You learn by doing

Grind, prepare, stir and taste with personal guidance instead of watching a demonstration from a distance.

You share the meal

Sit down with the dishes you prepared and enjoy the part every Sri Lankan kitchen is built around: eating together.

You are part of the kitchen.

Arrive as a guest, meet your hosts and discover the ingredients behind the dishes. Then prepare, cook, taste and ask questions as the meal comes together.
