Cooking Class
Taking a cooking class in Sri Lanka is a fantastic way for travelers to immerse themselves in the country's rich culinary heritage. These classes often begin with a visit to a local market to learn about Sri Lanka’s aromatic spices, fresh vegetables, and tropical ingredients like coconut, curry leaves, and pandan. Under the guidance of local chefs or home cooks, participants learn to prepare authentic dishes such as rice and curry, hoppers, kottu roti, and pol sambol. Techniques like grinding spices, making coconut milk, and balancing flavors provide hands-on insight into Sri Lankan cuisine. Cooking classes are widely available in destinations like Galle, Kandy, and Ella, often hosted in charming settings like home kitchens or boutique hotels. It's an enriching cultural experience, and you get to savor your delicious creations afterward!
