No more take a ways
Excellent course that surpassed my expectations on all levels. It has provided me with a good understanding of spices and Indian cooking techniques and lifted my confidence level so that future dining will be a guarantee of flavour and taste and not a hit and miss experience that rarely created similar dishes from a common recipe. A short but well delivered course.

Surpasses my local go to Friday night curry restaurant I'm so pleased with the outcome and the tuition, Pooja is an excellent patient teacher who knows her stuff and taught me to make a proper Indian meal, after years of trying and failing at home.

Excellent Day
Great time for both of us - one a foodie and me as a novice. The spice introduction was very informative, and then all the practicals were very well taught: explanation, demonstration, imitation and practice. Learned a lot and had a great time; thanks Cooking Academy!
