We teach you the way our mothers taught us!
The Pure Punjabi Cookery School
The Pure Punjabi cookery school teaches the cookery of the first generation of North Indians coming to Britain two generations ago, and preserves, promotes, and teaches the traditional culinary ways.
The workshops are fully hands-on and run by mother-daughter team, Surinder and Safia. They pass on the culinary heritage of their Punjabi family, using the same methods their mothers and grandmothers used to teach them. Both started their culinary ‘training’ at the age of 7-8 years and by the age of 11 Surinder was preparing the traditional family meals, after returning from school.
- Small group of maximum 6 people,(reduced to 4 household bubbles during Covid-19).
- Hands-on workshops – You make everything yourself.
- No shared cookery
- No demonstrations only.
- Take home everything you make
Workshops are held in Downton, SP5 3PJ, (6 miles south of Salisbury), on the edge of the New Forest, between Bournemouth, Southampton & Salisbury.

GIFTING!
We’d been thinking of how to help our customers and anyone interested in attending our award-winning ‘Indian Experience’ cookery workshop book with confidence …Our Indian Experience Cookery Workshop Options GIFT CARD is THE answer and has been very well received as a safe way to book our flagship workshop!
It’s our Covid-19 flexible options gift card and the answer to the dilemma of purchasing live experience gifts with confidence, in an increasingly uncertain situation.
Now it’s easy for anyone who really wants to give the gift of our Indian Experience workshop, but is concerned about future restrictions for events.
None of us know what is going to happen and how long the social isolation, restrictions or regional lock downs will continue, and which events we will be able to attend in 2021.
This gift card is valid for The Indian Experience workshop only, in both a full price and a part-payment option. The recipient has the option to make the decision to transfer their workshop gift to our Indian meal kits business for a 12 month Indian Meal kit Box subscription for the £189 workshop gift card.
That means that if staying in and cooking remains the necessity and live events remain restricted, then recipients can have the option to have deliveries of delicious non-perishable meal kits.
This allows gift purchasers the safe option to provide their recipient with a back-up gift of a store cupboard of delicious, non-perishable Indian meal kits, should we go further into lockdown and they or their recipient prefer not to venture out and attend the workshop.
