Cooking Class with Sona

Wonderful experience, Sona is amazing

Delighted to have met Sona and her cooking class in Varanasi. We loved how well prepared she had everything and her way of explaining to us how to cook curry, samosas, and chapati bread. The food was the best we have eaten on our entire trip to India. We would do it again without thinking twice. Thanks Sona!

When contacting Sona, I knew exactly what I wanted to learn to cook, naans because they are so good at the restaurant but I never succeeded at home, and Paneer Kathi Rolls... Sona suggested that I prepare a butter paneer to go with the naans and also show me how to prepare the paneer. I had a wonderful time. I learned new cooking techniques and I enjoyed the meal at the end. I sincerely recommend Sona's classes. I will not hesitate to take another class if I am in the area or to stay in her guest house to enjoy both her cooking and the warmth of this family.

Sona treats you like family while you learn to cook in her kitchen. Her English is very good and easy to understand. She let me pick what dishes I wanted to learn to make, so we made Dahl, aloo parantha, chai, etc. She has a water filter system so it's safe to drink/cook with.

On the recommendation of our friend we booked a cooking class at Sona. Cleverly and with warm joy she guided us in the production of the individual dishes. She tells us with joy the process that we could easily recook the food, such as Palak Paneer or Alu Tiki. She also explained to us how the individual ingredients work with each other on our bodies. That’s when we realized how deeply connected it is to Ayurvedic cuisine. Thankful we could spend some hours with her.

We decided to organize the cooking class when we arrived in Varanasi, we hadn't thought of it before, and it was a really good choice! Sona is 'super hospitable and attentive, and also gives you a lot of advice .. it was one of the best dinners of our holiday! Super recommended!

A perfect way to get to see how real Indian food is cooked and prepared. Sona is very welcoming friendly and knowledgeable and provides great tuition. Fantastic authentic experience

If you want to immerse yourself in the true India, you should find your way to Sona. Your cooking class is much more than just a guide to cooking. In their cozy, small kitchen there is immediately a great atmosphere. Sona is a wonderful hostess with whom you can have great conversations about life, Indian culture and of course the love of food while cooking. Her warm nature makes the experience completely personal and authentic. The cooking itself was just amazing! We prepared a completely vegetarian menu, which was great in taste. The absolute highlight was the introduction to their world of flavours. Especially great was the sona sent us all recipes. An absolute must for anyone visiting Varanasi. Thank you, Sona, for this unforgettable experience! Thank you Bettina and Werner

Recommend 100%. Sona and her family are lovely and so welcoming. The food we made was delicious and I can’t wait to make it again when I go back home. A fantastic experience!

Very tasty food. Sona speaks very good english and she explains things well. I wish I had more time to learn more recipes!
