Here’s an overview of your tour
Embark on a culinary journey with me and my 70-year-old mom as we unravel the delightful world of Sri Lankan snacks in the serene green outskirts of Kandy. Beyond the customary rice and curry, our cuisine boasts an array of delectable short eats and snacks. These treats are a testament to the fusion of global food influences that have left their mark on our island.
Deep-fried in fragrant coconut oil, fermented, baked, roasted, or steamed – our snacks are a symphony of flavors and textures. Each bite tells a story, echoing the footsteps of those who visited, traded, or even invaded Sri Lanka, leaving behind a delicious legacy in our local snacks.
Join us at my cottage, nestled in the lush rural landscapes of Kandy, where you'll not only learn the secrets of crafting these delightful treats but also immerse yourself in the warmth of a home away from home. Let my mom, a culinary maestro with decades of experience, guide you through the intricate art of preparing our cherished snacks.
Indulge your sweet tooth and discover the unique palate of Sri Lankan snacks. From crispy bites to savory delights, this cooking class is a celebration of our culinary heritage. Come, share stories, savor flavors, and make memories in the heart of Sri Lanka's snack haven. Your taste buds are in for an unforgettable treat!
