Loved our cooking class with Yamuna today. The class itself was informal, relaxed and informative. We learned how to make coconut milk from scratch as well as cooking a variety of different curries, dahl, rice and coconut sambal. Each element/curry was slightly different and the finished meal was incredible. Some of the best curries we’ve eaten in Sri Lanka (and we’ve been here a month) as well as one of the best dahls. One highlight for us was being able to go to the market with her cousin, who was lovely, to buy the vegetables and fish. We were able to choose whichever vegetables we liked which was great because it meant we got to try some more unusual curries such as banana and mango. We also got to make a fibre root salad as well, an ingredient we hadn’t seen on a menu but very local so we wanted to try. Yamuna was very friendly and you could tell really enjoyed teaching about Sri Lankan cooking... she must do since she’s been doing cooking class for 10 years now! She was also very open to chat with us about culture and her town of Unawatuna which we found fascinating. The kitchen space was also really nice to work in, it was semi outdoors but very clean and well organised. All in all, very good experience and very much recommended to tourists and travellers!

Little place, clean, open windows, gives you a feeling like you are outside, we have tried ayuverdic and relax full body massage, it was great! I had a problem with neck and shoulder for a week, didn't feel any pain after treatment, and they use natural oils... Ask for Dinith and Priyanthi, the therapists.

This was epic! Was fun going to the food market to chose your veg and see the locals. Be aware the hosts buy your spices and you are brought in to buy your own from the shop! The cooking and prep take a while but it's great to see and I loved seeing how coconut is used in so many different ways The wait was worth it as the food was one of the best meals I had. Not sure if left overs were needed for friends / family but I ate the lot. The okra curry was my favourite. You need to take notes of all the ingredients on the go, keeps you on your toes. Also it's great value , 3-4 hrs and a great meal.

Met at the Green Market for an introduction to the fruit and veg of Sri Lanka - chose to cook beetroot, pineapple and aubergine. Two other veg chosen by the group then fish or chicken. Tuk tuk ride to the restaurant then a cooking demo with lots of opportunity help prep and ask questions. Food was great. Could photograph handwritten recipes. Lunch was very generous. Great value overall and lovely family including their adopted cats and dogs.
