Customer Reviews
This was the highlight of our Sri Lanka trip! Learning to cook traditional curry in a local home was unforgettable. The flavors were incredible and the hosts were so welcoming. Highly recommend!
Excellent experience from start to finish. The booking via WhatsApp was simple, and the cooking class itself was both fun and educational. I can now make a proper Sri Lankan curry at home!
