Join Manoshi in her traditional kitchen for your hands-on cooking class. In your 1.5hour class you will learn to make dhal (lentils), chicken or fish or vegetable curry and sambal. Manoshi will be sharing her grandmothers recipes and tips and tricks, so that you can make a home-cooked, traditional Sri Lankan meal, that locals cook and eat at home. If you have any specific dish that you’d like to cook, please let Manoshi know in advance and she will be happy to customize the menu for you. After cooking, join Manoshi and her family (when they are home) at the dinning table to share the meal you helped prepare.

Cooking Experience

Market Tour

Buddhima was very friendly, knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. She was able to answer of all my questions not only about food but also about Sri Lankan culture and religion. She encouraged me to try new fruits walking round the market and purchased them for me to do so along with some traditional Sri Lankan snacks. The market tour was brilliant and having purchased the produce for the cooking class we drove to her house. I met her family and sat with them to have tea. The whole experience of being at her house and meeting her family I thought was such a nice touch and I felt very honoured to be there. Th cooking course itself was unbelievable I learnt so much. Buddhima explained the justification behind every ingredient and step. We made a range of dishes all of which she had chosen deliberately as she knew I could get those ingredients back in the U.K. The food was amazing and was easily the best meal I had whilst I was in Sri Lanka. I can’t rate the whole day enough.
