideal! It was more than worth the money. That's why I advise everyone to try this course. Highly recommended!

The best part of our honeymoon! - We booked this cooking class as part of our honeymoon and loved every minute of it! Being able to experience Sri Lankan cooking and hear all about the fresh ingredients and family stories of where equipment came from was a special part of our trip! Sajee and his wife Susie were extremely patient and lovely whilst we got to grips with learning new skills! The skills we learnt we now get to use at home and that is also thanks to Sajee sending over all recipes after the class! This really was the highlight of our honeymoon and we recommend to anyone visiting Sri Lanka!

Unique Culinary Experience - Sajee and his wife Susie were amazing hosts and teachers. We made 7 dishes in total, made up of veg and chicken dishes. Each step was well-detailed and they were so patient and thoughtful with each process, answering all our questions and describing all the ingredients.
Be prepared to be on your toes for 3 hours. It's a very hands-on experience but so worth it. The meals were flavorful and were a well-deserved treat at the end of the cooking class.
As an added bonus, Sajee sent me all the recipes and others. This was well worth the price.
I highly recommend this experience. It's truly a memorable one.

Our culinary highlight on our trip - We really wanted to do an individual cooking course on our trip to Sri Lanka. With the "normal" offers that we found, we were unsure whether it would make sense for us as ambitious and experienced amateur cooks. Our experience with other countries and providers was that there was often more demonstration than dialogue in the kitchen and we didn't want that.
Sajee made it possible for us to come to him and his wife's place as a couple and then we prepared everything possible together from A to Z, talking the whole time about the ingredients, the spices, the details, the differences, etc., so that at the end we were totally excited and fulfilled!
This half day was one of the absolute highlights of our Sri Lanka trip for us and after we came home yesterday, we immediately put what we had learned into practice today and cooked three curries! Amazing!
