Additional Information

Our warmhearted host, Buddhima, will collect you from your lodging in Kandy and take you to her home, a 30-minute drive away. She is thrilled to introduce visitors to the vibrant blend of spice, flavor, and aesthetic that defines Sri Lankan cuisine. When at home, her family, which includes her mother and her two children, Mandil and Sandun, are all happy to welcome guests to their quaint, rustic home nestled in the green countryside of Kandy, just a stone’s throw from the Gadaladeniya temple. Don your apron and be prepared to delve into the art of Sri Lankan curry-making in their modest kitchen, following secret recipes passed down from her mother. Your private cooking tutorial will span an hour, within which you’ll uncover the steps to creating dhal (lentils simmered in coconut milk), fish or cassava curry and regional dishes like banana flower. With a newfound understanding of the core components of Sri Lankan culinary culture, revel in the flavors of the meal you’ve contributed to creating, accompanied by a cool beer and enjoyable company!

Truely local cooking at its best - We had a wonderful time together with Buddhima who met us at our hotel in Kandy and took us to her private house. We started out with tea and traditional Sri Lankan sweats/snacks. Then we started preparing curries for dinner under Buddhima’s instructions and we learned a lot about traditional spices and food in general. Finally we sat down together and enjoyed a delicious dinner

Best 6 hours - Buddhima arrived at my hotel in a tuk tuk to take me to the local markets where we bought fruit and veges for our cooking feast. She happily explained all the veges and fruit that I wasn’t familiar with and we just enjoyed walking and chatting through the hustle and bustle of downtown Kandy. After arriving at Buddhima’s house and meeting her lovely mum and sweet sons we had tea and some Sri Lankan sweet delicacies and then donned an apron to begin our cooking feast. Everything was explained along the way and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. What followed was a delicious meal of Sri Lankan curries and a wonderful experience which is highly recommended to young and old, make or female. Thank you Buddhima for such a wonderful day that I will always treasure!!
