    Take the time to know a local family and have a meal

    Paul_J, Dec 2025
    You are invited into the home of a local family. Our hosts were gracious and fun to get to know. They use a ton of spices in this dish. Don’t eat breakfast before you go, you have a lot of good eating to do!

    Thank you so much sir and madam for the wonderful feedback. Looking forward to seeing you again for others activities too. Namaste 🙏

    How to cook Nepali

    Carol_Z, Nov 2024
    So enjoyed watching Sanva and her cousin move around her very efficient kitchen. Loved how she kept her spices organized. We used all the veggies I have seen growing in the area. We were able to taste the dishes as they cooked. The grand finale was lunch.

    Relaxed, Fun & Authentic Cooking Class

    Morwenna_B, Oct 2024
    A really fun and relaxed cooking experience. Shanta and her family were incredibly friendly and generous with their time and knowledge. Shanta was super patient and an amazing teacher! I really enjoyed learning how to make all the different elements of an authentic Nepali Dal Bhat. Can’t wait to try and make this back home. Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone.

    Wonderful cooking and learning experience in a Nepali kitchen with very experienced and good teachers. Having enjoyed the local flavors, I was eager to learn the secrets, the spices, and the process. Did not disappoint and both myself and my eight-year-old daughter had a lot of fun.

    I had a wonderful time learning to cook with Roma and Rita. The very welcoming, heartwarming, and hard working women. I got to cook one of the most popular dishes in Nepal and learn about the food culture, all whilst using homegrown ingredients. I would recommend this to anyone! Thanks so much for welcoming me into your home!
