Cooking and eating in a foreign country may be the truest
way to its soul.

I am a chef, food tour operator and artisan food producer with over 30 years experience in the hospitality industry. I offer small group food tours to my native Sri Lanka. You can find more information on my tours here.


I also produce a range of international award winning products under my label 'Pete's Pastes', this includes fresh curry pastes, chilli sauces, pickles and chutneys.

I also conduct cooking classes with menus that range from Sri Lankan, Thai, Indian, French and Italian cuisines, more information here

I am an accredited producer with the Victorian Farmers Market Association (VFMA) and promote and sell my products through the following markets:


· Woodend     1st Saturday

· Tallarook       1st Sunday

· Kyneton        2nd Saturday

· Eltham          2nd Sunday

· Lancefield    4th Saturday

· Nagambie     4th Sunday


Every year in July, I pack my pans and travel to Sri-Lanka. Join me for a luxury 15 day culinary and cultural tour of the island.
 

Why travel with me? I am a Sri Lankan born Australian, who has a deep love and understanding of both cultures, I enjoy food and love to teach others. 

I believe the best way to truly understand the marriage of spices that ultimately become a curry is to cook and consume it in the country that it originates from. Can you think of a better way to cook curry than on a beach in Sri Lanka?
