Experience Indian cooking

Alexandra_P, Aug 2025

Learned the basics of Indian cuisine with a wonderful host. The food tasted excellent. Also went to the store with Shilpa and while spending time with her learned a lot about India’s daily life also! Happy to have met her!

Wonderful class with a wonderful teacher

Paul_B, May 2023

Fantastic cooking class with Shilpa! Really great experience learning the basics of some simple Indian dishes and roti that were quick to put together but had wonderfully different flavors. She explained everything the was doing and the reasoning behind it all. I can't recommend her class enough to those looking to get into Indian cooking.

THe host is a passionate chef with extensive knowledge about indian north and south cuisine. Sometimes she went through cooking steps too fast but always willing to instruct me again. The market tour was awesome with all explanations in details about what each ingredient is used for. More than that, she also helped me to search for good hotels around her area and gave some tips about what places I should visit. Highly recommend to anyone interested in indian cuisine.
