amazing authentic local cooking class - The cooking class was amazing and really authentic!! It was such a warmhearted environment and the family is lovely. Everything is from their own garden and vegan, we cooked multiple different curries, roti, and dessert and it was delicious. We got sent so many recipes after as well and they gave us a cooking spoon made out of coconut as a gift which was so cute. I highly recommend if you want to get an authentic experience and support a lovely local family. We had a great time :)

Super fun cooking class - Had a very nice cooking lesson with Kumara and his wife. First we got a tour of the garden with vegetables and herbs and then we started cooking ourselves. When it was finished we were allowed to eat everything ourselves. Very friendly family and very good food. Best curry so far!

Best cooking class in Sigiriya - I can only recommend this cooking class to everybody staying in Sigiriya!!! They’re all very kindhearted people. They taught us about natural/herbal medicine, a bit about Ayurveda and showed us how to cook in a healthy, organic and sustainable way. The food was amazing and we cooked a huge variety! Thank you so much for this wonderful experience.

Preparing local food in local kitchen and local kindness - We went to the cooking class of Kumara and his family, with my family. We learned so much of the medicinal power of the trees and plants in their garden. Food making was nice and the eating afterwards, not a punishment! The kids liked it a lot as well.

Authentic experience in Sri Lanka - Kumara and his wife Thanuja made us spend a fantastic afternoon teaching us many recipes, both sweet and savoury Sri Lankan cuisine and how they grow their produce organically. Not only do they explain it to you, but you also participate and ultimately enjoy the result. It is a totally different experience and 100% recommended!

Fantastic organic cooking course with a welcoming family! - The cooking course with Kumara and his wife Thanuja was fantastic. We were given a tour of the garden where everything is grown organically (the only one in all of Sigiriya). Then we learned about the traditional way of cooking different recipes (Curry, stringhoppers, and more) The hospitality of the family is very warm and we had a great meal.
