From start to finish, this cooking class was an absolute delight! The sibling chefs brought not only incredible skill and authenticity to the kitchen, but also warmth and kindness that made the entire experience feel personal and inviting. Every dish carried the rich flavors and traditions of Indian cuisine, explained with passion and clarity. The chefs guided us step by step, making even complex recipes approachable and fun. Their patience and attentiveness ensured everyone felt included and confident. The day was filled with laughter, learning, and a genuine sense of community. Thank you for an amazing experience we will never forget. Jason & Amy

Cooking was great experience in Goa!

Rebecca_D, Mar 2026

This class was outstanding. The chef was great and very knowledgeable. The food was fabulous and she followed up with the recipes. Highly recommend!

Brilliant cooking class, definitely recommend

Wow, what can I say. This class was recommended by a friend and it didn’t disappoint. Kanchan was so informative and a natural teacher. We learnt the base of a curry that you can turn into any dish. One thing I would say is don’t eat before you go as you get to eat what you cook, which for us was 5 dishes, rice and roti. I would definitely recommend this class if you want to learn how to cook real Indian food.

fantastic cooking experience

What a fantastic experience!! Kanchan is an amazing lady and an amazing cook, we learnt do much. She kindly shared all her knowledge and top tips to make your home cooked dishes taste like restaurant quality. can't wait to get home and try out all great recipes she shared with us. Ask to make smoked Aubergine, it is out of this world good. Do not bother looking at any other cookery classes in the area, you will not be disappointed with your evening with the amazing Kanchan.

Dynamic Duo Teach Authentic South Goa cooking class

Ariel_N, Nov 2025

Fabulous sibling team who engaged us the whole time talking about Masala spices and how to add different components to make different dishes. They had us prepare multiple dishes side by side then finished off with making flat bread. The joy of cooking, teaching, and connecting really comes through. Best okra I’ve ever eaten. Leftovers were incredible.

Absolutely fantastic experience - A must do!

Cheryl_D, Oct 2025

Anyone going to South Goa should experience this fantastic cooking class! We had so much fun and our hosts were brilliant in teaching us all about Indian cuisine. We learnt so much but at the same time enjoyed it immensely. The food was scrumptious to eat at the end as well. Highly recommend!
