This was one of the highlights of our time in Negombo. The communication before the class was excellent, the hotel pick-up was smooth, and everything was well organized. We loved cooking traditional recipes with fresh ingredients from the local market while learning about Sri Lankan food and culture. The hospitality was genuine, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the meal we prepared was absolutely delicious. A wonderful experience that we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Sri Lanka.

We learned about local fruits, vegetables, seafood, and spices before bringing the fresh ingredients back to the family home. The cooking class was hands-on, easy to follow, and full of useful tips for preparing authentic Sri Lankan dishes. The hosts were welcoming and made us feel like part of the family. Sharing the delicious meal together at the end was the perfect finish to a memorable day.

Learning to cook Sri Lankan rice and curry with Shashi and his wonderful family. Shashi is very welcoming and friendly, as well as very knowledgeable. The communication before the tour was very clear and reassuring. We were picked up promptly for a market tour (ingredients shopping and a little culture sharing along the way) and a couple of extra stops. We then went to his family home, where everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We watched the cooking and participated at different points to produce an amazing meal which accommodated or family needs. It was by far the most delicious meal I've had in Sri Lanka. The fresh ingredients and quality of the cooking made all the difference. Huge amounts of food, incredible flavors. We are soooo much! Thank you so much, I definitely recommend this experience, very good with kids too. It felt like a day with family friends thank you so much!

I can highly recommend this experience. I really enjoyed firstly visiting the local market where fresh fish, vegetables and fruit were purchased before heading to a Sinhalese home to learn how to prepare an excellent meal involving multiple dishes. The food and the hospitality were first rate. I learnt so much from this knowledgeable local family. The trip also included pick up and drop off by tuktuk from my hotel.

A great way to dip into local Negambo life - from gathering produce in the local markets, to the laborious preparation of flavorsome tuna/devilled prawn curry. Communication was excellent throughout & Shashi's an excellent and knowledgeable host. Highly recommended.
