We Teach Free Cookery Classes to Support Health & Wellbeing

At Metta Trust, we believe that nourishing the body is part of nourishing the mind. Good food, prepared with care and knowledge, is a foundation for wellbeing — and everyone should have access to the tools to cook healthy, satisfying meals.

That’s why we offer free cookery classes, bringing together the wisdom of Ayurveda, authentic Sri Lankan cooking, and modern nutrition in a hands-on, joyful environment.

Participants cook, eat, and enjoy the food together, making the class as much about community and connection as about cooking skills.
01
Learn to Cook Nutritious, Delicious Food

Our classes teach practical skills that you can use every day, including:

🌱 How to prepare healthy, balanced meals

🌱 Using spices and herbs according to Ayurvedic principles

🌱 Techniques for Sri Lankan and Western dishes, from dahl and biriyani to coconut roti bread and hearty breakfast porridges

🌱 Hands-on time with an Ayurveda doctor, answering questions and explaining the health benefits of food

02
What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is an ancient system of natural health from Sri Lanka and India that focuses on balance between body, mind, and environment. It emphasizes:

  • Eating foods that support digestion, energy and wellbeing

  • Using spices, herbs and natural ingredients for preventative health

  • Understanding individual constitution, lifestyle, and seasonal needs

Ayurveda complements modern nutritional science, helping people eat mindfully, support immunity, and maintain long-term health. In our classes, we explain these concepts in simple, practical terms anyone can use at home.

03
Free, Open to All

Our cookery classes are completely free, offered as part of our commitment to wellbeing, education and community connection.

By learning to cook healthy, nourishing food, participants gain practical tools to support physical health, mental clarity, and daily energy — while enjoying delicious meals and building community.
