Great cooking class - We had a lovely time during our cooking class. Had a tour of the garden first and then starting with the cooking (with a lovely cup of tea). Learned an amazing dish that was truly lovely! Also nice to meet Kumara, his wife and lovely children, a very kind and warm family.

Amazing cooking class with lovely family! - We really loved the cooking class with Kumara and his family! He has his own organic garden and only uses these products which is really nice. He could tell us a lot about the local herbs and spices and even knew all the dutch words for the ingredients! I have done cooking classes in Asia before but I felt this one was really not meant to earn the most money but to really give us a local experience. A lot of the hotel owners will try to get you to do a different cooking class because they earn commission which they don’t on Kumara’s class. This makes it sometimes difficult for him to get bookings and he gets a lot of cancellations last minute which is sad. So I would 100% recommend Kumara and his family.

A must visit in Sigiriya - Amazing cooking class, fantastic flavours and a lovely family. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting an authentic, heartwarming, and flavour-packed experience. Thank you for the amazing memories and meals—we’ll definitely be recreating these dishes at home! Local drivers/ hotels might try and persuade you to go to other classes but we definitely couldn’t recommend this enough!

Delicious Sri Lankan cooking class - What an amazing cooking class we’ve shared with Kumara and his family! We loved every minute of it! It was so interesting learning about all the local vegetables and spices. The food tasted amazing, not too spicy. We highly recommend joining one of his class to discover or learn more about the Sri Lankan cuisine.

Great food, great cook and family! - I wish everyone this experience! If you want to take a look at the real Sri Lankan cuisine, you should definitely take a cooking class with Kumara and his wife Thanuja.  They live in a beautiful street in Sigiriya and have a huge garden with vegetables, herbs and (legumes) fruits. The family has a lot of knowledge about ayurveda and Kumara is happy to share it with you.  After some explanation and information about the garden it is time to cook. Curry, roti, dahl and more. Even dessert. All organic, vegan and super healthy. It was fun to cook together and the food tasted delicious. Here I would like to eat every day in Sri Lanka.  The family is completely self-sufficient and also depends on the extra income of the cooking classes. Travel guides or hotels may recommend other cooking classes, as they get commission for them. I advise you not to do that and choose Kumara. You can easily reach the family on foot from Sigiriya or by tuktuk. Last bit is a dirt road.  Communication with Kumara is easy via whatsapp and very nice even after the cooking class to receive the recipes via whatsapp.

KUMARA! - Great Experience! Honestly was hesitant at the beginning but definitely one of my favourites at Sri Lanka! I would have wanted to eat more meat but regardless I ate sooo much and was so full after! It was delicious and usually I don't enjoy Sri Lanka food but these guys made it non spicy and just DELICIOUS! Kumara is the GOAT 🐐
