“The course was brilliant. I really enjoyed every part of it, particularly how to make the dessert. The pace was slow enough that I could follow but fast enough to keep me busy! Surinder and Safia were asbolutely EXCELLENT! Very clear. You’re both so lovely! I’ll definitely recommend it to other people! I’m inspired!”
Helen Nicholson, ‘The Indian Experience’ cookery workshop participant (January 2016)
” Good number of people allowed for more personal tuition. My favourite part was learning to make the base mix. The tutors knowledge was excellent, very personable and helpful. At no point was I left wondering what to do. The venue was excellent – felt very homely. It was nice to eat what we’d cooked for lunch. The course content and pace were excellent.”
