One of the Best Cooking Classes in Delhi

One of the Best Cooking Classes in Delhi — Such a Wonderful Experience I booked this cooking class in Delhi completely last minute, and I honestly couldn’t be happier that I did. First of all, I was really surprised and grateful that JD and his team accepted my booking at such short notice. They welcomed me into their home and immediately made me feel so comfortable. I was greeted with JD’s special chai and, oh my God, that chai was so good. He really is a chai master. Then we started the co...read more

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a generous and thoughtful review! I am so glad we could accommodate your last-minute booking and welcome you into our home. Starting the experience with a fresh cup of chai is always our favorite way to break the ice, so hearing that you enjoyed the chai so much really means a lot! Making Indian cooking feel approachable, hands-on, and fun is exactly what we aim for. Hearing you say that it felt like a piece of cake by the end—and that you feel confident enough to recreate those exact dishes back in your own kitchen—is the best compliment we could ask for. My father and the whole team loved hosting you, and sharing our home, culture, and daily life with travelers like you is what makes hosting so special for us. If you ever want to check out the other cultural walks or experiences we run for a future trip to Delhi, you can find us online at Explore Real India. When you want to bring even more of those flavors into your kitchen or read more about the culture here, you can search Amazon for my books: Art Of Indian Cooking - 65 Recipes of Spices, Stories & Soul Don’t Just Visit India. Feel It.: Understanding India Before You Arrive Let's stay in touch on Insta too. You can find our daily updates by searching for Art of Indian Cooking and Food Tours Delhi. Thank you again for joining us, for the high recommendation, and for making our experience a highlight of your trip to India. Happy cooking back home!

More than just a cooking class!

We’ve done cooking classes all over the world and can honestly say this is one of the very best!! From arrival to JD’s family home and welcome with a warm masala chai (still the best we’ve had anywhere in India), we hit it off immediately. And more than just learning some fantastic recipes that we hope to be able to recreate, JD shared so much about local culture and regional customs that helped shape our whole trip. This is a truly exceptional experience that goes well beyond a normal cooking c...read more

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and generous review! Hearing that this was one of the best cooking classes you have done around the world is an absolute honor for my family and me. I am so glad you enjoyed the welcome masala chai—we take our chai very seriously here, so knowing it was your favorite in India is a huge compliment! Combining our home cooking class with the Old Delhi street food walk really gives you the best of both worlds, and connecting with guests over regional recipes, family stories, and local customs is what hosting is all about for us. Knowing that our conversations helped shape your broader trip through the country means everything.
