Tilly from Sri Lanka will guide you through how to prepare her menu from scratch while sharing stories, secrets and inspiration about traditional Sri Lankan food and culture.
Tilly’s menu is packed full of the most vibrant and aromatic flavours of Sri Lankan cooking including coconut, curry leaves, mustard seeds and cinnamon. Rice is central to the island’s diverse cuisine and can be prepared in a myriad of different ways. Tilly will teach you her signature ‘vegetable rice’ as part of a feast of fragrant and warming dishes, a fresh and zingy carrot salad and pineapple pudding.
You’ll cook in groups with your fellow class participants before sitting down together with your chef to enjoy a delicious meal together. After the class, you’ll be emailed the recipes you learned how to prepare, so you can bring a taste of Sri Lanka to your own table.
Your class will be held at St Werburghs Community Centre in Bristol.

A message from our Chef Tilly:
“Hi I am Tilly from the South of Sri Lanka. I arrived in the UK on my own in my teens and I didn’t know how to cook. I was starving many days as I didn’t know how to cook and I missed my mother’s food. One time she rang me and asked me what I was eating in England so I told her I was very hungry and not eating properly. So my mother said “take the phone to the kitchen and follow my cooking instructions”. That’s how I learnt to cook – over the phone! I miss mainly three things about my mother country; my family, the food and the weather. Sri Lankan food is delicious and I’m very excited to have the opportunity to teach others how to cook it!”
