- Malee was a fantastic host. We really enjoyed this cooking class, where we learned to cook three different curries. We were cooking in the middle of Malee's house, a very nice vibe. At the end DE of the evening there was EN table full of delicious EN and side dishes and we were allowed to eat. We recommend it to everyone! We enjoyed it very much.

Great experience! - I really enjoyed this cooking workshop! We made several curries and side dishes that were each very tasty with fresh ingredients. We also learned different techniques such as making coconut milk ourselves. The workshop was also nicely situated in the green and Malee and her family are very friendly:))
I will definitely be making the recipes again at home, thank you for this experience!

Wonderful Sri Lankan cookery experience with Malee. - Our driver recommended and organised this amazing cooking experience with Malee in the outdoor kitchen at her home. It was fun and we learned how to prepare some delicious Sri Lankan dishes which you get to eat at the end. The ingredients are all wonderfully fresh and she even picks some of them from her garden. Malee is a great cook and host, and we came home with the recipes too so can try to recreate some of the dishes. Would highly recommend this if you are in Sigiriya
