Baduge Nishadi Fernando
For my capstone project I got the opportunity to work on something that I have always enjoyed and been proud of, my Sri Lankan heritage. Sri Lanka, the beautiful spice island once known as Ceylon, is a rich melting pot of cuisines. It seemed to me that every nationality that ever visited the island and traded over the years had left its mark.
Therefor I was determined to design an online exhibition to look back at historical events and affairs that introduced a variety of food and ingredients to Sri Lankan culture and thereby shaped the culinary journey of Sri Lanka.
