Koken met Wasantha

Still the best rice and curry in unawatuna ♥️

A wonderful experience immersing myself in Sri Lankan cuisine with Vasanta and her lesson. We were with my 11-year-old daughter. Vasanta taught us how to cook several types of curry, as well as how to make coconut milk, and showed the secrets of preparing aromatic and fluffy rice, and flatbreads. At the end, we had lunch with beautiful presentation. And as a souvenir gift, I have curry recipes. Thank you for such a wonderful and unforgettable experience! Since then, I only cook curry at home according to Vasant's recipes ❤️

Honestly the best meal i had in sri lanka! Im glad i did this on my last day because it wouldve raised my expectations of all my other meals too high! Sasangi and her brother (?) Were fantastic and great at providing all the information i needed and suggesting swaps for ingredients not available in the uk. They sent me home happy and full and armed with leftovers and all the recipes, including ones we didnt cook. I cant wait to try them at home!

It was a wonderful personal experience cooking with Wasantha’s family. The information provided at the markets was fantastic and we chose our own ingredients. I cooked with my son and can’t wait to try the recipes at home.

I am not easily impressed. But this definitely belonged to the highlights of my three-week trip to Sri Lanka. The most important thing first: The food was great - perhaps the best I had in the three weeks. And I have almost always eaten very well. Very friendly, professional, clean, and well-organized, while also being extremely entertaining and educational. First, there was a warm, hearty soup. Then we went to Galle to the market: first to buy vegetables, later fresh fish at the harbor. All questions were answered kindly. A true experience. Afterward, back to Unawatuna to the family restaurant. The course was led by Wasantha's daughter, with support from her brother - clear, entertaining, and in very understandable English.

Great cooking class run by lovely family. I really enjoyed the Galle market visit - particularly the vegetable market which was so colourful and full of new (to me) fruit and veg. We also bought tuna from the Galle fish market direct from the fishermen. I leant a lot from Wasantha when we cooked the 5 curries (4 veg and tuna). It was a small group of 6 and it was nice to eat lunch together at the end. Highly recommend.

We had a great time cooking with Sasa. Our experience started off with a visit to the fish, fruit & vegetable markets in Galle with Sam. We were able to choose the vegetables to include in the curries. We then returned to the kitchen to help prepare several curries and Sasa explained all about the cooking processes and spices. We cooked: beetroot curry, tuna steak curry, cucumber curry, pumpkin curry and eggplant moju as well as rice and poppadoms. After preparing the dishes we enjoyed eating them for lunch alongside the others in the class. It was a fabulous experience which we would definitely recommend.

We had a delicious dinner at Wasantha's charming restaurant. The food was so flavorsome and fresh - highly recommend a meal there.

A brilliant start to our trip. Sam took us to the fish market to buy our tuna, then on to the fruit and vegetable market in Galle. His knowledge and stories were great. Then back to cook 5 amazing curry dishes with his daughter. A great teacher and brilliant cook. Lots of recipes to take home and a delicious meal. I would highly recommend this experience.
