Highly recommended - I cannot recommend this activity more highly. Wasantha's cooking skills are superb and she shares generously. It was a highly personalised, warm family oriented experience.
We first went to the oldest market in Galle to learn about vegetables and fruit and then you get to choose the ingredients for the curries you will make.
We made five curries and they were all different and delicious. I even learned a lot about how to cook rice!
This is excellent value for money. I will be taking my new skills and knowledge home and practising.
Thank you Wasantha for a great experience I will always remember.

Delicious typical Sri Lankan curries - We had a great time cooking Typical Sri Lankan curries.
After choosing our favorite vegetables at the local market. Wasantha explained us how to cut the vegetables, which spices shall be used for what and finally how to cook the curries. even our children who don’t like spicy food really enjoyed the curries!
We would book the class again without hesitating, it was a great and very delicious experience!
Thank you Wasantha and your familygreat and very delicious experience!

The best cooking class from the best Sri Lankan chef! - I love doing cooking classes when I travel and this is by far the best one I've been on. I was fortunate to be the only person who signed up for that day but the family happily took me through the full course. I first went with Wasantha's husband to the market where he introduced me to some vegetables I knew and some that were new. He picked out a handful that I would learn later, each be featured in their own curry. We then went to the fish market to pick up a fresh tuna.
We returned and Wasantha was there to greet me and begin cooking. There were no measuring cups, just using our hands to estimate how much we've added to each dish. We did have a spoon to get the various spices that would be used in unique combinations for each curry. The coconut milk, liquid and meat were all extracted by hand during my experience as well.
Wasantha boasted that she knows over 100 recipes by heart. Not only that, she's learned to know when a dish is spiced properly or is ready to serve through visual cues. For JUST MYSELF, we make 5 unique curries featuring fried lotus root, the drumstick plant, a type of pumpkin, okra and the tuna. Everything tastes incredible. The meal and experience were so completely worth it and exceeded my expectations of making a few "signature" dishes from that culture (as to what I've experienced in other classes).
I highly recommend this class!

From product to plate - A Cooking Class experience at Wasantha's to get to know the local cuisine.
If you come to Sri Lanka and enjoy having experiences that will stay in the memory of your trip, you can’t miss this opportunity.
Friendly people, wonderful cooking class, where tradition crosses with local products, purchased by us in the local market (Dutch Marcado).

Wonderful and soo delicious! - We were in Sri Lanka for two weeks, did not eat anywhere as well as at Wasantha - at star level at usual prices, the best restaurant of the whole trip. Even nicer was to get a new, completely different approach to the land and people and the special features of Sri Lankan cuisine through the wonderful cooking class (also as a former chef's muffle). Even the ES of the market in Galle with the wonderful explanations was a highlight, the cooking class itself with the wonderful explanations of the individual dishes made it possible for laymen to cook wonderful dishes - let's see if the recooking at home also works so well, because Wasantha's mastery will be hard to achieve ;-)
Thank you for this entertaining and so tasty morning - we more than enjoyed both the cooking class and the evenings in the restaurant. All love to Wasantha Barbara and Guenter
