PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR CLASSES AND WALKS SCHEDULE,DETAILS AND PRICES

There are many classes to choose from. Learn to layer flavours and create blends that are at the heart of Indian cooking. Time saving techniques and creating distinct, bursting flavours are the hallmarks of each class. Each class will cover a full meal and all ingredients and recipe sheets are provided. All classes are hands-on (and lots of fun!) and we eat what we cook at the end of a class. They are all suitable for all levels of ability.

Booking is essential of walks and classes. Please check availabilty before sending your booking form.

All classes held in Hounslow West. We meet outside Hounslow West underground station and go to the local shop to learn about some key ingredients with which we will cook. Come back to the Cooking With Monisha Kitchen which is a 2 minute walk away and enjoy the cookery lesson.
