5.00Had an amazing afternoon cooking local food with some lovely people. We were collected from our hotel by Vije and taken to the market to buy some ingredients where we were shown and got the chance to sample some different fruit and vegetables by Sudesh. We were then taken to the village and spent the afternoon cooking with Nandi and Nilu which was really interesting learning some traditional cooking techniques and good fun getting fully hands on. When we got to the eating part, wow, there was so much food and it was all delicious!
Excellent

5.00Fantastic experience at this cooking class. Learned so much about Sri Lankan cuisine and we got to make 5 different curries and additional sides. It started with a really interesting tour of the local markets where we got to sample different Sri Lankan fruits before heading to the house and learning to cook. After dinner, we were treated to homemade desserts. Couldn't ask for more. Amazing experience.
Amazing experience.

Superb Kandy cooking class

5.00Great morning with Sudesh and his family enjoying a wonderful cooking class experience. Starting with a trip to the market in Kandy to buy the ingredients, Sudesh was very engaging, informative and good company. He showed us all kinds of fruits which we tasted, and the ingredients for our cooking class were bought. Then a drive up into the hilltop to their house. It’s simply beautiful and the cooking class in an open sided kitchen feels like you’re in the forest. Sudesh’s Mum is the cook and teacher and she is lovely. 5 or 6 curries cooked with explanation all the time. The food was delicious too! Can highly recommend this cooking class. The location certainly adds to it. Thanks for a great morning Chris & family
Incredible meal and experience

5.00Just a fantastic half day learning to cook Sri Lankan food. Booked last minute- day of - for 12 people, all family and friends aged 6-75. Rhey set up an incredible experience for us including tuk tuk rides down to the villiage house since we had a larger van that couldn’t go on small roads. We all learned a ton even though half of us were of Sri Lankan descent and cook some of these dishes often. Super engaging for all ages as well. Great value for price. Would recommend to almost anyone with a half day of time in Kandy to spend on a cultural activity
