About Kandy Cookhouse

A taste of Sri Lanka. A memory from Kandy.

Food is one of the most personal ways to understand a place. Kandy Cookhouse brings you into a Sri Lankan kitchen so you can experience that tradition through the ingredients, techniques and people behind it.

Your cooking instructor

Traditional cooking, shared from the heart.

Your class is guided by a Sri Lankan home cook who shares practical methods used in family kitchens: combining spices, preparing coconut, creating curries and building flavour naturally.

She keeps the class relaxed and welcoming, so you can ask questions, taste ingredients and understand why each step matters.

Learn from a Sri Lankan kitchen — not from a textbook.
