Learn from our talented team how to make Sri Lankan's national dish, Sri Lankan rice & curry. Classes are fun and hands-on and provide an introduction to the spices and techniques at the core of Sri Lankan cooking. The setting for the class is as inspiring as the food. Weather permitting, the cooking class is done in our waterfront outdoor kitchen using clay pots and bamboo utensils.
