Overview

With the help of your cooking instructor Monisha Bharadwaj, an award winning author of 17 books, professional chef (Iron Chef America judge) and teacher (Recognised Culinary Educator 2025 and 2026, UK) you will discover the unique flavours of Indian cooking while learning about the history of how Indian food came to be so popular in the UK.
As part of this class, you will visit a local Indian food shop to learn how to choose the best exotic ingredients and cook 4 typical dishes as part of a group, in our welcoming home kitchen. You will enjoy visiting a vibrant, multicultural neighbourhood of London that is not usually frequented by tourists.

The class is also an ideal activity during a layover at Heathrow or if you are staying at a hotel near Heathrow and want to do something fun locally. We are just 3 stops from Heathrow airport on the tube. Vegetarians are welcome, please let us know of any dietary restrictions.

You will be met at Hounslow West Underground station and taken to the local Indian shop to learn how to buy the ingredients that we will use in the cooking class. We will then walk to the Cooking With Monisha kitchen, a 5 minute walk away (no steps) to begin the class. You will be offered Masala Chai as we talk through how to put together an Indian meal. We will then cook our meal to include Pulao Rice, a curry (chicken or chickpea), a smoked cumin raita (a dish made with salad vegetables and yoghurt) and a vegetable side dish. We will cook as a group but there will be lots of hands on activity as we want our guests to do the cooking! We will eat what we cook at the end. We will provide recipe sheets and ingredients.
