  • We had a truly memorable...

    We had a truly memorable experience with Shyama and her husband. The market visit was great to start with to gather the really fresh ingredients. The traditional kitchen next to their house is a lovely venue. After tea and intros we set about cooking the numerous curries we had chosen. We used all the traditional methods and the recipes were easy enough to follow under Shyama's helpful instruction. After a couple of hours we had prepared about 11 lovely varied dishes. We then had the best lunch and nearly finished it all! We each had our favourite dish; Sambal, special aubergine curry and chicken curry. Delicious pancakes with caramel coconut were cooked to finish us off. The whole experience was really great and the food amazing. They are lovely people too. Thank you.

    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

  • Truly authentic cooking class in beautiful setting with attention to detail.

    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!
