Overview

Learn to make traditional South Indian dishes with your host, a home cook who has been cooking throughout her life. A great opportunity for you to meet a local in their home and learn all about the ingredients, cooking techniques and traditions associated with Indian cooking. You will get a sneak peak into their lives and hear wonderful stories of Jemima growing up in South India and how she learned to cook from her mother. If you're craving Indian food, this is the best place to try an authentic, home-cooked meal, made using traditional ingredients and cooking techniques. By the end of this experience you will not only have knowledge about Indian food and traditions, but you'll have learnt to make a few dishes yourself, that you can re-create back home!

Join Jemima, and her husband and children, when they are home, for a home-cooked South Indian cooking class and meal experience. Jemima lives in a family home on the outskirts of London (London Zone 6) in Orpington, a quiet suburb of London with professional working families. In your cooking class learn to make traditional South Indian dishes with Jemima, who has been cooking throughout her life. You might learn to make dishes like a traditional tomato or coconut chutney, a meat or vegetable curry dish, and as well as dosas or idlis.

After your cooking class, you will enjoy the meal you helped prepare. Your menu might include South Indian staples such as dosas (Indian crepe-like pancakes made from fermented lentil and rice batter) and a variety of meat and vegetable curries, served at their kitchen dining table. In the summer, enjoy your meal on their back patio. Please note that your host will be serving you and happy to chat as you are eating but won’t eat with you - so she can make sure you get your dosas piping hot!

Jemima and Aaron were amazing hosts, it was lovely to get to know them and hear their stories. We learnt so much about Indian food and the ingredients they used. In addition to the food Jemima cooked with us, she and her husband had prepared many different dishes for us to try. They adapted everything to our taste and we discovered a new type of food that we will definitely cook again. It was delicious, we had a lovely time, thank you Aaron and Jemima!

Great experience and a delicious dinner. Maybe more of a cooking demonstration than an actual class but I got a lot of cooking tips and really enjoyed chatting with Jemima and her husband about cooking, food culture and other things. A well spent evening that I can certainly recommend for those interested in Indian cooking or even just for the experience to visit a home and talk to friendly, easy-going locals! It's a little outside central London but easy to get to by local train.

Would recommend to couples and small groups that are keen to try a range of dishes and to understand how and why the ingredients are paired. Hosts were knowledgeable and friendly.

Talking with Jemima in her kitchen as she explained what she was doing, the spices she was using, and the equipment. It was great to see the cooking in the context of her home and family. We also loved speaking to her and her husband about family and culture. Also, we enjoyed eating the delicious food! It was a feast.
