What travelers are saying
- Rupinder K1 contributionDhanuka was a very good host and his family were very welcoming into their house.
We cooked a great variety of different dishes and instructions given were clear.
Overall a great experience and highly recommended.Written September 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Andrea S17 contributionsThis experience was top notch. I learned so much about Sri Lankan home cooking and also about the warmth and hospitality of the Sri Lankan people. The family welcomed me into their home, taught me how to cook and then we shared an amazing meal. Do not miss!Written August 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Susan WSydney, Australia7 contributionsI managed to book a cooking class at the last minute with Rustic Cooking Class. Nim was extremely helpful he managed to fit 4 of us in for the next day. We started with the market tour where we had different produce explained to us. We were also able to try some of the fruits that we had not previously tasted. Then onto cooking. We all selected a fruit or vegetable that we could make a curry with. Nim was able to work on our choices. I found this to be more interesting than a prepared menu plan. So, we had 4 curries made from beetroot, jackfruit, banana flower and eggplant. Great expedience I would strongly recommend this while you are in ColomboWritten September 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tyler B3 contributionsMy girlfriend and I really enjoyed this class. Getting to pick the ingredients at the market was an added bonus. Very nice family, very fun event. We would definitely recommend doing this for dinner one night in Colombo.Written June 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MonaLaLocaTaguig City, Philippines7 contributionsAunty Mo provided a diverse and thoughtful crash course on Sri Lankan cooking. Having visited Sri Lanka several times, this course provided terrific insight to the local cuisine. I was impressed by the diverse range of dishes from a similar baseline of ingredients, and each dish produced offered a complex, flavourful outcome. Aunty Mo is warm, passionate about local cuisine, and grateful she opened up her home and heart for this course.Written April 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MetercCelje, Slovenia20 contributionsThis cooking class with the rustic tour guide was my birthday gift from my husband as he knows that I love different cooking experiences. It was one amazing experience with fun and knowledge. We visited Colombo’s biggest vegetable market as the first part of our tour to pick our own veggies. And that is the biggest market ever I have visited. Chef, Nim was a cool character with a great sense of humour and he did a great job in giving us the best experience. We cooked 3 curries with rice which turned out to be the most delicious local food we tasted. Nim, gave us some simple tips and techniques that we can follow when making Sri Lankan food at home. I would say this is the best birthday gift I got in years.Written April 17, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Afreen11 contributionsIt was a wonderful experience of learning to cook authentic Sri lankan cuisine from a Srilankan home.The teacher and her family was amazing. The food were very healthy and mouth watering.Worth of spending time and moneyWritten May 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andrea BSingapore18 contributionsHi, I had an amazing time with Piumi at her place.
She instructed me on how to cook authentic Sri Lankan food, she let me cook and followed step by step. We made a 6-meal course over 3 hrs but honestly I think we did even more! Such an interesting cruising, a mix of flavours and spices combined. Atmosphere was very friendly and genuine. Her parents (and dog!) were very interested too, so I guess I did everything properly!!
Try and enjoy your own creations, dive into the Sri Lankan cuisine.
