スンダリのチェンナイの自宅でプライベートマーケット見学＆料理教室

Sundari’s cooking session in her home was wonderful - we reached out directly, and she was very accommodating, providing helpful and clear instructions on how to get there and what to expect. When we arrived, Sundari gave everyone a lovely welcome into her home and introduced herself, before taking us through to the kitchen. Sundari has such a genuine and warm personality — her love for cooking truly shines through, and the meals we made were absolutely delicious. It took about 2 1/2 hours for the 3 dishes we made (including eating time), and it didn’t feel hurried or rushed. You can elect to make more courses, but we were on a tighter timeframe. Sundari was clear throughout, and was happy to answer any questions, and also provided very clear written recipe instructions to take home, so we could recreate our dishes another time. A wonderful and authentic experience, with a wonderful host, with delicious food at the end. What more could you want? Thank you Sundari!

If you are on the fence about booking this class, just do it. From the moment you step in, Sundari welcomes you with so much warmth, kindness, and genuine hospitality that it feels less like a formal class and more like cooking in the kitchen of a dear friend. What makes this experience truly special is how personalized it is. Being able to choose the dishes means you actually learn to make the exact flavors you love—whether you prefer rich, comforting curries, fresh regional specialties, or crisp breads. Sundari's instruction is hands-on, clear, and paced so well that even a complete beginner feels confident. Beyond just the recipes, the real magic is in the storytelling and tradition. Sundari didn't just teach us how to mix spices or time a tadka (tempering); she shared the history, regional roots, and cultural stories behind every ingredient. You walk away understanding why things are done a certain way, not just blindly following steps. To top it all off, sitting down at the end to feast on everything we created together was unforgettable. And leaving with a full, detailed set of recipes means the magic doesn't end when the class does—I have already recreated the dishes at home, and my kitchen smells just like the real deal. Thank you, Sundari, for an incredible, soulful, and delicious experience. I cannot recommend this enough!

We had such a wonderful cooking class with Sundari in Chennai! She was incredibly kind, welcoming, and such a great teacher. She was especially wonderful with my 9-year-old and made the whole experience so much fun. And the food was SOOOO delicious!! 😍 My favourite part was her making me feel at home and having nice conversations amongst the cooking🥰 I highly recommend Sundari to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable cooking experience in Chennai. We can’t wait to learn more from her in the future! ❤️

I had such a wonderful time with Sundari! The traditional dishes she taught me were absolutely delicious, and I learned so much throughout the experience. Sundari is a warm, charming, and caring person who went above and beyond to make sure I had a great time, even outside of the cooking lesson. If you’re looking for the best places to buy spices or other local products, just ask her—she’ll happily point you in the right direction. Having traveled to many countries, she brings a unique perspective and a wealth of life experience that truly enrich her cooking and teaching. Although Chennai is a long flight from Japan, I’d definitely come back to learn more of her amazing recipes. Thank you so much for such a memorable experience!

Thank you so much. We spend a lovly time. We are so glad I was able to learn the basics of South Indian cuisine. I'll definitely come again!

We made 3 delicious dishes together (paneer butter masala, potato and cauliflower dry masala, and Dal/lentils). Sundari also prepared some drinks and naan to go with the meal. She is a great listener, gifted cook, and exceptional teacher. She asked for my menu preferences and developed a menu based on that. I requested to learn about spices, and she explained ratios, and the timing to add spices to maximize their flavor. Each recipe had exceptionally well balanced spice profiles that I just loved!! We also walked to a small grocer so that I could buy the spices we used to bring home. This was a great experience. A short ride (15 min) Uber from ITC Chola. I highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic food. This is the best food that I have tasted in a long time. Sundari I also very good company. She and her husband have a beautiful home as well.

Exceptional welcome, wonderful and inspiring teacher, impressive results. We cooked with heart and soul, using few ingredients but adding magical spices along the way. Eating some of the best food, the laughter we shared and memories, will last forever! Thank you!

Sundari is an amazing teacher and cook, her classes are a delight to take and she is a wondering person to learn from. I had so much fun in this class and highly recommend to take her class. She not only teaches you how to cook yummy meals but also teaches the context behind Indian cooking and culture.

It was a wonderful experience! Sundari took contact with me in advance to explain exactly how to reach her home. It was perfect. She also ask me what I would like to cook, so I could choose traditional dishes of Tamil Nadu. After a warm welcome, she taught me very patiently how to make idly, dosa, coconut chutney,sambar and kootu. She gave a lot of explanation so that I can do it when I'll be back in Switzerland. She gave also a lot of explanation about life in Chennai and very good tips. It was a great pleasure to meet her and for sure, next time I go to Chennai, I'll take another lesson with Sundari. Thanks a lot dear Sumdari
