Cooking Classes

Learn how to cook authentic Indian, Mexican, American BBQ and Korean dishes

in a fun, friendly environment - our kitchen!

Small groups, hands on, perfect for beginners and competent cooks alike.

Our classes are for groups of 4 - 6 people, and start with a cup of tea or coffee upon arrival and a chat about ingredients and the dishes we are cooking. After a few hours of cooking the classes end with everyone sitting at the table, feasting on what we have cooked, drinks included. Recipe sheets provided.
