The perfect way to spend the afternoon!
Today we were lucky enough to be welcomed at Piumi and Susantha’s lovely property and enjoyed an amazing cooking class, which well exceeded all of our expectations!
Both Piumi and Susantha were so kind and welcoming, and were very generous in giving us a thorough education of both the cooking and also Sri Lanka and different places to visit while we are here. The property was so clean and perfectly set up, the food was beautiful and fresh and the curries we made were absolutely delicious!!! I cannot wait to get home and make these dishes. Thank you for such a lovely experience that we will always remember fondly 😊🙏🏻 Kasun and Caitlin

An authentic home cooking experience
A real home, a real family, a really amazing meal. I met the entire family as we shared preparation and cooking duties for 10 (TEN) curries!
If you have taken cooking classes in professional kitchens or air conditioned restaurants, prepare yourself for a completely different experience! If i could give 10 stars out of 5 I would.
Nothing I've eaten i. Sri Lanka (so far) has been better than what I learned in class.
This is THE don't miss cooking experience.

Divine tasting - cook your own curries.
Just finished a fabulous authentic Srilankan cooking school in the home of Pimui. It was really easy to communicate via what's app for the booking and confirmation...this is a small family business guys...if you book - turn up, don't cancel, otherwise it may not be available for the next traveller to book!
It was easy to access via Uber. The house and kitchen were immaculate, the foods freshly purchased that morning. Pimui has good English and a lovely kind and gentle manner - and wow, can she cook!
The 10 curries plus rice were each sensational...the flavours you can savour with each bite. Not hot - but tasty spicy...and as I was in control of the cooking- I could make it as spicy as I wanted!
I now have a new favourite eggplant curry - and I get to keep the recipe!
Highly recommend this tour. Great value for money even as a solo...it is cheaper if more than one of you...I think 5 may be maximum.

It was a great experience to be able to participate alone!
Thank you, piumi teacher!
It can be reached in about 30 minutes from the centre of Colombo.
We were a little late because of the traffic, and we were a little lost, but they were willing to pick us up and take care of us.
I was able to communicate in my unfamiliar English,
He taught me carefully about spices and ingredients.
They let me choose which ingredients to use to make curry, and I completed 10 different kinds of curry.
It was a great experience for me, talking about spices and how to cook coconut.
I visited by myself, but I felt comfortable and I really enjoyed her kitchen.
I'm so glad I took part.

Great value for money, must do!
Piumi was such a good teacher and we felt lucky to be taught in her home on this private class! We cooked 11 dishes, most of which were vegetable curries of our choice. I highly recommend choosing the black Eggplant Curry, that's on another level of delicious. I was really impressed we cooked perfect rice and roti from scratch! Highly recommend if you love food and want to eat like the locals! I'll be trying to cook these when I get home!
