One of the best things we did in Sri Lanka - We got to experience the most delicious Sri Lankan cooking class thanks to Ranees and his lovely family. We made the most incredible feast with a wide array of dishes. We loved that we got to experience going to the food market with Ranees to buy the ingredients also. We will be thinking about this meal for many years to come and will recommend to all friends who visit Kandy

Best activity in Kandy - I loved the food here so of course I needed to take a cooking class and this one was recommended by a friend and definitely was a highlight of my trip. Pickup, market run and cooking everything step by step yourself in their beautiful home, Ranees and Chandrika were so kind and helpful , I felt right at home

Must-visit on the Kandy trip - no thunder - If you're in Kandy, a trip to Kandy must visit this cooking class - an experience you'll never forget! Seriously, it was definitely the best meal I've ever had in Sri Lanka, not an exaggeration. Each dish is full of authentic flavours, far more than any food I've tasted anywhere else. This course is for everyone. Whether you're a couple looking for a unique date or a family looking to spend quality time with their children, it truly meets everyone's needs. The hosts are hospitable and make everyone feel at home. Don't worry even if you're new to the kitchen! This course is perfect for beginners. The cooking process itself isn't complicated; it's carefully designed so you stay engaged, have fun and do it yourself, never feeling overwhelmed. After the course, you'll feel like a Sri Lankan master cook! From warm hospitality to incredibly delicious food, this cooking class offers an unforgettable tour of Sri Lankan culture and cuisine. Don't miss it.

It's okay to join alone! - We had a great time together as a very kind couple! It's nice to be able to participate even just one person! The curry was too large to eat, but it's OK. I'm surprised I didn't know there were so many ingredients in the recipe. I can recommend it to everyone!

A reason to visit Kandy! - The most amazing private cooking class and experience. A very relaxed environment, in the family’s outside kitchen, it feels like cooking at home. A gorgeous family and home. It was worth every bit of money and more. Even played some cricket with the family. 🏏 We did the lunch time class and made more than 10 dishes, mostly vegetarian and an amazing chicken curry. Pick up included which was very helpful from town as well as going to the central market for our produce.

Incredible welcoming experience - We had an amazing time doing this cooking class. Ranees picked us up from where we were staying in his Tuktuk and we were welcomed into his home with fresh papaya juices. Ranees and his wife talked us through all of the spices in the kitchen and the ingredients we would be using. We made lots of delicious dishes whilst chatting to Ranees and his family. The food was the best I have tasted so far in Sri Lanka, especially the jackfruit curry and fried aubergine. I would recommended this cooking class to everyone.

Best cooking experience! - We had the most incredible time with Ranees and his family. We immediately felt part of their family as we were welcomed into their gorgeous home with a fresh papaya juice before then starting the cooking class. Ranees spoke through all of the spices and vegetables we would be using before then getting us involved in preparing and cooking the delicious dishes. Some of our favourites were the jackfruit curry and the fried aubergine dish but all of them were super tasty. They couldn’t have done anything more to make us feel more welcome and a part of their family. We couldn’t recommend this experience enough, it was the most fun activity we have done so far in Sri Lanka! 10/10 highly recommend!
