Private Authentic Sri Lankan Cuisine with a Grandmother

What your day looks like

Host Bio: Mohara is a Sri Lankan grandmother who is full of life, love, and energy. Mohara started a bakery several years ago that provides bread and savory products to supermarkets in Colombo. She is incredibly passionate about Sri Lankan cuisine and teaches cooking classes at her home that she has branded Cooking by Colour. In her own words, "I love cooking as it is a form of play and worship – a form of self-expression.” As a single parent, Mohara found a way to prepare quick, nutritious meals for her children that were appealing to all the senses, while making the preparation and sharing of the most simple home-cooked meal a special occasion. Her cuisine is a result of the influences of her Malay heritage as well as the rich traditions of her Sinhalese and Tamil friends and neighbors. Mohara has created a delightful repertoire of curries and sambols that have distinctive colors, flavors, and aromas that she cooked for her children and their friends. She now loves to share her rich culinary and cultural traditions with foreign travelers.
