About this experience
Sri Lankan cuisine, with its diverse flavours and seasonal produce, is part of falling in love with the island — and this Colombo market tour and cooking class is a treat for anyone who loves gastronomy at its best. It begins in the busy Pettah market, a vibrant bazaar dating to the Dutch colonial era, where cobblestone alleys brim with stalls of fresh produce, spices and colourful fruit and vegetables.
Guided by a seasoned chef, you'll browse the fresh produce and spice stalls before heading back to the studio for a hands-on workshop. At your own cooking station, you'll learn to prepare a traditional Sri Lankan home-cooked meal — steamed rice, dhal or breadfruit curry, chicken or fish curry and three vegetable dishes — then sit down to enjoy it as lunch or dinner.
