Highlight of my Unawatuna visit - What an amazing experience! From picking out vegetables in the old Dutch Market to being in the beautiful home Madhu and her family! The entire class was so well organised and everything that went into the food was 100% home made! We made 9 different curries and it was hands down the best food we had our entire trip! Loved the kitchen and learning all about the process and how to make these delicious dishes! If you do one cooking class in Sri Lanka, this is it! Come hungry as there is no shortage of food to enjoy!

Highlight of our trip...wonderful food! - What an incredible experience. This was so much fun and the food was by far the best we had in Sri Lanka. Everything was so well organized. It's such a beautiful kitchen too. I can't recommend this enough. Thank you to Madha for being such a wonderful teacher.

Amazing experience!! - We ended our 17-day adventure in Sri Lanka with the best cooking class ever! Seriously, if you're visiting, you have to try it. Madhu and her family were so warm and welcoming, and the food we made was absolutely delicious. It was awesome learning how to cook the traditional dishes we’ve been eating throughout the trip. Such a fun and tasty way to wrap things up. 10/10 would do it again!

Best cooking class in Sri Lanka - My son and I did this cooking class and it was amazing—definitely a highlight of our trip! The hostess picked us up from our hotel, took us to the market to grab fresh ingredients, and then welcomed us into their home, which felt so wholesome. We got to cook everything hands-on while the hostess explained each dish. Then afterwards we sat down to enjoy it all for dinner. The food was incredible, so full of flavour. I’d totally recommend this experience! Elle from Australia

A wonderful taste of Sri Lanka with Madhu - I had a great experience at this cooking class. We got to choose fresh vegetables from the market before coming back to the home kitchen. There were so many dishes we helped to prepare and it was interesting to see how to make some of the dishes I have tried during my trip in Sri Lanka. The food at the end was some of the best that I have had here. I can't wait to try the recipes that were sent after class.

Best decision - Best decision we made! It was beautiful going to the market and learning about different vegetables and spices. We learned how to make different currys, dhal, papadam, maniok etc. Vegan was not a problem at all, as most of the dishes were cooked with coconut-milk anyways. The atmosphere was very friendly, the house beautiful and clean. We also learned about traditional tools to prepare the food. 10/10 reccomend

A wonderful authentic experience in Madhu’s kitchen. - We met Madhu at the local market in Galle where she showed us different vegetables and fruits and let us choose some vegetables which we’d like to make into the curries. We then headed back to her house where we were made to feel most welcome and met her mother and sister in law who would be helping us too. Madhu’s kitchen was absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed learning and making our food for lunch. She was patient and demonstrated how to do something before letting us try too. Our lunch was an absolute feast and I loved the whole experience, so much so that I have tried some to make some of the curries since coming home!!
