If you want to learn how to cook delicious Indian food, then I recommend you join one of Monisha’s cooking courses. I have done two of her courses so far, and I am looking forward to joining her on her cultural food tour to South India in February 2027. You’re involved in both cooking and preparing the dishes, while also learning about the ingredients, along with useful tips and techniques. I would definitely recommend it!
What a lovely experience! I did the half-day vegetarian/vegan course with my 18yo son. Monisha was lovely from start to finish - incredibly knowledgeable, patient and good fun. Our group had people of all ages and interests and she made it accessible and informative for us all. I loved that she allowed us to make a few "mistakes" along the way - like when she raised a wry eyebrow at the pieces of potato that hadn't cooked evenly because they were different sizes. We learnt loads of top tips about ingredients and cooking, and came home with loads of delicious food and recipes. I fully intend to go back for more!
Very small class meant that Monisha could give lots of attention to each participant. The whole day was fun and very informative. I was nervous about using spices, but left feeling much more confident. In fact, I’ve put the lesson into practice by making dinner for my nephew who gave a big thumbs up
The most amazing experience. Would definitely recommend!
We had a great time learning how easy and simple it is to prepare a meal. Monisha was wonderful and so inviting. She keeps a clean place and accessible for us to work around. Plus, the food we prepared then eat was delicious. We walked away with a desire to prepare this food at home once we get there.
I have attended 2 courses now and completed online courses, really enjoyed every one . I learned such in a relaxed friendly atmosphere . Monisha is lovely and takes you through each step with such knowledge . Xx
Excellent experience! We learnt how to make a really tasty Murgh Masala, lovely Subji and salad raita. The food was delicious and we are looking forward to making it again! Monisha is an excellent teacher as she explained every step clearly, by giving plenty of advice and she is a fantastic host with whom you feel at ease talking about a variety of topics. Really recommended!
We had a great day. It started in a local shop where Monisha gave great tips on buying Indian rice and spices. Back at the house we prepped and cooked all day doing a total of six fish and seafood dishes stopping for lunch to eat two of them. The others, we brought home to either have for dinner or freeze for another day. Generous portions and everything was delicious. We felt that we learned a lot about Indian cooking - both spicing and methods. Much of the advice and the techniques could be applied to other cuisines. Just four of us on the course so we got lots of attention. Highly recommend!
Amazing fish curry course.. This is the second Indian cookery course with Monisha.. what a delightful, warm, funny and welcoming chef.. The food we made was delicious… and so simple to make. Thank you very much Monisha.. we’ll definitely see you again.
This was my second cooking class with Monisha. I loved the first one (Simple Indian Food) and was really keen to do another one (Fish & Seafood). As always, Monisha was a gracious and entertaining host, and a fantastic teacher. Could not recommend more!
