INCREDIBLE day!

Spent 1/2 day with a peaceful & warm family in their home-based garden and kitchen learning and cooking authentic Nepali food. Organic Veggies straight from their on-site garden. Genuine teaching and patient guidance from Kalpana and her daughter, Sachiko.

Delightful Authentic Experience of Cooking Nepalese Food with a Beautiful Nepalese Family

I had the privilege of spending time with this beautiful Nepalese woman and her family who graciously welcomed me into their family kitchen and shared the recipes and experience of preparing authentic Nepalese food. Do not eat before you go! You prepare so much food that you and the family eat together. I also learned how to make masala (milk tea) and hot ginger lemon honey tea. After the mid morning meal we then embarked on the lengthy process of making delicious momos. Dumplings filled w...read more

A Nepal must-do

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed being welcomed into Kalpana’s kitchen! Her and her family’s warm hospitality and knowledgeable teaching was such a great experience. We shared many laughs and folded many momos together. We are so excited to make momos at home and show our friends! Thanks again.

最高の料理教室

言葉にならないくらい、最高の体験でした。男ひとりでの参加で少し不安でしたが、笑顔が素敵なカルパナさんと、サチコさんがとても楽しく教えてくれます。たっぷり10品以上を、ゆっくり時間をかけて教えてくれるのでとても勉強になります。また、私は英語があまりできないのですが、日本人が話せるスタッフ(旦那さん)がサポートしてくれるので安心です。味付けは自然なものを使っているので日本人の好みにも合います。
