Srividya was very friendly and attentive. She explained in detail every step of her preparation. She only used fresh, homemade products. The meal that followed was a very appreciated moment of sharing with her and his son.Thank you.

Booked last minute but Jyashree was so accommodating. The hospitality shown by herself and very clever family was lovely. Picked up from hotel by Ravi, her husband, and taken to temple and local market. Then coffee and conversation at her house before demonstrating a Madras curry with coconut rice, dosa and a tomato and onion chutney. You must also try her Inji Puli, a very gingery and spicy chutney. I took some home (wrap it up well or it will leak from the jar) and devoured it in 2 days. Then came a lunch made with all different kinds of Indian vegetarian dishes. More food than you could ever wish to eat. All in all a lovely day out meeting her and her family. A very personal experience. Nanri

Sundari and her husband are incredibly welcoming and accommodating hosts. We really enjoyed spending time in their home getting to know them and learning to cook South Indian dishes. Sundari has an obvious passion for all kinds of cooking, and the food we/she prepared was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended for all visitors, and I would love to come back to learn to cook more dishes!

Visited Sundari for the lunch cooking class. She is such a welcoming person and from the minute we arrived had us relaxed and laughing with her. The food was the best we have had in Southern India, tadka Dahl and vegetable Korma which we had requested to learn to cook. She also showed us how to make some of the different breads which was so interesting. It was a lot of fun and we will definitely be back. Thank you so much Sundari and thanks to Kris for taking us to the market.

Ein wunderbares Erlebnis mit Sundari. Sehr gut vorbereitet, eine sehr herzliche Begrüßung in ihrem eigenen Heim. Wir haben uns alle sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Erklärungen waren alle sehr gut und die Speisen sehr gut nachzukochen. Ein Genuß für jeden Liebhaber des indischen Essens. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder für weitere tolle Rezepte. Vielen Dank. LH Crew.
