Highly recommended for an intimate and hands-on class with an expert

Michael_W, Mar 2026

Wonderful experience learning about Indian cooking. You are invited as a guest in Monisha’s home - she has spent a career in teaching about food (through cookbooks and various classes) and her passion shows. Felt in the end as though the concepts behind using spices (how they are cooked, not the number of them, matters - and no “curry powder”!) and heating ingredients to cook evenly were demystified. The location is close to LHR airport - easily accessible on the Tube but do take the commute into account when booking.

Amazing cultural experience!

Eric_B, Mar 2026

We took the tube 30 mins west of the city and Monisha met us at the train. Everything was very well organized and communicated ahead of time leaving no risk of confusion. Once we arrived it was a combination of a cooking class, history lesson and a unique lens into tradition which separated this from other experiences that we have tried. Monisha has a wealth of experience but more importantly, the way she shares not just the what, but the why was great. We highly recommend the class as you will learn a lot and have a great time!

Spice Up Your Skills: An Unforgettable Curry Class Experience!

Laura_R, Feb 2026

We had an incredible curry cooking class with master chef Monesha! The experience was warm, engaging, and highly educational. Monesha shared invaluable tips and techniques, making the process fun and easy to follow. We left with new skills, confidence, and enjoyed a delicious homemade curry that exceeded my expectations. Truly a memorable, enriching experience that I highly recommend to anyone wanting to improve their cooking!

Amazing cooking class followed by a delicious feast!

Jennifer_N, Jul 2025

For anyone who enjoys cooking or eating Indian food, this class is a must. From the moment you book, Monisha (your chef and instructor) is communicative and helpful. The class itself involves a visit to the grocer to discuss the best ingredients to set you up for success and then a short walk to Monisha’s home and kitchen to prepare a feast from scratch. She’s kind, funny and a wonderful instructor for any skill level. At the end of the course, you sit down and eat some of the finest Indian food you’ll ever try (and that you had a hand in making). I will definitely be taking additional courses from Monisha in the future. Highly recommend for a fun and educational outing in London. You also won’t leave hungry!

Outstanding Experience

Jeffrey_C, May 2025

If we could give more than just five stars we would! Everything about this class was outstanding, starting with an easy meeting point just outside the Underground station, where we were met and welcomed met personally by Monisha. We enjoyed the trip to the nearby grocery store to learn tips for choosing the best ingredients, which will help us to duplicate the great dishes we prepared in class. Monisha made us feel comfortable and welcome in her kitchen and then she walked us through not only the recipes, but also the science behind building flavors in Indian food that are delicious. The recipes were easy to follow and Monisha's instruction was patient, thorough, and encouraging. She answered our questions and provided information we will use again and again. The food ... wonderful! It was amazing how such delicious food was created from such simple and easy to find ingredients that were thoughtfully selected. It is easy to understand how Monisha's cookbooks have won so many rewards. What a treat to experience this class. We will be coming back for more next time we visit London.
