Brilliant cookery course in Pondicherry

We did a cookery course with Manisha and cannot recommend it highly enough. We met at outside the market and she then took us through the market explaining what we needed to buy. We took a tuk tuk back to Manisha's apartment just 10mins away where we prepped and cooked dinner. We then had a lovely meal, chatting with the others in the group. Manisha was great at sharing her knowledge about South Indian food and cooking, very clear on her instructions and made the whole evening fun.

Excellent cookery class

This is a super cookery class, and a great way to learn about traditional Indian cooking. It was friendly, relaxed and fun. Shopping in the market was brilliant and our fish curry was delicious. I’d highly recommend this if you are in Pondicherry.
