My Passion

Story of my life

Hi I'm Sue, founder of Gourmet ceylon.

I'm an Instagrammer, Travel Photographer & Blogger and content creator from U.K.

Born and raised in Colombo, Sri-Lanka.

​Fortunately, I was born to a family who can cook really well as well as married to one...!!

I'm an Ex-hotelier, Sugar artist & Model.

I work full-time for Transportation.

I'm a full-time wife and mother to my two girls and a dog. I got my hands full with my day to day life, but it doesn't stop me from doing the things I'm passionate about!

​

Travelling & traditional cooking is what I'm most passionate about. I like to wonder and explore the world and try different cuisines. I like to tweak recipe's and experiment with flavors. 

​​​

For 20 years, I have served as a useful source to those seeking inspiration, help, or advice. I finally decided to own that role and be intentional about it.

​

My goal is to keep it short, simple and easy to follow, so anyone without any experience can do.

​​

My recipes are unique as it's based on simple Sri-Lankan classics with my own twist that works well for me and to you who live abroad. 

​​​

My mother used to say, never share a recipe with anyone except your own children. It's like a family legacy.  No offence, people still do that around the world. Then I thought, what's with the secrecy?

Everyone learns from somewhere. I learned cooking at a very young age at my mother's kitchen. then from professional kitchens, schools, books/magazines and the internet. 

Why not share your knowledge with what really works?

​​

It's about time we change and share our knowledge. I founded Gourmet ceylon with a mission to give others a taste of what goes on in my mind.
