About This Event
A rich introduction to Indian home cooking
Join Indian food connoisseur, cook and writer Bhavna Kalra for an informative and delicious cooking experience built around authentic Indian flavours and seasonal ingredients. This intensive but practical class is designed for foodies who love hearty Indian food and want the confidence to recreate it at home.

- Practice Indian cooking techniques and pick up useful tips and tricks
- Sit down to enjoy a memorable seven-course Indian feast
The class aims to leave you with practical knowledge for preparing curries, dals and meat-based dishes more easily at home, while helping you become more confident with Indian spices and lentils that can also be used across other cuisines.
