It was a time filled with warmth, hospitality, smiles and of course a lot of heart 🩷, not to mention great food, visiting a family in India. Mr. Sandri is a wonderful teacher who truly loves cooking! The kitchen, the apartment is kept very clean and it is a nice and windy place from the balcony. I'd love to hear about it again! Thank you very much.
We learned some classics––including how to make the softest idli ever––and we loved how accommodating Sundarii was of our veganism! We'd recommend it and would be happy to do another class in the future!
Thank you so much for this lovely review. We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed learning these classic dishes and especially that ultra-soft idli! Sundarii will be delighted to know that her vegan accommodations made the experience even better for you. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to host you again for another class in the future. Until then, happy cooking and enjoy recreating those dishes at home!
We absolutely loved our cooking experience with Sundarii! She was informative on the spices and techniques, warm and friendly, and truly made us feel welcome and at home. We love to cook and will treasure the recipes she sent with us. We chose the veg option, and were delighted by the simple techniques to make truly delicious dishes from lentils, potatoes, and other common ingredients back home! Thank you Sundarii and your family for welcoming us into your home!
I had the pleasure of attending Ms. Sundarii's cooking class while on a business trip in Bangalore; in my free time on the weekend, I wanted to do something that was not just the typical tourist experience, and my husband, who loves cooking with Indian spice blends, suggested I look for a cooking class so I could learn all about how to use the spices authentically. He does nearly all the cooking at home, so I'm not exactly a chef, but thankfully Ms. Sundarii was very patient and the class is very beginner-friendly. The pacing was also very relaxed even though we made something like five dishes in 2-3 hours. She completely customized our menu to my preferences; she suggested a spicy fish curry that sounded delicious, but I asked to make a chicken dish since we cook a lot of chicken at home, and in the end we made both (as well as several other side dishes). Everything was delicious, but the fish curry was the standout, so if you take this class, I can highly recommend this one! But I'm sure everything you make will be wonderful. As a foodie, this class gave me a deep appreciation for just how many herbs and spices and ingredients go into Indian dishes. Ms. Sundarii and her family were very kind and welcoming, and if work ends up sending me to Bangalore again in the future, I will definitely try to take another class and learn how to make more dishes!
This will be a memory I will always cherish with my trip to India. Sundarii and her husband were wonderful hosts. I learned so much about Indian spices and their traditional foods. I felt when I left that I can definitely be able to remake the dishes we made.
Cooking with Sundarii was a memory I will treasure forever! I learned so much about using spices and traditional Indian food. Her and her husband were wonderful host. And the food was fantastic. I would 100% recommend cooking with Sundarii.
It has been a most wonderful experience to learn something about Indian cuisine and culture, asking questions and getting to put my hands on some of the preparations myself. The hospitality of Sundarii and her husband is truly outstanding. A clear recommendation.
We had a lovely afternoon with Sundarii and her husband cooking lunch together. A more patient and generous couple you could not find. Of course the food was delicious but the best part was spending time with the hosts from whom we learned much.
We had an absolutely wonderful time with Sundarii and her lovely family. Our three-day culinary journey to learn southern Indian cuisine was truly unforgettable. She prepared a menu that perfectly matched our specific requests, but her generosity didn't stop there. She went above and beyond, sharing a wealth of additional knowledge that greatly enriched our experience. Her insights and tips were invaluable, providing us with a deeper understanding and appreciation of southern Indian cuisine. It was a delightful and enlightening experience, and we are incredibly grateful for her warmth and willingness to share her culinary expertise with us. Her teaching style was so meticulous and easy to follow, which made the whole experience enjoyable and educational. But most importantly, the dishes we made under her guidance turned out absolutely delicious! We were also thrilled to learn about ingredients and spices that are not commonly found in Japan. It was a wonderful opportunity to get hands-on experience with such unique items, and we truly appreciated the chance to learn from her directly in such an immersive way. We would love to take another class with her in the future. Thanks again for such a memorable and tasty experience!
Had a great time being hosted by Sundarii who was very hospitable and also knowledgeable. We made Aval kheer and potato capsicum curry, both delicious. Great experience overall, would highly recommend
