  We enjoyed the experience of going to the market, choosing ingredients and then the class. Wasantha, her daughter and boyfriend were all super friendly and we got lots of recipes afterwards. The other people in the class were also lovely and we had a bit of a laugh. We could probably have done with being more hands on and the noisy fan made it quite difficult to hear at times.

  The whole thing took about 4 hours and was from A-Z class. In the beginning we went to the local fruit and vegetable market in Galle and were able to select different ingredients for our curry. Afterwards we went to the fish market to buy more ingredients. Afterwards we cooked various curries together with Wasantha. We had someone in the group who couldn't eat onions and someone (me) who has a coconut milk allergy. This was no problem either, all wishes and intolerances were taken into consideration. The instructions of Wasnatha were very clear and the result was delicious. After the course we received the recipes for some different curries. I can only recommend this activity.

• Fantastic experience, highly recommend

  Myself, my mum and Uncle went to Wasantha’s cooking class, the venue is lovely, Wasantha and her family are wonderful people. Going to the markets to choose our produce was such a great experience, the the cooking class with Wasantha and her many years of knowledge was just beyond our expectations, to say we enjoyed it, is an understatement, we will remember that experience forever. Thank you and your beautiful family Wasantha. Sam, Annie & Chris .

  Excellent journey through the secrets of Sri Lanka’s food. First stop at fish market, then at fruit and vegetable market with explanations of all types of fish, fruit and vegetables. Then cooking our groceries with explanations of all spices and cooking tips. Each fish, vegetable and fruit needs a different blend of spices and Wasantha guides you through. We also made out own coconut milk!

  An amazing experience from start to finish. The trip by tuk tuk to the market to buy the fresh ingredients was wonderful and we were treated to a thorough explanation of every vegetable at the market stall. We got to choose the vegetables for the curries. Back to the restaurant to learn how to cook them. Wasantha is a treasure and so happy to share her knowledge. All the explanations are clear and there’s some hands on opportunities to get involved with the cooking. And then you get to sit down and eat it all! Before you leave you are given lots of recipes sent electronically, all hand written. This is my favourite thing we’ve done in Sri Lanka so far and it’s so nice that it’s a family set up. Highly highly recommend. Book it, you won’t regret it

  We started by tuktuk with a visit of the local market in Galle with Wasanthas daughter and son. In the second part Wasantha explained all the ingredients and cooking very detailed and guided us in various cooking tasks . In genereal you could really feel her love for the craft and there will be a recipe book coming soon from her. Great family and cooking class experience.

  The cooking experience was fabulous. We were taken to Galle fish market and the Dutch vegetable market to choose our produce to cook with. Everything explained to us. Then Wasantha talked us through all the spices, showed us rice cooking and making coconut milk. We were involved with preparation and everyone had a role. It was a very immersive experience. We then ate all the curries we prepared! Pumpkin, pineapple, beetroot, aubergine and tuna curry. It was well worth the money. There were 8 in our group and it felt just right. The curries were fantastic. Thank you for a wonderful 5 hours!

  Wasantha and her family were delightful. Very knowledgeable sharing lots of cooking tips. We visited the market and choose which veg/fruit we wanted to cook and then helped prepare and cook 5 very different delicious curry’s. The icing on the cake was eating the delicious food afterwards. Wasantha is very passionate about her cooking ensuring everyone in the group gets involved. If you can only choose 1 cooking class choose this one.. it’s fab you won’t be disappointed
