Our host welcomed us into her home and helped us to prepare a fantastic selection of curries, creating one of the best meals we had in Sri Lanka! After sharing a selection of vegetables (some of them new to us) and letting us pick which ones to try, we set to work, chopping, grating coconut (and making the milk) grinding spices and cooking in earthenware pots. We learned so much (despite jetlag) and would recommend it.

This was a fabulous experience, we learned so much about Sri Lankan cooking and received a great recipe book at the end. Erangi was a lovely host - I recommend this experience to anyone interested in authentic Sri Lankan cooking.

This was such an authentic and incredible tour. What a beautiful family experience as well. I learned so much about the local foods and how they are prepared. The clay pots, curries, spices, and vegetables are a wonderful show for the senses with flavors that explode on the palette. Learning how to prepare these foods with traditional practices in preparing the ingredients made for an exceptional class and experience. The endless smiles and joy were shared through the entire class. I would not miss this!

I had the opportunity to have this amazing cooking experience with Negombo Cooking Class. This is truly a beautiful authentic cooking experience in a Sri Lankan home. I can’t express in words, how good this was to be in their home and taste the love of spices and fresh ingredients. ❤️ Make it ‘a must do’ when in Negombo.

From making the booking, Nuwan was really responsive over WhatsApp. Nuwan and his wife’s hospitality was typical of the generosity and kindness we experienced throughout our time in Sri Lanka. They welcomed us into their home and made us feel comfortable immediately. The cooking course was fantastic: informative and enjoyable for a beginner like me and an accomplished cook like my wife. With clear step-by-step instructions, we made a range of delicious Sri Lankan vegetarian and meat dishes. We were introduced to local cooking techniques, and it was clear they had a passion for cooking and the recipes which had passed down through their family. It felt like an authentic Sri Lankan cooking experience.

Experience ing a hands on cooking evening with Nuwan and his wife came highly recommended - and with good reason ! Just off the plane and invited into their home to be introduced to the smells and tastes of this beautiful isle. Authentic clay pot cooking of a variety of guest chosen curries and accompaniments. New cooking techniques leaned from this gentle welcoming couple. Bohoma isthuti

I had an excellent time in this hands on cooking class!! We made so many dishes and I enjoyed everything. The ladies were so friendly and helpful. I learned some new tricks for cooking. Can’t wait to test these recipes on my family at home.

What a fantastic cooking class! It's so much more as you are welcomed Into the family home and enjoy a chat over tea before beginning the preparation of all the curries. We had so much fun making all the curries from scratch and picking out all the fresh Ingredients. The best part for me was eating all of them, they were delisious and I can't wait to make them again from the recipes they sent us. We were encouraged to try eating them the local way with our hands which added to the experience although cutlery is provided. We are so thankful for allowing us to do the lesson at such short notice but would encourage you to book ahead. What a great way to spend our last night I. Sri Lanka

We had an amazing last night in Sri Lanka spent with this lovely family. We booked very last minute and they were able to accommodate us on very short notice which we are so grateful for. From the moment we got there we felt so welcome and the cooking was truly unforgettable. I would recommend this class to everyone it was amazing to see from scratch every ingredient and method that went into all 9 of the curries we made, we also got to pick which to make which was prefect as we are mostly vegetarian. The curries were also the best we have had in the month we have been in Sri Lanka we were sad we couldn’t finish them all we were so full! We also received photos and the recipes so we can cook at home. If I could rate this 20 of out 10 I would it’s 5 star quality I hope we will visit again and come back to cook again at Negombo Cooking Class ☺️

We had half a day left on our trip and had regretted not doing this earlier as we ate so many delicious curries in our 2 week holiday. We decided to spend it on this cooking class and we were so happy we did. The ladies invited us into their home and showed us how to cook about 8 different delicious dishes. We were really happy we did this one and highly recommend it. The house is a 10 minute tuk tuk ride from the airport so it's a perfect way to finish the trip if you have time.

This cooking class was an absolute highlight and the perfect end to our trip. Erangi heartily welcomed us in her home. We prepared different curries together and then ate them. The best food we had on the whole trip! Highly recommended for everyone who wants to learn how to cook typical Sri Lankan rice & curry.

We made about 12 (!!!) different curries including an amazing fresh coconut sambal, and it was all so delicious. We did this for our last night in Sri Lanka and it was a great way to finish the trip with one last (huge) rice and curry meal. Nuwar and his wife are very welcoming hosts and take you through everything step by step. Looking forward to trying some of the dishes out at home. Can’t recommend this experience enough!

Was amazing to be shown and stepped through how traditional Sri Lankan curries are prepared and cooked. Tasted amazing and more than enough food to go around. Also good English and intuitive with a friendly family and also good sense of humour to make it a fun experience. Definitely recommend to anyone

It was my last night in Sri Lanka & was a wonderful end to my trip. I felt really welcomed by this friendly Sri Lankan family, Nuwan, Erangi & their 5 years old son. Erangi gave explanation of the ingredients & spices used, demonstrated how to prepare and cook all the times. They always ensure I got the full experience preparing and cooking all the dishes. Highly recommended if you are looking for hands on and authentic cooking experience in Sri Lanka!

I love cooking and enjoy seeing the way different cultures cook. I had one experience in Sri Lanka where I was only to watch someone else cook but NOT here! Nuwan and his wife do an amazing job of guiding you and then you doing the whole process from husking coconuts on a spike, grating your own coconut, making 1st and 2nd coconut milk... and this is all in the first 15 minutes! We cooked an amazing array of curries/dishes - pumpkin curry, fried eggplant dish, chicken curry, dried fish curry, Dahl and banana flower curry... over 10 dishes! You get a hands on experience in a beautiful family home - a true insight into Sri Lankan cooking! I would definitely recommend and I would definitely do it again if we come back to Sri Lanka!
