Description

Good to Know

I am Esther Rai, I love cooking different foods. since my child i used to spend time with my mom and sister in the kitchen, i used to enjoy watching and engaging with them in whole process of cooking. I feel very happy and joyful when people love eating what i cook. I started my cooking class program since covid-19 as i had to find ways for financial support for my family. Dal Bhat, momo, thukpa are the menu that i teach in my class and i do menu as per guest request. My idea through this class is to give experience of Nepali kitchen and whole experience of preparing food in Nepal. I take guest to market for buying all the ingredient for cooking and interact with local people. 1. We take our guest to local market before starting cooking class. They will experience market, interact with local people. 2. We location is very unique. We are 5m walking distance from Patan Durbar Square, where guest can explore authentic Nepal. 3. Cooking is my passion and i love doing and sharing it .

Delicious Dishes, Warm People – Perfect Experience!

Absolutely amazing experience! This class was a true highlight of my time in Nepal. The hosts were warm, welcoming, and so passionate about sharing their culture and food. Making momos, dalbhat, and thukpa from scratch was fun, hands-on, and incredibly tasty. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, and we all shared laughs while learning traditional recipes. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable Nepali experience!

Explosion of flavours

We enjoyed the historical informations and traditons about Patan and Nepali culture. We liked it to go to the local market to buy fresh vegetables and meat. Was funny to cook with Ester and her colaborator.We've learned how to do momo, chicken curry and dhal bhat. We have discovered new spices. Great experience!!

Superb cooking class!

Esther is both a great chef and guide! She took me to the market to buy our groceries for the class and gave so much explanation. Had an amazing time!

Amazing food experience

A lovely morning spent some of my Nepalese favourite dishes. Esther was very nice and the food we cooked was excellent. We went to the local market to buy some ingredients and then cooked one complete meal. This was my first experience and I strongly recommend it. It’s a good way to learn about local culture.
