Additional Information

Monisha will meet you outside Hounslow West tube station, just 35 minutes from Central London (on the Piccadilly Line), at the class start time.

You’ll begin with a short trip to the Indian shop to learn about ingredients such as the many varieties of lentils (did you know that one pulse can give you three different ingredients to cook with?) and spices (such as the difference between fenugreek leaves and fenugreek seeds), and take in the smells and sounds of London’s Indian precinct. Buying the freshest ingredients is key to getting your flavours just right! You’ll then walk to Monisha’s kitchen, just 2 minutes away, to cook a fabulous hands on feast.

Full day class is from 10.30am-3.30pm. We take a break halfway, to sample some of the dishes we have prepared. You can take home some of the food we have prepared during the day.
