On our Sri Lankan food tour experience local cuisine, so much a part of the island’s multicultural identity. Foodies get a chance to sample spicy street food, visit a lively fish market and learn the art of making traditional dishes.
Participate in all the stages of preparing a traditional Sri Lankan meal from sourcing the ingredients, to cooking a full menu of rice and curry using a wood-fired hearth. Set out to the local village market in Kandy with your host during the late morning hours. At the market, learn how to select the choicest vegetables and pick up on the local Sinhalese terms for many varieties of produce.
You can also watch how the locals descale and gut fish. Once you return from the market, head to the kitchen to help the cook prepare lunch. Try your hand at activities like scraping coconut and pounding sambol using a traditional mortar and pestle. The Cooking Demo with Suzy takes two to three hours.
