5.00A fabulous day cooking in the kitchen of Dipa and Dinuka. A fun trip to the market followed by lots of cooking and then eating the delicious food we helped to cook.
Amazing Food, Warm Hospitality, and a Memorable Day in Sri Lanka

5.00I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this cooking class in Sri Lanka. Dinuka and his family were incredibly hospitable and welcoming from the moment we arrived. They made us feel completely at home and created such a warm, relaxed atmosphere that made the entire experience even more special. The class itself was fantastic. Everything was explained clearly, and it was so interesting to learn how to prepare authentic Sri Lankan dishes using traditional techniques and ingredients. As an Indian, I initially expected there to be many similarities in the cooking styles, and while there are some familiar elements, I was surprised by how many small nuances make Sri Lankan cooking unique—things like when ingredients such as onions are added, how spices are layered, and the little techniques that change the final flavour. Dinuka and his family were incredibly patient while explaining these details and answering all our questions. What really stood out was how accommodating and thoughtful they were throughout the entire experience. Beyond the cooking itself, Dinuka shared so many fascinating insights about Sri Lanka—its culture, buildings, politics, and everyday life. It felt less like a class and more like spending time with friends while learning about the country in a very genuine way. Overall, it was an amazing experience and one of the highlights of my time in Sri Lanka. I would highly recommend this class to anyone visiting and wanting a deeper understanding of Sri Lankan food and culture.
Great way to spend a day in Colombo

5.00For two food lovers, the best way to get to know a new country is to learn to cook authentic local dishes in a local home. So on our first day in Sri Lanka, we decided to take a cooking class. This incredible cooking experience turned out to be the best highlight of our first trip to Sri Lanka! From start to finish, everything was perfect. We were picked up by Dinuka and taken to the local market to explore fresh ingredients, spices, and real local life. After that, we arrived at the host’s beautiful home, where the chef and her whole family welcomed us like dear family members. Their house is lovely, and the kitchen is clean and tidy. We cooked together with them, learning authentic traditional Sri Lankan dishes using only fresh, organic, natural local ingredients. The dinner they prepared with us was abundant and incredibly delicious—full of amazing flavors we’ll never forget. The whole family was so warm, kind, and hospitable; it truly felt like staying with relatives. This experience was worth every penny and far exceeded our expectations. We completely fell in love with Sri Lanka and this beautiful, heartfelt experience. Highly, highly recommend to everyone visiting Sri Lanka!

Wow - book now while you can

5.00Wow – what an experience! If you’re looking to truly immerse yourself in Sri Lankan culture, you have to book this. Dinuka was a total gentleman from the moment we stepped into his tuk tuk. He looked after us so well and even picked us up and dropped us back to our accommodation — a 20km journey each way — which already showed how thoughtful and generous he is as a host. We started with a tour of the main market in Colombo (Pettah), where we got to see local street vendors in full action mode. It was fascinating and felt completely authentic. Next, we visited a spice shop where the owner gave us real insight into cinnamon production in Sri Lanka. There was zero pressure to buy anything, which made it feel genuine and educational rather than touristy. After that, we drove about 20 minutes to Dinuka’s beautiful family home. All the ingredients had been bought in advance, but because of the market tour earlier, we already recognised most of the herbs and spices laid out for us. What I loved most was the passion from the hosts. Everything was made from scratch using locally sourced, high-quality ingredients — even the coconut milk was freshly made for the curries. You could really feel the pride and care that went into every step. And the food… exquisite. So flavourful, so fresh, and honestly some of the best Sri Lankan food I’ve had. Value: Amazing value for money. It won’t be long before this becomes the most popular food tour in Colombo — book it while you can!
Sri Lankan cooking from scratch with love

5.00Lovely trip to the market followed by a fabulous time cooking up a Sri-Lankan feast at home with our guide, his charming family and pets. The food was amazing, ( I especially liked the aubergine dish expertly prepared by yours truly), and all prepared from scratch taking the time to do it properly. Would heartily recommend this experience. Also fabulous value for money

5.00I had a wonderful day with Dinuka. We got to experience the local market and some historic points of interest. Dinuka explained a lot about the history of Sri Lanka and Colombo which was very interesting. We were then welcomed into his family’s home and prepared several curries all afternoon. We got to enjoy these at the end along with some pancakes we made. Everything was from scratch and everything was delicious! Couldn’t recommend this enough!
We had a brilliant time....

5.00We had a brilliant time. Dinuka was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable. I was keen to buy some spices during my time in Colombo so he made sure to take us to the best place in the market for this. We also received a short talk from the spice merchant which was very informative. Dinuka customised the experience around us and we didn’t feel at all rushed. It felt like we also got a free tour of Colombo! The meal was with a local family who were welcoming and friendly; we cooked in their kitchen with Dinuka translating. There were lots of opportunities to contribute towards the preparation and cooking of this dishes under the guidance of the family. We sat at their table just the 2 of us for the meal and the food was delicious. Highly recommend!
