Summary: We attended an Indian cooking class at the Sita Cultural Centre in Pondicherry, and it was a fantastic experience. Our group of four had a private session where we began by planning the menu: chicken biryani, dal fry, and carrot halwa. Our wonderful guide, Manisha, then took us to the local market, where she introduced us to the vendors, selected the vegetables, and explained the various lentils and spices as we gathered our ingredients. After returning to the cultural centre by auto (tuk tuk), we began preparing the vegetables and cooking. It wasn't a formal training session, but rather an incredible, hands-on introduction to Indian cuisine and flavors. Manisha walked us through the spices and showed us how to recreate the dishes at home. The three hours flew by, and the meal was absolutely delicious. We highly recommend this class for anyone looking for a fun, authentic cooking experience in India!

Summary: We have done cooking classes before and they have all been good and the chef at each has been personable and taken time to talk about the dishes we are preparing. Manisha was very easy to talk to and a talented chef and, under her expert tutelage we cooked a very tasty meal. In the past we had always been sent recipes and this time was no exception. What was exceptional was the background information contained and the clear detailed recipes. For anyone interested in cooking Indian dishes this is a must do.

Summary: We had a great morning with Manisha on the Indian Cookery course. Trip to the market to start with and then cooking and eating. I recommend doing the fish curry. It was delicious. Interesting, right pace, lovely food and Manisha was a great host.

Summary: A lovely way of spending a couple of hours. Great cooking and chat with Manisha, such a lovely lady. Never thought a salad with such basic ingredients could look and taste so good, and as for the prawns in coconut as the main……….

Summary: Manisha Ray took the four of us to the market after we decided which Southern Indian foods we wanted to prepare. The market was filled with so many fruits vegetables, fish, chicken, cookware and more. It was fun picking out our ingredients. Back at the cultural center we worked together to create a delicious meal which we ate on banana leaves in the garden courtyard. Manisha is a talented and fun teacher. I highly recommend this class.

Summary: Manisha is a great teacher with a good sense of humour. We had an interesting visit to the vibrant market and then a really informative and fun cooking lesson. Learnt many useful tips and lunch tasted great!

Summary: Great teacher, grrat sense of humour. Trip to market then made a mix of dishes for lunch. An excellent insight into Indian spiced. A must do!
