                                     One of the beautiful things about all Sri Lankans and their food is that they can rarely agree on the details of any recipe. Most are handed down through generations and each has its own very special preparation method and flavour.


                I hope to have captured these recipes from my family’s kitchen, and I also hope to encourage other Sri Lankans living far from their ancestral homes to get back into their kitchens and share this rich and diverse culinary tradition with their families and friends.
