Summary:
What a brilliant start this was to our Sri Lanka holiday.
Met by a very lovely family who welcomed us into their lovely, family home.
It’s a very interactive experience where we were able to pick and chop out our vegetables. Added the spices and cooked the curries…under close supervision so we didn’t ruin such lovely food.
The food itself was a taste sensation. Our whole family (4 teens and 2 adults) absolutely loved it.
Couldn’t recommend this class enough
