Amazing experience! Nested in the tropical forest, the kitchen is a triumph of colors and the lesson was incredibly informative... and tasty! I thought we tried everything in Sri Lanka, but the 5 curries of our own making were simply the most tasty dishes in the whole holiday! Highly recommended

The Kandy Cooking Experience was exceptional in every way. There was superb communication right from the start and a tuktuk arrived promptly to collect us and take us to the village where we recived a very warm welcome in a beautiful setting of an authentic outdoor kitchen. All the recipes were painstakingly explained to us and we were ready participants in making our sumptuous meal. There was a lot of learning of spices and herbs and a lot of laughter with two beautiful ladies keen to teach us some of their culinary skills.It was a real hands on cooking lesson with all our questions answered and we truly enjoyed the product of our efforts.I cannot recommend this experience highly enough.Book it now!
