• Orpington - Join Jemima, along with her husband and children when they are at home, for an authentic South Indian cooking and dining experience. Jemima resides in a family home located on the outskirts of London (London Zone 6) in Orpington, a peaceful suburb inhabited by professional working families. In this cooking class, participants will learn to prepare traditional South Indian dishes with Jemima, who has been cooking all her life. Participants might learn to make dishes such as a traditional tomato or coconut chutney, a meat or vegetable curry, as well as dosas or idlis.

After the cooking class, participants will enjoy the meal they helped prepare. The menu might feature South Indian favorites like dosas (Indian crepe-like pancakes made from fermented lentil and rice batter), a chutney, and a meat and vegetable curry, all served at their kitchen dining table. During the summer, meals can be enjoyed on their back patio. Please note that the host will serve the guests and is happy to chat while they eat, but will not dine with them to ensure the dosas are served piping hot! Depending on the group size, the cooking portion of the experience lasts between 1 to 1.5 hours.
