Vegetarian home cooking in Mumbai with locals

"I recently took this cooking class and loved it. I wanted an authentic look at Indian home cooking, and that’s exactly what I got. I had thought Indian cuisine would be challenging, but it was actually very manageable. Shilpa also shared great insights into the culture and little details of home cooking, and it was very fun to discuss the differences to and similarities to my home cuisine. I also enjoyed that the recipes can be tweaked to be vegan friendly! Highly recommend this class!"

"I had such a memorable experience with Shilpa. I learnt so much in only a few hours! The
traditional food we made was perfect - delicious and health"

"i really enjoyed spending time at Shilpa’s home. the recipes were simple and delicious. i
liked making the parathas and rotis."

"Very informative and a great class! The recipes I learned have been staples in my house since the class. I got to meet her family and sat with her daughter for a long time talking about recipes and learning new tricks. I would absolutely do another class, her food was really amazing!"

"Thank you very much for our cooking experience today.
I enjoyed learning from you and Andrew and Federico certainly now appreciate real Indian cuisine.
I’ll let the rest of the team who are coming back know about your wonderful hospitality and culinary skills.

"Shilpa was so welcoming made you feel like part of her family The food was beautiful so tasty the trip to the market was great would highly recommend this for anyone one wanting traditional Indian family experience"

"We had a fantastic time with Shilpa on our vegan cooking class. Shilpa was extremely genuine, enthusiastic and patient as she showed us around her kitchen and local neighbourhood market. She showed us the best ingredients and helped us identify spices and produce. For our meal, we made a delicious dahl, aloo sabji, tofu/paneer sabji and rotis as well as paratha. Shilpa ensured we understood every step of the process before moving on, and also gave us print outs of the recipes to annotate as we went. We learnt a lot about cooking in general as well as short cuts for busy households, like ours. We very much enjoyed our time with Shilpa and will definitely enroll in another cooking class with her when we are next in Mumbai"

"Delicious food with recipes and a knowledgeable teacher. We've made the palak paneer and aloo ki sabzi several times now. Shilpa explained everything, was available for questions, and followed up to ensure we enjoyed our food. The only downfall was the Zoom video limit was about 45 minutes, which made everything feel faster than anticipated. I would recommend taking Shilpa's class."

"Shilpa is very nice and eager to share her skills. The class was very fast paced and I wasn’t able to keep up completely. We made three dishes in 40 minutes. Measurements for the main dish were not quite right. I appreciate that Shilpa made herself available for questions after the class."

"Shilpa showed me how to cook three delicious dishes which we really enjoyed eating. The depth of flavour was very authentic. We have visited India many times, and it was lovely to have food which reminded us of the best we have eaten there. I have been interested in Indian cuisine for many years, and am pleased to have three more dishes in my repertoire, and I also learnt more about frying spices and using chillies, as well as making a start on how to make flat bread. Shilpa was very helpful, and I definitely recommend her class."

"My partner and I loved our experience cooking with Shilpa in her home, it truly was a great way to experience authentic India and meet locals, through a trip to the market where she explained many types of foods and then, we cooked a fabulous Vegan feast in her kitchen. It was so delicious and fun. We stayed well beyond the class taking and enjoying some of her friend’s fresh Kombucha after dinner. We left feeling like we had some new friends in Mumbai. I would recommend this experience to anyone. Even if you’re not vegan/vegetarian- it was so rich and flavorful you’ll be extremely satisfied. "

"Overall my experience was really great. Shilpa and her husband were really welcoming and we had some great interactions. The food was really amazing and Shilpa seemed really dedicated at showing off Indian Punjabi food"

"Fantastic experience!"

"Great experience. Host was very friendly hospital and capable. The food course was very instructive and we'll surely continue the experience at home."
