Chef Peter Kuruvita’s culinary love affair began at a young age in the beautiful surrounds of Sri Lanka. The Kuruvita family’s wood-fired kitchen in vibrant Colombo was where Peter’s grandmother first patiently taught him the intricacies of Sri Lankan cuisine.



In this 10 part series Peter revisits his familial homeland, exploring kitchens, restaurants and eateries across the country, following childhood recollections and discovering traditional Sri Lankan recipes along the way. Propelled by personal anecdotes, local ingredients and ancient attractions, Peter travels from seaside fishing villages to lofty tea fields and beyond, highlighting Sri Lanka’s largely unrecognised depth of history and cultural fortitude, all of which have patiently waited to be explored.

Each episode is a unique expression of Sri Lankan lifestyle and cooking, with Peter Kuruvita’s charm and ancestral ties providing an exceptional level of insight and previously unseen perspective bound to leave audiences yearning for more.
