Discover the true taste of Sri Lanka with our hands-on cooking class in the heart of Negombo! Start your culinary journey with a guided visit to a vibrant local market, where you’ll handpick fresh produce, fragrant spices, and the day’s catch from friendly vendors. Learn how to choose authentic ingredients and gain insight into daily Sri Lankan food culture. Back in the kitchen, you’ll dive into traditional cooking techniques passed down through generations. Under expert guidance, prepare a full Sri Lankan meal—think rich coconut-based curries, spicy sambols, and perfectly cooked rice. Whether it’s fish straight from the lagoon or jackfruit curry, you’ll create each dish from scratch and enjoy the flavors you've brought to life. Perfect for foodies, travelers, and curious cooks, this class blends cultural discovery with delicious results. Leave with a full belly, new skills, and recipes to recreate the magic at home.
