    5 star tour with Piumi

    Rebecca_H, Mar 2024
    Very interesting insight into Sri Lankan life and the important role food and cooking plays in daily life. Piumi is an excellent cook and teacher. I’m vegetarian and she showed me how to prepare and cook ten different vegetarian curries and the resulting lunch was delicious. Can very highly recommend this tour.

    Absolutely authentic local cooking experience!

    Cecily_L, Jan 2022
    This is such an authentic amazing experience! Our host is a kind and friendly Sri Lanka family, we learnt cooking in their home and learnt a lot about Sri Lankan culture. The food was delicious (we made fish curry along with a wide spread of vegetarian dishes, including local ingredients such as banana blossoms, which I've tried for the first time and it's super delicious!) We learnt so much about Sri Lankan vegetables, cooking techniques, spices, and food philosophy. Our friendly host picked up us from our hotel and dropped us off too so all logistics are very convenient. we truly enjoyed the experience, it's fun, entertaining, authentic and unforgettable. Really would recommend it to anyone who loves Sri Lankan food and would like to try making some dishes - the food is really delicious, one of the best meals I've had in the 2 weeks I stayed in Sri Lanka!
