Culinary Ceylon – Experiential Cooking Classes
At Culinary Ceylon, they believe that when you visit another country, the best way to connect to its history, culture and people is through its local cuisine. Sri Lankan Cuisine is currently trending worldwide! It combines flavors from around the globe and yet, has a taste that is all its own. With influences from Malaysia, Indonesia, Southern India, North Africa, Portugal, England and the Netherlands, it’s a mixed bag of flavors and an explosion of colors, which remains a constant reminder of our colonial past. But you would be mistaken for thinking it cannot be defined as its own. It’s heavily influenced by its geography, sitting in the Indian Ocean between East and West, meaning we are big on seafood. And the tropical climes also account for our plethora of coconuts. Curries and rice are staples and are often eaten with roti style bread (called ‘Papadam’), while chilies, curry leaves, onions, cinnamon and garlic also feature heavily. And what better way to get an in-depth experience than through a cooking class? They appeal to most age groups and skill levels. While cooking classes are trending in foodie capitals around the world, they are almost non-existent in central Colombo – until now! Together with the desire for more authentic experiences and getting intimately acquainted with locals, the cooking classes at Culinary Ceylon give you a front row seat to experience our island’s amazing cuisine!
