A flavourful feast ! - Such a wonderful and memorable experience . Choosing ingredients for the curries in the local market and then helping to prepare a flavourful feast with Madhu , her mother and her neighbour .
We learnt so much about Sri Lankan curries and the preparation and ingredients that go into them . Each one of the thirteen dishes tasted delicious and it felt very special to be eating a meal in a lovely Sri Lankan home !
Thank you so much

This cooking class is excellent - We had the BEST night. Madhu and her family are fantastic. We learned a lot of recipes in her home setting (which is a gorgeous house in gorgeous grounds). And to top it off the food was incredible. The best we have had in Sri Lanka so far. I cannot recommend this class enough. Please do it. You will have a magical night.

Authentic, warm and highly recommended! - The Unawatuna Cooking Class was one of the highlights of my trip through Sri Lanka! I was warmly welcomed and was allowed to buy the ingredients at the local market together with the hostess – an experience in itself.
In the kitchen it was explained with a lot of love, humor and patience how to prepare real Sri Lankan dishes. I also loved the fact that I was allowed to make and try everything myself.
The family atmosphere was also particularly nice. You don't feel like you're in a class, you feel like you're staying with friends. The food at the end also tasted excellent.
I would do the class again anytime!

A genuine foodie must do! - Amazing! Mahdu introduced us to the absolute delight of Sri Lankan cooking.
Every aspect of our morning went flawlessly. From efficient communication, tuk tuk transport, shopping at the Dutch and Fish markets to being welcomed so generously into Mahdu‘s beautiful home kitchen and the food……..so delicious!!!!
Mahdu is an excellent teacher who patiently explained and demonstrated the recipes honed by atleast three generations of her family allowing plenty of opportunities for us to get hands on.
Absolute highlight of our time in Sri
Lanka.

Only delights - After being at the market, Madhu welcomed us to his charming home. After 2 hours of cooking we were able to taste 12 absolutely delicious dishes. A huge thank you to her, her mom and neighbor for the help. An experience that will be remembered.

Best cooking class experience! - I loved everything about this experience - the shopping for ingredients at the market, the cooking and of course eating the delicious dishes we made! Madhu is lovely and provided clear explanations and answered all my questions. She also helped me arrange a driver as my phone had a connection issue. Thanks so much for having me, looking forward to making these recipes at home!

Discover authentic cuisine - A total of about four hours of classes involves taking us to the local market to buy cooking ingredients, then back to the teacher's house to start cooking with the teacher and his family, followed by lunch.
Participate in the cooking and tasting of Sri Lankan-style authentic cuisine at the home of an authentic person. I love the way it's experienced. Like 👍
