• 5/5 from Stephanie Wright, attended Feb 2026: This wasn't just a class, it was an *experience*!! If you have ever hesitated to create Indian cuisine because it felt too complicated, this is the class for you! This afternoon with Anu was like having your cool aunty tell you all the shortcuts and hacks to eat delicious Indian food, that is SO easy to make again! The way the menu is designed you get to try a bunch of different things, and with the small class size everyone is hands on, and it's just lots of laughs and good vibes, while appreciating there are very quick and easy ways to make restaurant quality food at home! So grateful to Anu for making this so accessible, and for someone like myself that can get overwhelmed in a big class, this was incredible! You won't regret it!

• 5/5 from Cathy Rolfe, attended Oct 2025: Wonderful session! A great group of people and all facilitated by the warmth and expertise of our host Anu. It was such an amazing menu that we cooked too - delicious masala dosa with two scrumptious chutneys, and idli cooked several ways. Anu was wonderful at instructing and including each of us in the process of preparing and cooking the meal and this was all interspersed with wonderful stories and highlights from her life back in India. And then we all sat together and ate what we had prepared enjoying Anu's beautiful hospitality. If you want to build Indian cooking skill or gain insight to Indian ingredients and cooking techniques - and experience this in a warm and welcoming context - I highly recommend this cooking class with Anu.

She phoned a week before to discuss the menu choices, asked if there was something particular we wanted to cook and offered several options to choose from. Anu’s kitchen was bright and welcoming, plenty of space for us to work at the prep and cooking and to enjoy the lovely meal we cooked, with a glass of champagne! Very nice! Anu gave us recipe cards to take home, she gave good advice on different spices, types of lentils, various condiments and garnishes to serve with the different dishes and where to buy ingredients. We enjoyed the class and felt it was good value, we learned something interesting and met nice people. We had some of our good food to take home as well!

She truly showcased all that Indian food has so much to offer, (even being totally veg), and that it is completely achievable even by those who fear the kitchen more than life itself! Please let yourself indulge in this class, your palette will thank you endlessly!
