Interactive Cooking Class with a Local Family in Jaipur

Not only did I learn to cook, I also learned about the food, spices and heritage. Monty is so highly experienced and passionate about what he does, it makes the experience extra special. Highly recommend and I’d definitely do it again.

It was great! We are welcomed directly into their apartment for an authentic experience and cuisine, a lovely family!

We really liked the cooking class with this family. We got a private class where we coud cook by ourselfs. We made three meals as well as rice, chapati and a dessert. The meals were relativly simple every day dishes, that you hardly get in restaurants. However, you can also ask to cook other recipes, if you want. At the end of the class, they will send you the recipes, so you can retry at home. Everything we coocked, tasted great. It was a very authentic cooking class in the home of a wonderful indian family.

I had the most wonderful experience joining Harshita for a cooking class in her home in Jaipur. I was warmly welcomed into her home like an old friend which made me feel completely at ease. Together, we cooked up a delicious feast of Indian classics, with Hashita guiding me step by step in a very hands-on and interactive way. The spice levels were thoughtfully adjusted to suit my sensitive Western stomach, which I really appreciated, and I still felt like I was getting an authentic taste of Indian flavours. The class was not only about cooking but also about connection—sharing stories, laughter, and culture. After all the fun in the kitchen, i was joined by Monty and their young daughter and we sat down together to enjoy the meal Harshita and I had prepared, which was such a special highlight. It truly felt like being part of their family for the day. I can’t recommend this experience enough—it was amazing from start to finish. Thank you so much, Monty and Harshita, for such a memorable and heartwarming experience.

I am impatient to meet chef Swati for an exciting cooking class on our new trip to Jaipur. We were in Jaipur last February and Naveen, Swati's husband was our great guide. He talked about her cooking talents in such a mouthwatering and loving way that I am impatient to learn with her how to prepare my favorite curries and lentil dishes.

We had such a lovely time with Monty and his family! We made some delicious food that they adapted (no spice!) with no issues to our request. They instantly made us feel welcome like we had been friends for a long time. I would recommend this experience to anyone visiting Jaipur!

Monty was extremely welcoming and made us feel at home in his home. We had a great time cooking and learning about spices and how different seasons can bring different flavours to dishes. The interaction and knowledge was fantastic and I will certainly recommend this fantastic experience. The food was delicious and I am looking forward to trying these new skills at home. Great work and thank you for teaching us great skills. If your passing through Jaipur this is a must do experience for anyone!

I cannot recommend this class enough - great insight into Indian food, delicious recipes, warm & welcoming family! You cant go wrong

Huge thanks to Monty and Harshita for opening up their home to me and being such welcome hosts. They patiently showed me how to make absolutely delicious dal tadka, gobi masala, jeera rice, aloo masala, kheer and perfectly round chapati (ok, still lots of practice required on the last one…). All while teaching me how to better spice my food (after trying homemade garam masala I can never go back to store bought!), speak some Hindi and have a ton of fun. They really went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and give me a lasting positive experience in India. Would easily recommend this to anyone visiting Jaipur. Thank you both and hope I can return someday soon!

Block printing with Monty was educational and fun! Learning the history behind block printing while creating our own pieces really ties the whole experience together. It was a highlight of my trip!
