Cours de cuisine traditionnelle bengali à Kolkata dans une maison locale

It's like being invited to a friend's house. In warm hospitality I've been able to sit back and learn Bengali cuisine. It was a very fruitful time. I am also grateful that they taught me more about culture and history as well as cooking. I continue to travel the world and participate in cooking classes, but I am increasingly captivated by Fauci! Thank you very much for your support♪

We did the in-home meal with Debjai, not the cooking class. Everything was perfect. One of our group was a little in the fence about Bengali cuisine, which can sometimes overemphasize sweetness and fruits. (The rest of us were excited.) Debjai put together an incredible tasting menu of dishes that she inherited from her grandmother. A highlight was the banana flower salad, which reminded us of a similar Thai dish that we’ve enjoyed before. Debjai is a fantastic host. She helped guide us to her apartment, laid out some tasty snacks and drinks, had a beautifully hand-printed menu ready, and tended to our every need. I can’t say enough about the quality and attention to detail served by Traveling Spoon wherever we’ve used them. They offer one of the best ways to immerse yourself in a culture and meet locals.

The highlight of my trip to Kolkata! I had the most incredible home-cooked Bengali meal at Debjani’s beautiful, centrally located home. She welcomed us like family, and the setting, filled with antiques and artwork, was absolutely charming. The meal was delectable: masoor dal, begun bhaja, shorshe bhapa chingri, maach, and the perfect finish - mishti doi. Every dish was flavorful and prepared with love. It was also lovely to meet Debjani’s friends and share stories, it felt like having lunch with a group of my girlfriends. If you're looking to try authentic Bengali food in Kolkata, this experience is a must. Highly recommended!

It was great experience to join a wonderful dinner through the tour. Cuicine was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating. The owner's hospitality is very warm so I promise you that you wil have an unforgettable dish which is rich in aroma and passion.

I highly recommend this experience if you are in Kolkata. My husband and I arrived at our host Debjani's house and she welcomed us and made us feel at ease right away, in a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. Her family also made us feel at home. We learned how to make delicious dishes and had fun chatting about many topics. Debjani is an excellent cook and it was a pleasure to learn from her. The hours flew by enjoying good food and talking to nice people. I thank Debjani and her family so much for making this experience possible for us and I hope we can come back again.

This was my first traveling spoon experience, and it was just amazing! Debjani was an excellent host. We started in the morning markets to get a few ingredients and to have a nice cup of chai with local biscuits. Later we cooked and she gave me more insights into Bengali cuisine. After seeing and smelling all the mouthwatering cooking, I was served a delicious thali of several traditional Bengali dishes (My favorite new cuisine in India). Not only did I have a delicious meal but an engaging conversation with Debjani and I now have a new foodie friend. If you’re visiting Kolkata, you must book this wonderful Traveling Spoon experience with Debjani!

Wow! What an amazing experience to have had the opportunity to be hosted by Debjani, for my first Traveling Spoon. She took me to local markets nearby her lovely home and we stopped to have some tea and snacks as well. She did detailed insights into the cooking method and ingredients and then a beautiful thali presentation of fabulous Bengali cuisine was served to me. We shared travel, food and life stories and not only did I have a wonderful meal but also engaging conversations with Debjani. I can highly recommend this experience to anyone seeking to find a truly local Bengali food and life experience, it will be the highlight of your Kolkata visit!

First I must thank Debjani, for welcoming us into her home and making us feel so comfortable. We spent the afternoon learning to cook some Bengali traditional dishes. Debjani and her assistant did so of the preparation before so we could make some delicious dishes that we would not of be able to make in the time we had for the class. I learned so much about the different herb and spices that go into Bengali cuisine. So if you want to learn about India cuisine you should consider looking into this class. You will love it.. I can’t wait to try and make some of the dishes we made for my family back home.

The cooking class with Debjani was my absolute favourite part of visiting Kolkata! I went for a lunchtime class, along with the market tour—here are some of my highlights: - Debjani was such a lovely host! She made me feel really comfortable immediately and had so many interesting stories about her life, the food, and Kolkata - Her apartment is beautiful! It's a love letter to Kolkata, full of tasteful pieces of art, all of which have fascinating origins - The market tour was my favourite part of the whole day. We drove down to a nearby farmer's market and tried and bought lots of super fresh and unique ingredients—most of which I had never seen before. We also went to a classic Kolkata fish market with some of the freshest seafood I've seen - Debjani also drove me around that area of Kolkata and gave me a lot of background and stories about the different parts of the city. We stopped by an iconic tea stall and got chai and snacks too! - The cooking was so much fun—Debjani had planned five or six separate dishes and some of the prep (like overnight marination and mise en place) had already been done to make things a bit smoother - Everything was incredibly tasty and there were lots of dishes that I had never heard of before but will definitely be making again! It ended up being a full afternoon and the whole experience gave me a view into Kolkata that I would have completely missed if I just did all the touristy spots. I'd highly recommend the class for anyone who is interested in food, history, architecture, or Bengali culture!
