Warm welcome, great food, honest explanations - we would very much recommend this to anyone visiting the Sigiriya area.

This cooking class was truly amazing! We received a warm welcome by the family when entering their property. The workshop began with a little tour around their garden, where Thanuja showed all the vegetables and herbs. Then we started cooking our curries 🍛 and dessert. All with ingredients from their own garden. Amazing how many ingredients are used per curry. After all the preparations and finishing the cooking we had a lot of food to eat and it tasted amazing! I really recommended this workshop.

This was the most gratifying and rewarding experience. Aside from truly learning all the in’s and out’s of making an authentic meal of staples that the locals eat, the company was more than 5 stars. We were welcomed by a husband and his wife, and proceeded to their large garden where we got to see each of the different spices and herbs, how they’re grown. As well as different fruits and vegetables used daily. From there we sat in their kitchen and helped chop vegetables and ground spices, as we cooked together like one big family. Their children came in and joined us. It was just a real-life beautiful experience. The food was absolutely delicious, they offered some leftovers for us as well. But we were so full from so much food! 😅 Magical experience. Well worth the money spent and more! I would come again to visit them and pay to do it all over again for the same experience.

What an unbelievable experience this was! The most authentic cooking experience we could have had. Started off by walking us through the herbs and vegetables in their garden followed by a hands on cooking experience. Lovely family in beautiful grounds with amazing home cooked Sri Lankan dishes. Book it now!

Don’t hesitate, just book!! What an amazing experience with the most wonderful family in the most beautiful setting. I recommend this class 100% it was one of the most wholesome experiences I had in Sri Lanka! The family talk you through the recipes as you’re helping cook, explain the health benefits of the dishes as well as some lovely treats along the way of the class. What a magical experience. Thank you so much!

it was absolutely great! what treat to eat food cooked this way, and grown in this way with such love and care & no nasty pesticides! it was so interesting to learn about how they do it and the food was delicious! we got to use lots of unusual traditional cooking aids that we hadn't seen before like the one to mince coconut! we bought our 4 year old and there was loads to do and try that he got involved with too! lovely lovely family & a great afternoon out!

An exceptional hands-on cookery experience. I loved this traditional home cooking activity based in an organic jungle garden setting is one of the best cooking experiences I’ve had. We learned how to produce a wonderful plant based curry and rice meal with a range of accompaniments and string hopper desserts. The food was all prepared in a family home under the warm and welcoming extended family. In addition we had the opportunity to see some of the organic produce used being grown in the garden. I would strongly recommend this experience.

This is certainly one of the best cookery activities I’ve experienced. We had a fun hands on involvement in the production of a traditional Sri Lankan curry and rice supper. The meal was the most flavoursome meal I’ve experienced in Sri Lanka to date! Cooking a traditional totally plant based meal in a family home over wood fires, guided by the most friendly and welcoming hosts made for a memorable evening. In addition we were shown the family’s organic garden and vegetables/herbs/fruits and their contribution to a healthy diet. I would highly recommend this cookery experience to anyone who really wants to appreciate real Sri Lankan home cooking!

Easily the highlight of our time in Sigiriya! The food was so delicious, we cooked everything from scratch using ingredients that were grown in the garden outside, we had a tour around the garden too. It was such an interesting experience and the family were very friendly and welcoming. If you’re looking for an authentic cooking class, I’d recommend this local one.

Thee best and most authentic cooking class in and around Sigiriya! The tour of the garden and the cooking class were great. Everything is organic and the ingredients come from their own garden. The family is very friendly and explained the important steps in the preparation. We learned a lot about the spices and herbs used in Sri Lankan cuisine and the food tasted wonderful. Contact via WhatsApp is very easy. They also offer a pick-up service. Great recommendation!

What an amazing class. It was so well run, the explanations were clear, the space was really clean and the food was amazing. We received a cook book after. Would definitely recommend ☺️

Very generous people, nice cooking classes and tasty food. Duration time Approximately 4 hours. Nice experience, only vege food, nice adventure.

The best cooking class you can do in Sigiriya! We had so much fun learning to cook the traditional Sri Lankan dishes and the owners are very kind! They also showed us their garden and explained a lot of things about spices, the vegetables etc. We would definitely participate again! Important: if you want to book your cooking class, it’s best to book it directly via messaging the owner:)

We had an amazing time with an amazing family. Would highly recommend! All organic and grown in their backyard. Delicious. Would love to do it again.

What an amazing experience! Thanuja is the best chef of Sri Lanka! She explained everything very well and detailled. All the ingredients are from their garden and biological. The whole family helps in the garden. Everything you cook and eat is vegan and very tastfull!

We loved the cooking class with Kumara and his lovely family! The food was delicious and it was so nice to see how they grow their own plants and fruits in the garden! A big 10 and I would recommend this to everyone! Hope to see them again one day!

Wonderfull experience with a wonderfull family! Learn real Sri Lankan vegan cooking and support a local family! They have it really hard to survive in the hard touristic business (where rich people only become richer). Don’t cancell your bookings.. they need and deserve your help!

Very friendly owner who runs the place together with his family. We made a fantastic, typical Sri Lankian lunch. Recommending!!

Wonderful cooking class with lovely people. Most kind family and a great atmosphere. The food was delicious and very clean as well. 10/10 recommend!!!

Amazing cooking class. Really friendly people. Just book this class! You can do it alone or with a group. We were with nine. Everyone can do something. 👌🏼😍
