Join in cooking and have a lovely afternoon - We did the class (son and father) and had a lovely afternoon. Very pleasant hosts, everybody joined in cooking, and last but not least a lovely self-made dinner. Even for me as a totally non-experienced cook it was great! Highly recommended ! Thank you!

Genuine hands on Sri Lankan cooking experience - This was a delightful insight into Sri Lankan cooking and cuisine. Very authentic experience from Sajee and his wife Suzie. Delicious food, highly recommend. We booked direct with him using phone number to WhatsApp and got a cheaper price than the other platforms.

Top experience and great food! - Through our accommodation in Sigiriya (Sigiriya Herritage) we booked this cooking class with a total of 4 friends. During the preparations Sawajee told a lot about the ingredients used in Sri Lankan cuisine. Sawajee speaks good English, so that's nice. We made 8 different curries (including Chicken curry, pumpkin curry and dhal). We also made our own coconut milk. Suzy, Sawajee's wife, showed us how the food was prepared, after which we were allowed to make it ourselves. Suzy knows how to cook Sri Lankan because it was absolutely delicious. The cooking classes are given in a nice quiet place. All amenities are well arranged. A very nice experience that I would recommend to anyone if you are near Sigiriya. After the hand we received all recipes by Whatsapp with a full explanation of the ingredients and any substitute ingredients that can be used.

最高の料理教室 - 素敵な料理教室。言葉が分からなくても翻訳機で優しく丁寧に教えてくれました。料理も美味しくて早速、日本に帰って作りたいです。 It was a wonderful cooking class. Even though I didn't understand the language, they taught me kindly and carefully using a translator. The food was delicious and I want to make it when I get back to Japan.

Top class cooking experience - We were warmly welcomed by Sajee & Suzy. Everything about all ingredients were explained very well so we understood how each spice enhanced the dish and its health benefits. We cooked an amazing selection of dishes (7 in total). We would never have known anything about these dishes without this class. To top our experience, we got to eat them and they were absolutely delicious. We cannot recommend this enough - a must to do whilst in Sigiriya!

Wonderful afternoon with Sajee & Suzy - Had such a lovely time with Sajee and Suzy and fellow guests. The afternoon was packed with cooking tips and tricks - we cooked about 7 dishes - culminating in the tastiest meal ever. Sajee and Suzy were friendly and hospitable. The class is set in a structure in their yard so nice green surrounding with a feeling of being in nature. Highly recommend this activity.
