5.00A unique experience! The shopping at the market was already great, but what came after it exceeded everything again! We were very lucky and were a group of 2 today. The location is an absolute dream and the family is incredibly nice. The food we prepared together was agreed with us before and personal wishes were taken into account. The result was the best food we had on our trip so far! Absolute recommendation.
Brilliant experience!

5.00What a brilliant experience! From visiting the market to learn about and pick out fresh produce to getting hands on in the kitchen preparing amazing food. I learnt so much and really enjoyed the wonderful setting to cook in! Shyama is an excellent teacher. As a solo traveller I felt instantly welcomed and engaged with a group of like minded people all there to learn and experience. Would 100% recommend!

5.00It was one of the best cooking classes I have ever done. We went first to the market to buy some ingredients and then they took me to their beautiful house in the countryside. We cooked 8 delicious dishes. 100% recommend it.
