What to do and see in Kandy, Central Province: The Best Classes & Workshops
Kandy (Sinhalese: මහනුවර Mahanuwara, pronounced [mahanuʋərə]; Tamil: கண்டி, pronounced [ˈkaɳɖi]) is a major city in Sri Lanka located in the Central Province. It was the last capital of the ancient kings' era of Sri Lanka. The city lies in the midst of hills in the Kandy plateau, which crosses an area of tropical plantations, mainly tea. Kandy is both an administrative and religious city and is also the capital of the Central Province. Kandy is the home of The Temple of the Tooth Relic (Sri Dalada Maligawa), one of the most sacred places of worship in the Buddhist world. It was declared a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1988.

Traditional Sri Lanka food is very enjoyable and world famous, but cooking it yourself adds yet another dimension to the experience. We do cooking classes in Kandy at a house located in quiet residential areas just outside the city. Each day of the week there are different menus on training, reflecting the cultural and culinary traditions of Sri Lanka,

Book this cooking class! We had one day in Kandy and wanted to experience the market, a locals home and learn to cook some amazing traditional Sri Lankan food. This was the perfect opportunity! We were picked up from our hotel by tuk tuk (an experience in itself!) and taken to the market. The chef walked us through and explained all the different vegetables and its uses to us. Asked us what we like and what we don’t so he could cater the meal to our taste. We visited a spice stall and learned about the different spices and teas and bought a few to take home for ourselves and gifts. We then went by tuk tuk through the hills of Kandy to Sudesh’s home. There we met his kids and wife and the chef started to prepare the meal. He taught us along the way and we made 7 different vegetables, egg curry, chicken curry, lentils, papadam and an amazing sauce with fried eggplant and onions and curry leaves. We then enjoyed the delicious meal with a local beer and topped the meal off with a yummy pancake filled with caramelized coconut. Sudesh and his family are lovely and welcoming. It was an amazing experience and one I highly recommend to anyone visiting Kandy!

I went to this cooking class with my friends when I was in Kandy. This experience is one of the highlights of my trip. The hosts where so friendly and welcoming and when we got there we got to wear traditional clothing which was so much fun. We cooked around ten different dishes and everything was so delicious. There was no time limit on the class so you definitely get what you pay for. If you ever visit Kandy you need to take this cooking class.
