Kumara and his family run a wonderful cooking class. We booked directly with him, he arranged transport from our hotel, gave a tour of his organic garden, and together we cooked a delicious feast in his outdoor family kitchen. We cooked dahl, coconut sambal, banana flower curry, aubergine curry, coconut roti, string hoppers, and a delicious dessert. We had a great time, learnt lots and would highly recommend this experience! We chose his class due to his great reviews, and booked directly because hotels in the area often take a big commission when arranging similar cooking classes. Enjoy!
We had a great experience. First we got a welcome tea, then when everyone had arrived we got made a little tour through their irganic garden where they explained all the health benefits from the different plants. Then we got to the cooking part, everything was well explained and in a funny way. We all got differents parts and things to do, before we had a delicious meal, including desert. At the end we got a little present as a souvenir, and had the opportunity to buy some of their spices. 10/10 would definitely recommend.
It was a lovely cooking course! Great family and yummy food.
Ayurvedic (vegetarian) cooking class with my 12 year old son who does not eat a lot of vegetables! He loved the food and didn’t even realise it was all vegetarian. Thank you Kumara and Thanuji and your beautiful family for the experience.
The whole experience was exceptional! Everyone was extraordinarily kind and the whole cooking process was explained well. If in sigiriya, book this instead of the standard tours you get recommended by drivers etc so you experience the real Sri Lankan ways
Today I had a very fun and educational cooking lesson. Much explanation has been given with examples. Kumara is very enthusiastic and can tell well. Uses humor in his stories and therefore completely involves you in his knowledge about the food and spices. This allows you to get to know traditional srilankan cuisine at its purest. An incredibly fun experience, with a sweet family who has a passion for cooking.
We learned a great deal about Sri Lankan cuisine and ayurveda! They were also very kind and received us with open arms!!
We had a great experience with Kumala and Thanuja! Delicious food and very kind people! We highly recommend!
We had a really good time cooking with Kumara and his wife. At first, we visited their garden, then started cooking Rice and different currys, as well as string hoppers, Coconut Roti and Sambol. As desert we had some hoppers filled with coconut and local honey. We shared the class with two other girls and would definitely recommend it! In the end, we got a little present, could decide for homegrown organic spices and got the recipes. Thank you!
Cannot recommend this cooking class enough. We had the best time and made so many beautiful dishes!
