Resplendent Ceylon - Wild Coast Tented Lodge Yala - Curated Experiences - Cook your own lunch

Cook your own lunch

A hands on experience with Sri Lankan cuisine!

The WCL version of the Sri Lankan cookery class – a more hands-on introduction to Sri Lankan food. Guests get to mix their own spices, season their ingredients and cook their own lunch, under the watchful eye and instruction of Chef Ranil. The experience is not a typical “demo” but an interactive learning on how to make some of our favourite and most popular dishes.

However, it is safe to say that guest ability behind the stove will not obstruct an exquisite Sri Lankan “rice & curry” lunch from being presented to guests.
