Sri Lankan cuisine is one of the most aromatic and joyfully varied culinary traditions and is grounded in a diversity of local spices, coconut, fresh seafood and tropical vegetables. Our culinary experiences take you into the kitchens of village homes where women have cooked the same recipes for generations, into the fragrant lanes of Colombo’s spice markets, onto the decks of fishing boats returning with the morning’s catch, and into traditional cooking classes where you grind your own spices and prepare a full Sri Lankan rice and curry feast from scratch. Street food walking tours through Pettah and Galle’s back streets reveal a world of hoppers, kottu roti, pol sambol and sweet kithul treacle that few visitors discover on their own.
