Loved the Sajee cooking class, srilankan food rules! - Loved the class, we made great rice & curry with no previous experience and Sajee was kind enough to show us all recipes and let us cook everything! Now we have to find the right ingredients back in our home country cause I'm definitely making this at home

Sri Lankan culture on the agenda - Sri Lankan couple very kind, good explanations about Sri Lankan cuisine , we were able to tour all the local specialties! Very general also because we had been late because of a taxi problem and they waited for us.

Highly highly recommend!!!!! - We went to Sajee’s cooking class this September (2025) and had a truly wonderful experience. Sajee and his wife suzy are very friendly and welcoming. The class is really fun, hands on and informative. The food itself is incredible and there is no shortage of it! We made dhal, 3 different vegetable curries, chicken curry, okra stir fry, rice, coconut sambal and popadoms. Cannot recommend this experience enough if you’re staying in sigiriya!! We will be making these recipes for years to come.

Amazing authentic cooking workshop - We joined a cooking workshop in Sri Lanka and it was such a fantastic experience! Everything was absolutely delicious, and we got to discover many new flavors and techniques. The chef spoke very good English, which made everything clear and easy to follow. You could really feel his passion for cooking and for sharing the local cuisine with us. A truly memorable experience and highly recommended to anyone wanting to explore Sri Lankan food! We had the chance to eat all home made dishes that we made. If you want to fully learn and understand the Sri Lankan food, aroma’s, ingredients, love for food, you should definitely book this worthy experience.
