Amazing cooking workshop - It is a super nice cooking workshop. It is organized by a family of 3 and the cute daughter is assisting her parents. The people are really nice and really enjoy giving the lessons. You start with a short tour in their herbal garden and they explain a bit about the herbal medicine they apply here in Sri Lanka. Afterwards you get instructions how to make different curries, roti and string hoppers and they put you to work. The food was so delicious! At the end you can buy some spices and you get the recipes send to you via whatsapp.
It is such a lovely cooking workshop and I could not recommend it more when you are in Sigiriya!

A lot of fun to do! - It was really, really fun! Organized by a family where all products come from their own garden. Very sweet family who do everything together☺️
It costs a little more money than others, but then you stay out of the cooking course mafia that is present in Sri Lanka

Immersive and interactive cooking class with local family. - This cooking class was a once in a lifetime experience. We have never done a cooking class like it.
The family who lead the class, we believe to be husband and wife, were kind, knowledgeable, friendly & accommodating. We met their daughter who was 4 years old and my husband made some Idiyappam with her, it was very sweet.
The class and tour of the garden took around 2 hours for just the 2 of us.
Unfortunately, this family experience a lot of last minute cancellation due to hotels or taxis asking for a 50% commission therefore I would advise to book direct and do not cancel. This income supports 22 members of their family and promotes natural medicine and organic farming, this is their pride and joy and you can see that in their classes.
PLEASE BOOK!!!

Wonderful cooking experience in a traditional Sri Lankan kitchen environment - A real highlight of our holiday. We prepared, cooked and ate a brilliant Sri Lankan meal together. A real family enterprise. All the ingredients are organic and grown on the property. Everything prepared in a traditional way. Our hosts made us feel very welcome and relaxed. We left feeling informed, inspired and happy

Must-do got everyone visiting Sri Lanka - The cooking class was one of our highlights throughout Sri Lanka! There were many dishes, all of which tasted incredibly good. Even ingredients I don't really like tasted very delicious! And then everything from our own cultivation. It was a family and really authentic atmosphere.
Kumar even spontaneously organized a driver for us when our driver let us down.
I know there are many (even well-reviewed cooking classes in Sigiriya), but I am convinced that none is better than this one!

amazing authentic local cooking class - The cooking class was amazing and really authentic!! It was such a warmhearted environment and the family is lovely. Everything is from their own garden and vegan, we cooked multiple different curries, roti, and dessert and it was delicious. We got sent so many recipes after as well and they gave us a cooking spoon made out of coconut as a gift which was so cute. I highly recommend if you want to get an authentic experience and support a lovely local family. We had a great time :)

Super fun cooking class - Had a very nice cooking lesson with Kumara and his wife. First we got a tour of the garden with vegetables and herbs and then we started cooking ourselves. When it was finished we were allowed to eat everything ourselves.
Very friendly family and very good food. Best curry so far!
