Sri Lanka - Slow Travel, Food & Culture with Amorelle Dempster

Amorelle Dempster is joining Creative Arts Safaris to share an extraordinary food and cultural journey through Sri Lanka.

Together, we’ll explore the vibrant flavours of the island—from street food to fine dining.
15 - 26 Aug 2026

We’ll step into local kitchens, gather recipes, and cook side by side, immersing ourselves in the heart of Sri Lankan culinary traditions.

Along the way, we’ll visit lush gardens where indigenous foods are grown and meet the people whose dedication keeps these traditions alive.

Amorelle Dempster has a deep passion for fine food—no, real fine food—and for the people who devote their lives to producing it.

Born in Colombo, Sri Lanka, Amorelle moved to Australia as a young woman and has since carved out a fascinating niche.

Today, she runs the Earth Market, a Slow Food initiative in the Hunter Valley, where her commitment to authentic, sustainable food shines through. She also serves on the steering committee of Slow Food International and organises the Food Rescue Kitchen, where no food is wasted and hungry tummies are fed.

Join us for an unforgettable exploration of Sri Lanka’s rich food culture and vibrant traditions.
