Top Jaipur Cooking Classes

I had an excellent cooking class with Swati! This is how it went: A few days ahead of the class, Swati contacted me and asked what dishes I’d like to cook. I could choose the ones I’ve always wanted to learn, which was great. Swati only cooks vegetarian dishes, which works well for me. Her home is located very centrally in pink city and I took a Tuk Tuk to get to her place. It was easy to find, because she shared her Google Maps location with me via What’s App. Upon arrival, Swati’s father-in-law picked me up and guided me to Swati’s home. When I arrived at her home, I received a bottle of water as refreshment and Swati and I had a really nice chat to get to know each other. Swati then guided me to her kitchen and showed me how to cook chai tea, which tasted delicious. After finishing the tea, we started cooking three different dishes. I picked a lentil dish (Dal), a curry with cauliflower and potato (Aloo Gobi) and a vegetable Biryani. Swati also made three different types of bread. Swati showed me some really good cooking tricks, and it was a great pleasure to cook myself and also observe her doing it., taking many pictures After all dishes were made, I got to enjoy the tasty meal, along with Swati’s daughter, who came from school after we started cooking. All dishes tasted excellent! But I have to say that the Aloo Gobi was one of the best I’ve ever eaten. I was initially concerned about whether the food will be safe (e.g. regarding hygiene), but when I saw Swati cooking, I had no concern. The kitchen was very clean and she always used purified water for cooking. Since I was doing the cooking class by myself, and there was no one else attending the class, Swati made me feel very welcome and comfortable. Her English is excellent. After I finished eating, Swati organized a Tuk Tuk for me, which took me back to the hotel. A couple of hours later what he shared all the recipes via WhatsApp. I am very happy that I got to experience this class. Not only did I learn a lot about Indian cooking, but I loved this very authentic experience that other tourists might not experience. Highly recommended!

We were a family of five, we really enjoyed the overall experience and the food was the best we've eaten in India (after a second time we are here). The workshop hosts are very good and nice people, they sent us all the recipes afterwards. And most importantly, it was very clean!! Highly recommend

What a fantastic experience. We learnt about the different tea regions and how the weather affects the flavour. We sampled lots of different black, white and masala chai teas. The shop is wonderful and we went home with lots of tea and were given a lovely gift. This is a must do if you like tea
