We feel all meals are social events, meant to be shared at leisure.  You cannot savor all the complex flavors in a Sri Lankan Jackfruit Curry if you are rushed.  For this reason, classes may run up to 5 hours, if we are having too much fun enjoying each other’s company.






Private Cooking Classes (in your home or at a local incubator kitchen) are also available.
Price commensurate with client specific menu.
