Jyoti is a treasure!! A fabulous cook and such a fun, warm, and smart teacher. First of all, before the class I was able to express what dishes I hoped we could prepare. Everything I suggested, she said no problem. My whole family spent the day cooking, learning, and eating with Jyoti. At one point my 10 year old daughter... More

Being tought a little about the history of Indian cooking and proceeding to cooking a large dinner with several delishious dishes was a great experience for someone interested in food and wanting to learn more about the spices and tastes of India. Thank you Jyoti for being helpful and inspiring!

Foodies and home cooks will love this but even just lovers of good Indian food can come along, watch the demonstration and sample the delights.... More

The class went well beyond cooking,... More

Allow a whole day for this wonderful guide to Indian cooking. It was my favourite day in Delhi. The trip to the spice markets is an added bonus. All you Australians, we purchased heaps of spices (including saffron) and it all got through customs (declared). Do not get bay leaves or any un-crushed seeds and you will be ok.

She was very smart and informative, and could answer all our questions about regional cuisine and Hindu culture. She is warm, fun,... More
