Discover the vibrant flavours of Sri Lanka in this beautiful cookbook with over 100 authentic recipes from across the island.

Husband-and-wife duo Prakash Kannan Sivanathan and Niranjala M Ellawala celebrate the rich culinary heritage of both Sinhalese and Tamil traditions, shaped by centuries of cultural exchange with India, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Europe.
Inside, you’ll find standout recipes such as:
Appa (hoppers) – iconic fermented rice pancakes, perfect with sambol.
Kiribath – creamy coconut milk rice served at celebrations.
Pol Sambol – a fiery coconut relish with lime and chilli.
Maalu Mirisata – a bold and spicy fish curry.
Kukul Mas Mirisata – a warming chicken curry with deep spice.
Lamprais – a rice parcel popularised during the Dutch occupation with meat curry, sambols, and fried egg.
Wattalappan – a luscious coconut caramel custard.
. . . and many more!
The recipes are also accompanied by stunning photography that captures the spirit of Sri Lanka.
Whether you're a seasoned cook or new to Sri Lankan cuisine, this book offers a delicious journey into one of the world’s most exciting food cultures, with options both for everyday meals and occasions.
About the Authors
Husband and wife duo, Kannan (Prakash) and Niranjala, were both born and raised in Sri Lanka. Niranjala, a Sinhalese from the island’s south, and Kannan, a Thamil from the north, together bring a rich blend of cultural perspectives.
They previously ran the award-winning Sri Lankan restaurant Elephant Walk in Hampstead, London, for eight successful years.
Driven by a shared passion for travel and an intimate knowledge of Sri Lanka’s history, heritage, and landscapes, they began curating bespoke luxury holidays – first to Sri Lanka and the nearby Maldives. Today, their offerings have expanded to include the stunning islands of Mauritius and the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean.
