About this experience
Join a local chef at Pettah Market and spend three hours learning Sri Lankan cooking from the ground up. You walk the fresh produce stalls and spice vendors together, selecting the ingredients that will go straight into your meal — no guesswork, no supermarket shortcuts. A complimentary water bottle keeps you comfortable as you navigate one of Colombo's busiest trading hubs.
From the market, you move to a kitchen studio where the chef guides you through preparing a full Sri Lankan meal. Techniques, spice ratios, and plating come together before you sit down to eat what you've made — lunch or dinner depending on your chosen start time. Guests must be aged 12 or above. Hotel pickup, drop-off, and gratuities are not included, so arrange your own transport to the meeting point. Book through Lakpura to secure your slot.
