If you’re only going to do one activity in Kandy, make sure it’s this cooking class! It was a 10/10 experience for us. We were picked up from our hotel and warmly welcomed by two incredibly kind ladies. The location is absolutely beautiful, with an amazing kitchen that, we were told, is a truly authentic Sri Lankan kitchen. Shyama and Kumari were wonderful and helped us prepare some of the most delicious Sri Lankan dishes. What we especially loved was that we got to do most of the cooking ourselves, while Shyama and Kumari guided us and helped whenever needed. The food was absolutely delicious, and the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. Overall, we would highly recommend this cooking class to anyone visiting Kandy!
Our family had a great time at the cooking class. A feast for the senses at the market was followed by everyone getting involved in the cooking. We then ate our delicious (and substantial!) traditional Sri Lankan meal. Total time approx 4 hrs from market to finishing meal so all in all it was good value. We've also been WhatsApped the recipes by Shyama to try to repeat at home. Would recommend it highly!
We had a great time at the Village Cooking Class! The food was delicious and the interactive cooking of 7 different dishes was so much fun. Everyone was very friendly, and we loved learning about the different local ingredients and seeing where the fresh fruit and vegetables grow. A really interesting and authentic experience and plenty of food to eat at the end!
A wonderful and authentic Sri Lankan cooking experience! The food was delicious, and our hosts were so welcoming and lovely. Highly recommend! 🇱🇰❤️
Today with Kandy Village Cooking Class started in the market of Kandy. There was told all about the vegetables. Very educational and with humor! After the purchase went to the location where the cooking class was given. It is a beautiful location outside Kandy, nice and away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We made a lot of different dishes and then also ate. They are super welcoming and you will want for nothing. One of the best experiences of our trip through Sri Lanka!
The host was very friendly and happy to answer any question. Very well knowledgeable and makes you feel at home. The tour started at the market which was an eye opening experience.. to learn different types of veggies and produces. It was an amazing experience and we left with a good understanding of Srilankan cuisine. This class is a must if you are traveling to Kandy !!! It is truly worth every minute we spent and we left with full tummies too 😋 😀😃
Today we had the cooking workshop. We were warmly welcomed. The cook explained already during our walk to their home about the fruits and nuts to see next to the road. We joined a workshop with a few other small groups. All fresh ingrediënts, lots of explanation on spices, and instruction. We prepared a variety of curry’s both vegetarian and with chicken. All was delicious. We would highly recommend this experience which you should not miss when visiting Sri Lanka.
An absolutely beautiful experience of Sri Lankan culture and Cuisines. The trip, marketing for the ingredients and cooking was well explained. Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Kandy.
We had a great cooking class with Shyama. The meeting point was Kandy Central Market, where we bought our ingredients and got information about other vegetables. There was also the opportunity to buy spices for home. From there, we went directly to Kandy Village, where we prepared our food. We were also shown how to prepare coconut milk ourselves. The atmosphere was great, and our son also enjoyed it immensely! Everyone was super child-friendly, and he was able to make a great contribution and was overjoyed.
We had such a great time at the cooking workshop! The experience was fun, well organized, and the food was absolutely delicious. We really enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend it!
