Wonderful teacher, lots of fun, couldn’t eat any more! - What a wonderful morning spent with a very welcoming, friendly, and talented chef & hostess. Before we’d even set foot in her classroom, Kanchan had willingly tailored her class for our preferences. When we arrived, she beckoned us in with some delicious juice and pakora snacks.
Then we got down to the real fun! Kanchan gave us each a dish to cook and talked through the recipes and methods in a well-paced manner, and her passion for cooking shone through. There was a blend of experienced and new “chefs” in the class, and she adjusted accordingly; answering nuanced questions with detail precision and helping the entry-level chefs’ with patience and encouragement. The result was 8 incredibly tasty dishes and whole lot of knowledge gained.
The meal itself was fit for any first-class restaurant but it’s the experience and learnings that our family will take with us, as we return home. You can just tell how much joy Kanchan takes from teaching others and helping them become better chefs. We’re very grateful for her time and expertise.
Note: Definitely recommend arriving on an empty stomachs. Between the snacks and the meal, you’ll struggle to finish all of the dishes!
Thank you, Kanchan!

Excellent cooking course - We had a fantastic experience at Kanchan’s authentic Indian cookery course. Kanchan was a wonderful host and a very knowledgeable chef. She was incredibly friendly and explained all the basics of Indian cooking clearly, which made it easy for everyone to follow along.
We learned to cook a great variety of authentic dishes and picked up lots of useful tips about spices, preparation and techniques that we can use at home. Our group was quite varied, including a teenager and some complete novice cooks, but Kanchan made sure everyone felt comfortable and involved.
It was a really enjoyable and relaxed experience, and the food we made was delicious. I would highly recommend this cookery course to anyone wanting to learn authentic Indian cooking. I’m looking forward to trying some of the dishes again when we get home!

Amazing - The best cooking class I’ve ever attended—and I’ve been to many around the world 😍 Kanchan is a true angel! She has incredible expertise, and you can clearly see that her heart and soul are in cooking. She works with high-quality ingredients, doesn’t dilute anything, and even makes her own spices. She’s energetic, cheerful, and has a captivating personality. I wholeheartedly recommend buying spices from her too!

Best Cooking Experience 💛 - How do you start a review for something that actually deserves more than five stars?
We are incredibly happy that we decided to take a cooking class with Kanchan. From the first moment we felt welcome and in good hands.
Kanchan is not only an exceptionally warm, open and dear person, but also has an impressive professional knowledge of Indian cuisine. As real foodies, we had many very specific questions and wishes – and that’s exactly what she addressed individually. She not only took our interests into account, but also took them up perfectly and integrated them into the course.
In addition to the recipes themselves, she has explained countless tricks, backgrounds, spice combinations and cultural contexts that you won't find in any cookbook. You immediately notice that she loves her kitchen and passes on this knowledge with great pleasure.
This cooking class was a real highlight of our trip for us. I can really wholeheartedly recommend anyone to take a cooking class at Kanchan – whether it’s a beginner or a passionate amateur cook. It is an experience that goes far beyond pure cooking.

Warm hearted learning and enjoying - Kanchan offers a truly authentic and warm hearted cooking & learning experience. The three hours are well paced and just fly by. She really teaches the essence of Indian food and showed us how to make dozens of different meals by adding different ingredients to the base that we made in the beginning. Her passion for cooking and people really lights up the room and brings a fun and light atmosphere into the class. And, needless to say, the food we ate in the end was amazing. Thank you Kanchan for this wonderful experience.
