Love to cook - this is a must!

Fun fun experience. I take cooking classes whenever possible when I travel (Bali, Japan, France, Italy, Germany, India, Mexico ...). Ibrahim, our driver, picked us up at our hotel. Because of Mumbai traffic, it took us 1 1.2 hours to get there and 2 hours to get back. Jaya and her daughter (who was off from school that day) welcomed us into their home. We made a feast of all of their everyday, favorite dishes. We made a list of spices to buy that we could not get at home (and purchased them whil...read more

Wonderful afternoon followed by extraordinary food - an Indian culinary experience not to be missed!.

This was one of those "one of a kind" incredible experiences with a wonderful family not to be missed. A perfect afternoon spent in the company of a charming and very knowledgeable couple, wonderful and welcoming hospitality. Not often do things just "click" but on this occasion, I probably learnt more in that one afternoon about Indian food, culture and family life than I could ever have hoped for.

Real cooking in a real home

A truly wonderful cooking class in the home of Rahul and Deepika. This class is very hands on, and you actually learn how to make all the dishes, even the chapati! The end result was, needless to say, delicious.

Traditional Indian food in family home

We had a wonderful time cooking in a local family home. The husband spoke excellent English and his wife made a delicious meal.

Kochen in freundlicher Atmosphäre mit Rahul und Harsha

Ich habe mit Rahul und Harsha in ihrem privaten Umfeld gekocht. Ich wurde pünktlich um zehn Uhr abgeholt und habe in vier Stunden gelernt, wie ich Brot, Reis, zwei Hauptgerichte und einen Nachtisch zubereite. Es war wirklich ein besonders schönes Erlebnis. Ich habe selbst viel zubereitet unter Anleitung. Alles könnte ich zu Hause leicht zu bereiten. Abgesehen vom Kochen, war es auch eine persönliche Bereicherung mit Rahul und Harsha und ihrer Familie zusammen zu sein. Es war ein sehr schöner Vor...read more
