We started by sourcing ingredients and learned how to make Sri Lankan food.
(J36748U05) Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed sourcing fresh ingredients and learning to prepare authentic Sri Lankan dishes. It’s a wonderful way to connect with the local culture. We hope to welcome you again for more memorable culinary experiences!
As someone who loves spices and curries, I have always wanted to learn how to make great dishes using them. Luckily, I found this cooking class in Colombo. Susantha and his wife, Piumi, are incredibly friendly and passionate about sharing their culture. While shopping with them at a local market, I discovered ingredients I had never known before—it was such a pleasure. Their cooking studio is clean and welcoming, and Piumi patiently taught me how to use different spices and curries to create delicious home-style dishes. It was truly a wonderful experience, and I can’t wait to recreate what I learned when I return home!

I was there for the first time because I was curious to see what Sri Lankan cuisine really contains. The welcome from the cooking course instructor was very warm, and after a short introduction, we immediately immersed ourselves in the cooking process. She really answered all my questions and addressed my curiosity about the culture and food. I really enjoyed this exchange and what impressed me most was both the simplicity of the cooking and the ingredients and the preparation. We did the exchange and at the same time we were also cutting, cooking and preparing coconut milk! All the steps went very effortlessly. At the end of it all, I had the reward of my (I mean our because the course instructor also helped me) hard work - an opulent buffet. Since I did this experience alone this time, I had the whole delicious buffet to myself - and oh my! I was more than satisfied with the result and the meal - I was very happy! Simple, delicious food with simple yet a beautiful medley of flavours is what my take-away from the cooking course was, in addition to the warmth of the Sri Lankan hospitality. I would do this experience once again during my next time to Sri Lanka, preferably with a few more friends 😊 And I recommend this experience a lot!

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed this class. Getting to pick the ingredients at the market was an added bonus. Very nice family, very fun event. We would definitely recommend doing this for dinner one night in Colombo.
