Great cooking class! Yesterday we did the cooking class by Sajee. It was an amazing experience: we learned a lot about the spices, herbs, techniques and make a total of seven currys! They were delicious and we can even make them at home as Sajee sent us all the recipes in detail. We would definitely recommend this during your trip to Sri Lanka 😁

Highly recommended Highly recommended. We did this class with two families (8 people) and made 7 different curries together with Sajee and his wife. These curries were the best we had yet, and we made them ourselves! With some help of course 😅 Our kids (ages 10 to 14) could also participate and liked the course as well.

Great cooking class to give you a authentic Sri Lankan experience We had a great day at Sajee’s cooking class while we were in Sigiriya and we couldn’t recommend it enough! Both Sajee and Susie walked us through every step of the process and gave us tips along the way on the best ingredients and methods. They were patient and also gave us an insight into their little world which gave us the most authentic experience. And the best part was being able to eat the food at the end, the food was so delicious! And since then we’ve received all recipes for all the foods that we cooked so that we could try this at home.

Abbiamo chiesto al nostro driver di portarci a fare un’esperienza di cucina locale fuori dalle solite proposte turistiche, e non potevano chiedere di meglio! Sajee e sua moglie ci hanno accompagnato alla scoperta della cucina dello Sri Lanka con grande simpatia e cordialità… sembrava un po’ di essere a casa di amici. Abbiamo preparato e cucinati insieme molti piatti imparando molto sulla loro cultura. La lezione si conclude con una squisita cena dei piatti preparati. Sicuramente non per merito nostro 😅… ma i piatti cucinati con Sajee sono stati i più buoni assaggiati in Sri Lanka. Utilizzano solo ingredienti freschissimi e si sente! Ci ha anche inviato tutte le ricette dei piatti per poterli ripetere a casa. A chiunque voglia provare un’esperienza di cucina autentica in Sri Lanka non posso che consigliare Sajee e la sua famiglia! Grazie di tutto!

Go if you love cooking! We had a great experience. Sajee and Suzy were very knowledgeable, nice, helpful and patient. We used fresh ingredients from their own garden and they gave a lot of information about the herbs and spices we used. After 3 hours we cooked a complete meal and it was delicious! Also the setting of place is very nice. A kind of cooking studio in the jungle, selfbuild by Sajee and his friendd. We fully recommend this experience, so if you love Sri Lankan food, don't hesitate and go.

Incontournable ! Nous avons passé un moment hors du temps avec Sajee et Suzy. Nous avons pu cuisiner 6 currys différents de légumes, du poulet, ainsi qu’une salade le tout accompagné de riz blanc. Tout était délicieux et quel plaisir de mettre la main à la pâte ! Les enfants étaient plus que ravies. Notre fils à pu faire lui même de la moutarde avec une sorte de pilon… Bref n’hésitez pas une seule seconde ! Foncez les yeux fermés ! Magnifique souvenir de vacances. Merci encore

Incredible experience learning to cook delicious Sri Lanka food! Suzy and Sajee were excellent hosts, carefully explaining all of the ingredients and combinations and helping me to cook more delicious food than I ever thought I could 😊 next time I'll be brave enough to make it even spicier as I have all the recipes to keep on experimenting at home! The best was that we had a feast sampling all the curries after. Highly recommended and thanks again!

We had a great time cooking with Sajees and Suzy! They were very knowledgeable about all the spices used in the cooking process. We got to experience making an authentic 7 curry and rice the Sri Lankan way! Made our own mustard cream and coconut milk used in making most of the dishes. We got to eat our creations at the end and they were delicious! Couldn’t recommend this enough if you want to learn a great skill to take home! All recipes and instructions were sent to us so we can make after our holiday!
