We had a wonderful cooking class with Erangi. The meat and vegetables were so fresh and she led us effortlessly to create a gorgeous lunch with beautiful subtle flavours. A great experience and would highly recommend Erangi for your cooking class. Best food in Sri Lanka.

Super authentic cooking class in the kitchen of a Sri Lankan family. The cooked dishes were very delicious. We had a lot of fun.
Such a lovely class and a fun activity. Got to make a wide range of dishes with Erngi!
We were warmly received as a family of 5 by the lady of the house with coffee / tea and some treats. Then we were well explained about what we were going to make and we were allowed to choose from all kinds of tasty vegetables and we enjoyed a great Sri Lankan lunch! We would definitely recommend this
We had such a fantastic few hours at the Negombo Cooking Class with Eranga. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcome — the whole experience was relaxed, friendly and genuinely homely. Eranga gave a brilliant demonstration and made sure everyone was involved. We prepared six different vegetable dishes, chicken and fish curries, and then enjoyed everything together for lunch, followed by a delicious dessert. It’s such a fun and authentic way to experience Sri Lankan food and hospitality. Perfect for couples, families or groups of friends. If you have 2–3 hours in Negombo, definitely add this to your list!
The workshop leader climbed! We got to know vegetables and spices and cooked curries from selected ingredients. Lots of laughs, delicious flavors and new culinary experiences. We liked it very much. We will cook delicious curries in one of our homes. We recommend a great cooking course.
Family of four - we had a great afternoon cooking and learning, with a delicious meal at the end. A really great experience with kind hosts. They were also able to accommodate my daughter’s strict dietary requirements as she has coeliac disease. Highly recommend!
Very personable and delicious food, we cooked 9 different dishes. Each one was delicious. Highly recommended
This time, I had a special class arranged by myself. This is the traditional home-cooked food I've been looking for! It was amazing. The dishes and pots we used were also traditional earthenware, and I was excited not only about how to cook but about everything. Of course, all the food I cook is very delicious and makes me happy mentally and physically. Thank you for the wonderful experience 😊
We had such an amazing experience at the Negombo cooking class! Our host was incredibly kind and welcoming, and the whole atmosphere was relaxed and fun. We got to cook a wide variety of dishes, and every single one was absolutely delicious. We learned so much and enjoyed every moment — highly recommended!
