Your host
A passionate cook connecting cultures with food.
Serving real Indian feasts with stories.
On a mission to teach people that there is more to Indian food than Butter chicken and Rogan Josh. My love for food is infused with storytelling and memories so you can understand and appreciate where the ingredients came from and how easy it is to whip up a 6-7 course Indian meal any day of the week.

Andrew Bartlett • Jan 2021
A fantastic, informative, professional, fun experience that I definitely want to do again. Whether for a solo experience, with a friend or a group, this class is a must! The food was absolutely the best I have eaten in my long love affair with Indian food & I already feel empowered & confident that I can replicate it at home. Bhavna is a culinary magician & one of the nicest people I have met. Her knowledge of Indian history & the origins of the ingredients enhances the cooking experience. This was the best Christmas present I have received in a long time. An awesome gift idea & a lovely date day with my husband. I highly recommend this class.
Daniel Esz • Nov 2020
This class was fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and can't wait to start utilising my new skills in my everyday cooking at home. Highly recommend this class. The modern desi made my partner and I feel completely comfortable and at home. The food was amazing and plentiful
Emily Hannah • Feb 2020
Mu husband and I had a brilliant night and thoroughly enjoyed our experience.
We prepared and cooked a 5 course meal instructed by Bhavna in her home. The food was delicious and we even got to take it home to enjoy also.
She also prepared step by step instructions and recipes for us to take home so we could prepare these meals again. Bhavna was kind, patient, had a wonderful vibrant personality and was a wealth of knowledge in Indian cooking and culture. We would highly recommend this to anyone who is keen on doing an Indian cooking class.
