Great experience, more than just recipes - I had the most amazing time cooking with Anchal and Tastesutra!! I try to do a cooking class whenever I am in a new country and this class was by far one of my favorites! Ancra started the class by teaching us about all the different spices and how they enhance the food. Also, instead of just following a recipe, knowing more about the basic spices allows us to adjust our seasonings in the future for our tastes. She also taught us so much about the culture and Indian home-cooking. Following the class and the meal we did a short excursion into the nearby market where I could purchase all the spices we used at an extremely reasonable price!!

Excellent & fun local cooking class - This cooking class was excellent - really well run and fun. Made 5 different dishes - savoury lassi (choose savoury over sweet, so tasty!), three curries, dahl and roti. Vegetarian friendly, bright and fun cooking space (and for anyone concerned about potential delhi belly, it is a perfectly hygienic professional kitchen).
I added the market tour which was exactly what I was looking for to buy spices at a market with local guidance.
And its a young female run business.
Just made my second curry from the list of recipes shared.
Thanks again Tastesutra Team.

Amazing market tour and cooking class - Had an amazing time at this cooking class. Got to learn and educate myself with the different types of spices and cooking methods used.
Anchal was very knowledgeable and fun to learn from. The kitchen studio was clean and very modern.
Would definitely recommend this cooking class and definitely will attend again next time visiting Delhi

A wonderful food experience! - A group of 9 of us enjoyed a wonderful day with Anchal and her colleagues. A problem with the electricity in the street proved no obstacle to her as we still learned loads about the creation of spiced dishes. While we came away with a number of recipes the most valuable thing for me was learning how to ‘build’ a dish and understanding which spices to use and the timing of their introduction . That way we had a foundation to adapt our own dishes.

Incredible experience! - Doing a cooking class in Dehli was hands down our best experience in India. We learned so much about the spices, traditional cooking methods, and daily eating in India. We would highly recommend this to anyone who loves food and wants a truly unique travel experience. Thank you so much!

Fun, informative and delicious! - Prenja (I'm sure my spelling is wrong) made it easy to prepare 5 Indian dishes, each really delicious. I did the cooking, she guided me throughout. The classroom was cheerful, clean and well equipped. Her teaching was the standout. Our market tour was great fun - you may want to linger. I was the only student who signed up that day. Class could have been cancelled, but no, I had a private lesson!
I received the recipes we made and more within a week of the class, as promised.
I took a tuk-tuk there, but the driver got me near, not there. I asked directions several times...arrive early. Tastesutra is immediately across from the metro line

Superb experience for us girls - Our chef was fantastic, very easy to speak with, extremely knowledgeable, the class went at a nice steady pace and I felt like I was learning the whole time - I took two pages’ of notes which I needn’t have because they have emailed me the recipes any who.
It really was a fun, vibrant and educational morning out with a trip to the market afterwards to buy spices, now we understood what they were for!
Indian cuisine is superb and don’t miss an opportunity to learn more about how they have so much delicious variety in their diet. Tastesutra was a highlight of New Delhi trip - snuck out of my conference for a few hours to do it. Worth it!

Cooking and market visit - We had a wonderful day at Tastesutra. We started with an introduction and education on spices and cooking with lots of tips on home cooking. We then prepared and ate a delicious meal and were given insights into how local families eat and prepare food day
to day. Finally we toured the local market. As this is not a tourist market it allowed us to see local life including understanding the street food on offer and buying our own spices. A really interesting fun and well thought out day.
