About this experience
This private, hands-on cooking class puts you at your own station with a Sri Lankan chef, ingredients ready, for a three-hour session in Colombo. You prepare a full rice and curry meal from scratch: steamed rice, a dhal curry or breadfruit curry, a chicken or fish curry, and three vegetable dishes.
Coconut milk and grated coconut feature throughout Sri Lankan cooking, so one of the first things you learn is how to break open a coconut. The chef walks you through every dish step by step, sharing stories and folklore from the island as you chop, stir and season.
Once the cooking is finished, you sit down to eat what you made, as lunch or dinner depending on your start time, and take home printed recipes for each dish. Transport to and from the venue isn't included, so arrange your own way there, and tell us about any dietary requirements beforehand. Minimum age is five.
