Overview
With the help of your cooking instructor Monisha Bharadwaj, an award winning author of 17 books, professional chef (Iron Chef America judge) and teacher (Recognised Culinary Educator 2025 and 2026, UK) you will discover the unique flavours of Indian cooking while learning about the history of how Indian food came to be so popular in the UK.

You will enjoy visiting a vibrant, multicultural neighbourhood of London that is not usually frequented by tourists.

We will then cook our meal to include Pulao Rice, a curry (chicken or chickpea), a smoked cumin raita (a dish made with salad vegetables and yoghurt) and a vegetable side dish. We will cook as a group but there will be lots of hands on activity as we want our guests to do the cooking! We will eat what we cook at the end. We will provide recipe sheets and ingredients.
