Last night I won the 2025 Fresh Content Award from Sydney Markets — the largest market in the Southern Hemisphere.

I don’t reflect much, but this one really hit.
It’s usually just me, my camera, and a lot of hard work behind the scenes.

Two years ago, I was demoing and sharing my Sri Lankan recipes at the markets. Now they’ve recognised the content that’s been a massive part of the journey.

Grateful. Back to work tomorrow.

This morning I cooked my coconut salmon curry live on national TV. Thanks to cookingon7 and The Morning Show for having me.

First time on live TV in Australia. Hopefully the first of many.

A few grabs from my debut cooking class in Sydney — Curries, Coconut & Cravings 🥥🔥
We cooked my Amma’s chicken curry, tempered dhal, and kale mallum — proper Sri Lankan comfort food 🇱🇰
So much fun, spice, and heart in one room. Can’t wait to do more!

Big love to event partners cookwithclove & furi.official

Here are some highlights from my very first pop-up in Sydney, the first in a series of events where I’ll be hosting culinary experiences inspired by flavours and memories from the cities I’ve lived in and loved 😍

The debut event was all about paying homage to my roots—the flavors and memories of Matara, Sri Lanka. That’s why we called it “Matara Curry Night”.

We wanted to keep the food as authentic as possible, offering a true taste of a classic South Sri Lankan meal, served family-style. And to my amazement, we sold out the tickets within a week. Cooking for a full house was an experience I’ll never forget.👌🏽

I’m so grateful for the support and energy that everyone brought to the night. The love was real, and it made the whole thing unforgettable. I can’t wait to bring this concept to Melbourne next, and hopefully to a city near you soon! We’ve just begun, 2025 is going to be epic 🙌🏽
