    Absolutely loved every moment of the traditional cooking class in Weligama! The hosts were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. We started by visiting the local market to pick out fresh ingredients, which was a great cultural touch. Back in the kitchen, we learned to cook multiple Sri Lankan dishes from scratch. Everything was hands-on, and the instructor explained the spices and techniques really well. I especially enjoyed making coconut sambol and dhal curry. The food we prepared was so delicious and full of flavor. I would 100% recommend this class to anyone visiting the area and wanting an authentic experience!

    The cooking class in Mirissa was one of the best cultural experiences during my Sri Lanka trip. The instructor was so friendly and passionate about traditional cooking. We got to cook a full rice and curry spread using clay pots and traditional utensils, which made it even more special. The setting was peaceful and beautiful, surrounded by palm trees. It felt like cooking in someone’s home. I now feel confident recreating these meals back home. Everything from the market tour to eating together at the end was perfect. I’m so glad I booked this. Definitely worth every rupee!

    If you're visiting Mirissa or Weligama and want to learn about Sri Lankan food, this is the class for you. We were a small group, which made it very personal and hands-on. Our instructor was patient, funny, and extremely informative about local ingredients and cooking methods. The highlight was using a coconut scraper and learning how to make curry powder from scratch. I loved how they taught us to balance spices and flavors. The food turned out amazing, and we even got the recipes to take home. A truly memorable and delicious way to spend an afternoon!

    It was such a great experience to see from first hands how to make a real Sri Lanka curry! Sandamali is such a perfect host and cooker, she taught some nice tips and she described everything so perfectly. Her level of English is great, even though she may not think! The chicken and veggie curry she prepares for us were simply delish! I highly reccomend this class of you are in Ella. It is very authentic! Thank you so much Sandamali!
