    A lovely experience with a welcoming Indian family.

    This was a lovely experience with an Indian family. We were picked up and welcomed into the house. Medha (a dentist) taught us how to cook various dishes in their kitchen, while Dr Manish (her husband) and his father Mr Gupta chatted to us. We were able to eat everything we had cooked at the dinner table with the rest of the family. It was one of the highlights of our visit to India. Recommended.

    We had book a cooking class with an Indian family. It turned out to be Mr Harsh Vadhan’s own family in-law. Harsh Vadhan reached before we went to India and suggested that we had the cooking class the day before and then alsi celebrated Holi festival with the family. We ended up having a great volking class and the most wonderful Holi celebration. Everything was perfect. The absolutely best was that the family made us feel as guest. Not as paying participants.

    This was so much fun! The family took us in and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. They were incredibly warm and friendly, enthusiastic, and gracious. Dr. Gupta walked us through dinner prep in the kitchen, inviting us to cut vegetables and add seasoning. During dinner, I struck up a conversation with the patriarch of the house, and we became fast friends. Soon, he was showing me yoga positions and telling me about his life. This was a very special evening, and we all felt like we got a deeper sense of life in India. I would highly recommend doing this.

    Delightful

    Super fun with a great group of people!! I fell in love with grandma! Wonderful hostess who tutored me on local cuisine and had me hands-on assisting in the kitchen. Great menu, superb conversation. Superb experience.

    Medha was absolutely lovely! Me and my friend took her cooking class and was an amazing experience! We learnt how to cook pulao rice, okra, lentils, mashed potatoes, chapathis, semolina pudding with veggies fritters, paneer fritters and masala tea. Her family was very welcoming and accommodating. I highly recommend this cooking class its a great experience.

    What a great experience it was! The family was absolutely welcoming and friendly, making cooking experience so nice and unique and local that I could feel like at home. This was fantastic opportunity to learn about indian cooking and try local dishes. Flipping chapatis on the stove - unforgettable. Totally recommending this experience!

    Cooking and so much more

    Simon_R, Nov 2024
    This class was absolutely the BEST! Medha and her family were extremely welcoming. Upon arrival they gave us marigold necklaces. We first learned about the different spices used in daily cooking. We cooked veg pakoras for appetizers. Then moved on to how to prepare the veg. We had a delicious potato dish as well as fresh okra, Raita, and Parantha. Medusa mother and father in law were most gracious and friendly. I mostly enjoyed getting to know them and learn about their daily lives. The food was the best we have eaten in our entire trip. While I was learning about cooking my husband was getting some valuable yoga instruction and wisdom!

    Response from Host, Nov 2024

We were pleased to welcome you with marigold necklaces and share a slice of our culture.
