It was very expensive for what it was. We booked the market visit and cooking class. I thought we would be cooking but we watched Monica cook. The food was fresh and very well prepared and Monica explained everything very well. We paid for transport to and from the spice market and our driver was asked to drive there and back. It wasn't a spice market it was a chemist and newsagents selling spices at the back of the shop. Monica bought some spices she didn't use and said she was a spice merchant so it was just for show. Monica bought some vegetables at a vegetable cart on the side of the road and then we returned home. Not quite a vegetable and spice market experience. The cooking class lasted the correct time and there was plenty of food. I bought alcohol with the experience but was not aware that this was one drink per person. We were only made aware of this at the end when she gave us a bill. I paid $20 for the alcohol and we were charged 350 Rupees per drink when I believed I had already paid. $220 plus 2,000 Rupees is far too expensive for this trip!!!!

Had no idea what to expect but we had been previously asked about allergies and likes and dislikes so we would not be confronted with food we really disliked. We were give a drink on arrival and shown to the kitchen were our host made chapatis and then we had a go. Geat fun. We also made 2 other dishes before we sat down and had a delicious meal with lots of dishes made previously. Great experience. We arranged our own taxi there and back.
