Highlight of our Sri Lankan holiday
A fabulous afternoon enjoying Sri Lankan hospitality and learning how to cook curries and dhal. Prabodi was so accomodating in changing the time of the class to earlier in the day as we had a tour itinerary change - thank you for this. Walking through your garden and seeing the types of plants you are growing was so interesting. Even the happy birthday sign - just a unique personal experience that I will treasure. I’m keen to try out these new cooking skills back in Australia

The cooking class we've been dreaming
Amazing cooking class with Indra and Nona. We were welcome with a fresh juice. Before the class we went shopping and we decided what type of curries we would cook, 4 different one. It was fun, we dance, talk and cook. Indra is a very good teacher, we took notes and feel confident about doing it all again at home.
We have visited their guesthouse and rooms are absolutely gorgeous. If you don't know where to stay in Mirissa, we would definitely recommend this place.

Authentic Sri Lankan experience, great fun and very tasty too!
We booked through TripAdvisor and relatively short (48hr) notice. Booking was easy and directions clear.
We agreed the TukTuk fare from Cape Weligama (2000 LKR, £5/$6.50) and swapped whatsapp with the driver for the return journey.
A cold drink was offered on arrival, and we met the other two participants (two lovely Aussie ladies) and then headed to a local food store, using their own private TukTuk!) to choose some ingredients for the vegetable curries we were to meet.
The cooking instruction was full participation and we learned a lot, not least the love of music of our tutor, who sand and danced her way through the class!
Beers were offered for an extra LKR600, although this may depend on stock as only 3 cans were available (shared between us and enjoyed).
The experience lasted c 4hrs, starting at 4pm.
Highly recommended!

Incredible cooking class
We had such an incredible experience doing the couples cooking class here. It was honestly one of the best curries we’ve had anywhere in Sri Lanka. The class was led by Indra, who was absolutely wonderful — warm, patient, and so good at explaining everything while still making the whole experience relaxed and really fun.
We ended up cooking five different curries, and it was amazing to see how each one came together with different spices and techniques. Everything tasted incredible, and sitting down to eat the full meal we had just cooked together was such a great moment.
The whole experience felt really authentic and welcoming. We also noticed the hotel rooms upstairs while we were there and they looked absolutely beautiful — like they would be an amazing place to stay.
Highly recommend this to anyone visiting. Such a special way to experience Sri Lankan food and culture.

Authentic 🤩
We had a really good time with Indra and her family. They are really lovely people and you feel so welcome there. The food was very good and we bought the vegetables we wanted to cook together with her in a close by shop. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
The recipes should be provided, only point to improve.
