So well thought out

This was so much fun, so well organised, the staff are excellent and the experience so holistic. The visit to the market was a beautiful opportunity to get to know the cooking assistants who shared how authentic the recipes and food we were creating was. They were experts because it’s what they cook at home. The chocolate mo mo was my favourite and it was satisfying to know that our money was helping to support worthy causes in Nepal.

Fun way to learn about food culture

Ended up being a private class, as no others had signed up. We were met at our hotel and walked over to the cooking school. This is a family run business. I think their market experience is merely a room in the location with local spices, cook books, aprons etc for sale. The spices are grown on a family farm. We had the choice of 3 menus to choose from and could make some substitutions or add other items that were available. We reviewed difference spices used in Nepali cooking before starting to cook. We helped to make 4 items. Thukpa soup, bars, momos, and carrot pudding. Also masala tea. We also made a spice paste to go with the bara and momos that was excellent. Can’t wait to get the recipes and hoping they will include their pakudo recipe. It was a fun time and we had enough to eat. Would highly recommend.

The trip of a lifetime

Shree and the team were excellent guides for my stay in Nepal, they were kind, funny, and shared their knowledge about the country. Whenever I needed something, they made it happen, and I am grateful to have had them lead my travels through this beautiful country. Thanks!

Feel like a local!

Amazing experience! 💕✨ Very friendly and experienced staff. They patiently guided us through choosing a menu and taught us the ins and outs of Nepalese food. 🇳🇵We started by going to the markets to purchase the needed ingredients and then cooking the delicious food. They were all amazing and the chocolate momos are a must 👌🏻. They also sent us the recipes via email so we don't forget how to cook them next time ☺️.

If you want to cook Nepali, do it here!

Amazing cooking experience. Learnt how to make the traditional Nepalese meals - Dal Bhat and delicious Momos. Such a great experience - started with heading to the local market and spice shop to buy our groceries. We learnt how to make our own dough and cook with spices. The chocolate Momos were a highlight. Needless to say we were all rolling out there with happy faces and full bellies!

I do a cooking class in every country I visit but this was the best so far. The staff are so knowledgeable and friendly and the food is delicious. I got to eat the food I prepared and was full by the end - great value for money.
