2.Cooking Class at a Local Home and Market Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 47 reviews · 3 hours · from $40

Cook Sri Lankan food in Madhu’s family home, shop a local market, learn traditional recipes, and enjoy a generous meal for $40.

“Cooking class was great. We picked out which veggies we wanted to cook at the market before heading to a very cute house and kitchen to cook. My group picked mainly vegetables I’ve never had before so it was a great learning experience. You end up cooking a ton of different dishes, where everyone contributes a little bit to each dish. I preferred this to everyone making their own dishes themselves since it means you get to try a lot more things.”
