During the class, we will delve into the world of fermentation, and you will learn how to get started with fermenting at home. You’ll drink Kombucha and Keffir on arrival and learn to make it as well as understand and the best places to buy ready made versions, both drinks are packed with probiotics, fundamental in helping to balance the gut microbiome.

This is a Vegan/Vegetarian version of our popular class – just let us know in the notes when booking if you’d prefer to cook vegan or Vegetarian.

Sri Lankan food has parallels to South Indian food, yet it remains distinctly its own form of cuisine.  Our weekend class is a combination of demo, hands-on cookery and then time to eat the meal prepared and chat to chef – any left overs can be taken home.

The food sold on the streets as with much of South Asia is full of flavour and is often the freshest you can find.  Throughout years of colonisation and influence from other countries, Sri Lanka has adapted its food culture into a blend of different curry concoctions and tasty dishes.

In this class you will immerse yourself in Sri Lankan cuisine, creating a selection of dishes which you will enjoy eating at the end of the class.

Examples of what you might cook:

Aubergine moju (pickle)

Hoppers

Kale mallung (kale and coconut salad)

Deviled Sweet and Sour Curry

Sri Lankan Dhal Curry (Parippu)

Vegetarian Kottu
