We really enjoyed our authentic cookery class at Mangalikas lovely home.
An old colonial home of over 140 years with original features for cooking on and with in the kitchen
We prepared and cooked our Sri Lankan food with Mangalika's guidance and enjoyed the lunch in her dining room as many will have sat over the years in this lovely home.
Mangalika speaks excellent English and can help you getting to and from her house if necessary as a little off the beaten track.
If you want a taste of Sri Lankan food and hospitality we recommend you book this activity without hesitation!

The host is very friendly and will be kind to us.
It was very inspiring and a highlight of my trip.We'd love to stay here the next time we get the chance.

We had a cooking class and a meal in a lovely colonial-style house and garden.The road to get to this place is a little difficult, so I think it's a good idea to call the driver when you get close.
