Monisha Bharadwaj is not only an award winning author, food historian and food writer but she’s also a master of the kitchen, having perfected her culinary skills at the Institute of Hotel Management, Catering Technology and Applied Nutrition in Mumbai. In 2004 she started her own cookery school to not only teach those with little knowledge of Indian food, but experienced chefs wanting learn more about her authentic techniques.

Each class starts with a trip to Monisha’s local Indian shop to look at the different ingredients and flavours she typically uses, before heading back to her home where the class will begin. Both full and half day classes are available, each giving an overview of a particular part of Indian cooking, whether that be specifically vegan or vegetarian food, seafood or biryani.

Full day classes start at 10.30am and are priced at £145, while half day classes start times vary with each one priced at £85.
