Hello, I am Chandana Wijayaratne, the Chef at the Siddhalepa Ayurveda Health Resort. At the Resort I have the freedom to be creative, preparing meals that are wholesome yet sumptuous, and I look forward to bringing these recipes to you. My initial experience with cooking began at the Ceylon Hotel School where I successfully completed a basic level cookery course. When I graduated in 1990, I ventured into the hotel industry working in star class hotels both in Sri Lanka and abroad. Upon returning to Sri Lanka I joined the Siddhalepa Ayurveda Resort. I ensure that meals prepared for our clients meet the recommendations of our Ayurvedic Specialists, while retaining the traditional methods of this culinary art. I do hope you enjoy preparing the Ayurvedic recipes that are presented on this site as much as I have enjoyed creating them.
