Jaipur Pink City Cooking Class

Doing the cooking class with Swati and her family was such a heartwarming experience. I learned a lot and had so much fun - can‘t wait to try the recipes at home!! And honestly I really felt like being part of the family. Such welcoming, open-minded and lovely people! I can highly recommend the course to anyone visiting Jaipur! Thank you for having me 🙏🏻

Booking with Swati was seamless - she replied almost instantly to our request. From the moment we arrived, her family welcomed us like old friends. Swati customized the lesson to what we wanted to learn, patiently answering all our questions and explaining every step clearly. ​Beyond cooking, we loved sitting together, sharing stories, and talking about life. The food was deeply comforting, full of flavor and delicious. She even sent us the recipes afterward so we could recreate the dishes. ​A truly special, fun experience with delicious food and great conversation. Highly recommended in Jaipur!

I had an excellent cooking class with Swati! This is how it went: A few days ahead of the class, Swati contacted me and asked what dishes I’d like to cook. I could choose the ones I’ve always wanted to learn, which was great. Swati only cooks vegetarian dishes, which works well for me. Her home is located very centrally in pink city and I took a Tuk Tuk to get to her place. It was easy to find, because she shared her Google Maps location with me via What’s App. Upon arrival, Swati’s father-in-law picked me up and guided me to Swati’s home. When I arrived at her home, I received a bottle of water as refreshment and Swati and I had a really nice chat to get to know each other. Swati then guided me to her kitchen and showed me how to cook chai tea, which tasted delicious. After finishing the tea, we started cooking three different dishes. I picked a lentil dish (Dal), a curry with cauliflower and potato (Aloo Gobi) and a vegetable Biryani. Swati also made three different types of bread. Swati showed me some really good cooking tricks, and it was a great pleasure to cook myself and also observe her doing it., taking many pictures After all dishes were made, I got to enjoy the tasty meal, along with Swati’s daughter, who came from school after we started cooking. All dishes tasted excellent! But I have to say that the Aloo Gobi was one of the best I’ve ever eaten. I was initially concerned about whether the food will be safe (e.g. regarding hygiene), but when I saw Swati cooking, I had no concern. The kitchen was very clean and she always used purified water for cooking. Since I was doing the cooking class by myself, and there was no one else attending the class, Swati made me feel very welcome and comfortable. Her English is excellent. After I finished eating, Swati organized a Tuk Tuk for me, which took me back to the hotel. A couple of hours later what he shared all the recipes via WhatsApp. I am very happy that I got to experience this class. Not only did I learn a lot about Indian cooking, but I loved this very authentic experience that other tourists might not experience. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend this experience. Swati was kind and accomodating and took our request for dishes we wanted to learn. Her family was so warm and welcoming. You will make a lot of food, it will be good and you will have the recipes sent to you to try at home.

Thank you for the wonderful evening with your family. Swati took the time to find out what dishes and flavors we like and then came up with the dishes we would help make. The food was delicious and getting to experience it in their home was special.

We visited Swati and her family at their home and had a wonderful, exciting, and delicious evening. The cooking class was so much fun! Swati speaks excellent English, and everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!

I had such a wonderful experience with Swati! I felt super comfortable with her from the very beginning, and cooking together felt so natural and enjoyable. She made me feel right at home, and I truly felt comfortable and at ease throughout the whole experience. I would absolutely recommend her!

Amazing experience! The family was so welcoming and made me feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious, and I loved learning how to cook authentic Indian dishes. Such a fun and memorable experience—I’d highly recommend it!

Incredible experience! We were welcomed by this lovely family. The food was fantastic as well as the tea and we enjoyed every bit of it. Would recommend to all visiting Jaipur.

We had a fantastic time in with Swati and her family. They are such lovely people who made every effort to share their culture and food with us in a most hospitable way. She was so kind and patient with us, and Swati and her mother made absolutely delicious food for us. We will definitely go again in the future. Best experience we've had in Jaipur so far - I can't recommend it enough.
