      Clear explanations about herbs and ingredients and how to cook them. We made a lot of different dishes. Which tasted really nice! The cooking class takes a long time (about 4 hours), but you can help a lot with the cooking. We would highly recommend!

      The cooking class with...

      Luisa_B, Jan 2026
      The cooking class with Sajee and his wife Suzy was a really special experience, we really enjoyed it so so much and learned so much. Very memorable. We got to make coconut milk ourselves and 7 different Curries and all of them were great. We really liked that all but one were vegetarian. Sajee is very friendly, provides a lot of useful information and makes it a really unique experience. When we needed help booking a car to get back to the hotel he was also very kind to help us.

      Johanna_M, Nov 2024
      We loved our cooking class here at Sajee’s place! Him and his wife are the loveliest people. They also really make sure you get to know the recipes well and how you could make this at your own home. All the dishes were amazing and so fun to make! Would recommend everybody to take this class!

      Super nice experience in a beautiful calm setting with delicious food!

      Heidi_G, Aug 2024
      We had a wonderful morning together with Sajee and his wife Suzy. We learned a lot about the Sri Lankan herbs, spices and cooking from this super friendly couple. Our teenage daughters loved to be hands on in the cooking class and preparing super tasty curries. The setting is very calm and peaceful, really a nice experience and can’t wait to try the recipes at home!

      Thank you very much for the wonderful review... we really appreciate it....

      Authentic and very delicious cooking class

      Markus_H, Jan 2026
      The cooking class was really cool, the spices were explained to us and we could taste/smell directly. There were all kinds of curries with potato, carrot, lentils, chicken, a kind of “zucchini”/beans and pumpkin. We were shown how to make fresh coconut milk and what to use and how. The rice is washed here so that it does not stick. There was plenty of food, we were more than full. I liked the lentil curry the best (I usually hate lentils). In retrospect, we got a list of spices and the recipes so we can make it at home. Thanks for the great cooking class:)

      Nathalie_S, Dec 2025
      Super nice and rewarding cooking class. We cooked 7 curries in about 2 1/2 hours. In total we were 4 people + the two operators. All the spices and every step were explained to us in detail. Everything was taken into consideration (meat eater, vegetarian, spiciness of etc.)

      Zeer fijne kookervaring met het gezin

      Hannelore_B, Dec 2024
      Sajee en zijn vrouw waren ongelofelijk. Ze leerden ons zes verschillende curry’s en bijgerechten maken. We kregen heel veel uitleg. Onze zonen van 10 en 13 verveelden zich geen minuut. Zelf kokosmelk maken, zelf rijst en linzen wassen, zelf groenten snijden en specerijen fijnmalen in de vijzel. Nadien genoten we van een overheerlijke maaltijd. Een echte aanrader!
