Must-do experience to get in touch with local culture! - We had an amazing time with Shalini! She welcomed us with chai and snacks, showed us how to make different types of Indian breads and many other dishes, and the best thing was chatting about our cultures all along. It was also fun to have dinner with Shalini's family and talking with her kids. This experience was definitely a highlight of our trip to India and we strongly recommend it to get in touch with local culture. If you book with Shalini you will get the best host!

Incredible India - I recently attended a cooking class that was an absolute delight from start to finish. We began with a fun trip to the market, learning how to pick the freshest ingredients, which made the experience feel authentic and immersive. Back in the kitchen, the atmosphere was warm and lively as we prepared several dishes under the guidance of a fantastic instructor. There was plenty of talking, laughing, and sharing stories as we cooked, making it feel like a gathering of friends rather than a formal class. The highlight was sitting down together to enjoy the delicious meal we had created—it tasted even better knowing the effort we’d put in. This class wasn’t just about cooking; it was about connecting and having fun. I left with new skills, great recipes, and wonderful memories. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a joyful culinary experience!

An amazing time with Shalini and her family, with tasty authentic food - If you love Indian food and want to have an authentic and great night with an Indian family - please book a cooking class with Shalini. She’s a lovely warmharted person and she made us feel like a part of her family for the night. First she took us to the market for a tour and told us all about Indian ingrediënts and spices. Then she made us snacks and chai and after we cooked lots of authentic veg recipes. Her mother in law helped us out and we really learned so much about the indian cuisine. We cant wait to try the recipes at home! ❤️

Shop & cook with a local expert - This was a highlight of our trip to Jaipur. Shalini was a wonderful guide around the local shopping areas. And then welcomed us in to her house to learn how to cook some wonderful vegetarian food. We sat and enjoyed dinner with the whole family. Just delightful!
