Sri Lanka's rich food culture comes to life on this countryside cooking experience. You'll start at Horana Market, where displays of tropical fruit, fresh vegetables and fragrant spices offer a look into local daily life. As you browse the stalls, you'll learn about the ingredients that give Sri Lankan cooking its distinctive flavours before heading through the countryside to visit a village farm.
Once at the farm, you'll join a tour to see where herbs, spices and fresh produce are grown. Then, it's time to step into the kitchen and get hands-on in a cooking class. Guided by local hosts, you'll learn how authentic rice and curry dishes are prepared, from blending spices to creating flavourful curries using recipes passed down through generations.
After all the cooking, you'll sit down to a feast featuring the dishes you've helped prepare. There's time to savour every bite while learning more about local traditions and village life from your hosts. You'll also get to take away traditional recipes to recreate your favourite flavours back home.
