Cookery Demonstrations with Ruwanthi and Summi at GlenMyu Estate
A relaxed Sri Lankan Cookery Demonstration
Food is central to the GlenMyu Boutique Villa experience.
Guests often highlight the meals prepared by Ruwanthi as a highlight of their stay.
Yet, beyond dining, GlenMyu Boutique Villa offers something even more memorable: relaxed cookery demonstrations hosted by Ruwanthi and her mother, Summi.
A Family Tradition
Cooking at GlenMyu Boutique Villa is more than preparing meals.
It is a family tradition passed down through generations.
Ruwanthi learned her skills while living in the UK, adapting Sri Lankan flavours to suit western tastes.
Summi brings her own deep knowledge of Sri Lankan cuisine, ensuring authenticity and warmth in every dish.
Together, they create a unique blend of tradition and modernity.
Relaxed and Interactive Sessions
The cookery demonstrations are not formal classes.
They are relaxed, interactive sessions designed to make guests feel at home.
Guests gather in the kitchen or outdoor spaces, watching as mother and daughter prepare dishes with ease.
Questions are encouraged, and laughter often fills the air.
The atmosphere is welcoming, reflecting the homely spirit of GlenMyu Boutique Villa.
Sri Lankan Flavours with a Twist
Every dish prepared during the demonstration carries a Sri Lankan influence.
Spices, fresh herbs, and local produce are central to the recipes.
Yet, Ruwanthi’s experience abroad means she understands how to balance flavours for international guests.
The result is food that feels authentic yet approachable, appealing to a wide range of palates.
The Sharing Platter Experience
After the demonstration, guests enjoy the dishes in a Sri Lankan sharing platter.
This style of dining encourages conversation and connection.
Guests taste a variety of flavours, from fragrant curries to fresh sambols.
The meal is not only delicious but also a cultural experience, offering insight into Sri Lankan traditions of hospitality.
More Than Cooking
