Cooking Sri Lankan Curries - Nuwan is an excellent teacher. She taught us how to make different types of curries. We did all the cooking under her supervion. I highly recommend this cooking class!

Awesome Luncheon Experience - Nerangi welcomed us into her home and served us some tea with home baked cake and biscuits. We went to the food preparation area and she explained all of the vegetables, condiments and spices. We chose five vegetables and went into the kitchen where we chopped them up for each dish. Nerangi showed us how to grate coconut from its shell and make coconut cream and milk. For each curry we combined the ingredients and cooked them in clay pots over gas stove tops. We also shallow fried papadams and made a coconut samba. It was nice having her mother helping us as well as her son being there as well. This gave us a real sense of family. Our lunch was delicious, full variety of flavours, colours, smells and taste. Nerangi served us a pancake for dessert that was tasty and complemented our fine lunch. Would strongly recommend as a great experience to try while visiting Sri Lanka. Graham and Kerry. Perth, Australia.

Best cooking class so far! - We liked the experience very much. It was our 3rd cooking class in Sri Lanka and still, we learned a lot and the food we made here was the best by far. Very clean and neat place too. Thank you very much!

Must do experience in Sri Lanka - Negombo cooking class was an all-round fantastic experience. There is something truly special about being invited into a family home to learn all about local food and cooking methods. The host was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and was even able to accommodate my food intolerances (gluten-free/coeliac). We chose the food we wanted to cook based on flavour preferences and believe me when I say the food was incredible. This is a must do experience for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in Sri Lankan culture and cuisine for a few hours.

Delicicious expirience. Best dish from Sri Lanka 😋 - The cooking workshop in the family home was an amazing experience. Everything was professionally prepared, explained, and the food was insanely delicious. The time spent in the kitchen was relaxing and it was a great pleasure to participate in such a learning of cooking Sri Lankan dishes. I highly recommend it. Kasia from Poland

Very interesting and delicious cooking class - We were warmly welcomed by the family. We were explained with a lot of patience both the different vegetables and spices. Cooking in the family kitchen was a very interesting experience. The different curries were very delicious. Due to our 4-year-old son, some curries were prepared without chili, so he could try some.

Exceptional! - We could not have expected a better closure to our week-long trip in Sri Lanka. The cooking class was simply amazing. We were welcomed with hot drinks and local sweets. Then we were taken to the kitchen, where we had all ingredients explained to us and then we chose which we would cook. The cooking began! All recipes were thoroughly explained step by step. We were able to make several different curries and enjoy them afterwards. We also ended up having to try the traditional pancakes at the end. What a blast that was! If you're looking for something truly authentic in Sri Lanka, this is your go -to!

Such a fun experience - we highly recommend!! - My partner and I booked this class quite last minute and Erangi made it so easy to book in! Erangi was so lovely and very informative throughout the cooking class. We made a variety of curries and were shown how to split open a coconut and make coconut milk. All the food was so yummy, we’re so excited to go home and cook it for our families!! We highly recommend booking into this class. It was a great experience and a wonderful way to learn more about Sri Lankan food. Thank you for having us 😄😄😄
