Meet Nikita…

who will be leading the yoga session

A native instructor and educator who is making waves – on an international level- for sharing the richness of yoga, Indian culture and Hinduism in the most authentic way possible.

She has caused major ‘head turns’ on TikTok and Instagram for addressing how so many of the cultural elements have been stripped away from Yoga in the West, causing it to be (often unknowingly) t.o.t.a.l.l.y misrepresented and often making any potential participant feel that they need major athletic prowess in order to take part – which couldn’t be further from the truth.

Many of her followers who are of Indian origin (us included) have thanked Nikita for highlighting the huge disparity between what we have grown up seeing and calling Yoga, versus what we see taught in gyms and studios across the country. Many of her followers who are not of Indian origin have equally thanked her for making them aware of an important issue that they weren’t even aware that they had unwittingly perpetuated and it has sparked a desire to learn more.

In bravely challening how Yoga is recognised (and unfortunately misrepresented) in the West, she was featured in both The Times and The Guardian this December, as a voice bringing the true message of Yoga – as we grew up knowing it as women of Indian origin.

What will be happening:

A mini snack on arrival (in accordance with yogic practice)
To fuel your body before the yoga session

Karen Taylor October 2018

We are having such fun cooking from The Spice Pack Collection and all the dishes have come out brilliantly. The smell is divine and Rob, who is very fussy, is particularly impressed. All our visitors are wowed when they smell the box – we’ve been too possessive to share any with others, as yet!

As a natural therapist I particularly appreciate the healthy aspect of each dish, none of which compromise on taste. Good ingredients freshly cooked makes a big difference.

We’re going on holiday with three other couples in a couple of weeks and going to take the pack with us to cook some dishes together.

Maria M / BBQ Meal Kit Box customer

“We had a BBQ for family and friends few weeks ago and we made the Lamb Kebabs & Coconut & Sesame Chutney and Crushed Tikka New Potatoes & Mango Chicken… We received such rave reviews!! All so easy to make with the spices and sauces all provided for us…food was all delicious!”

Chris & Debs - dinner kit with cook-along customer

“That was so fun…

Thank you for the zoom meet up. That was so fun. We will definitely be up for another. Please send another suitable invite and kit. We are predominately veggies so used the butternut squash version. If this continue the local takeaway will suffer for sure. Again thanks”.

“What a wonderful cookalong…

…The Mango Chicken was delicious and my naan bread actually looked amazing – like the real thing. I feel so successful. Thank you. Looking forward to our next cookalong”.

Pam Brown – dinner kit with cook-along customer

“Thank you so much both…

– the class was amazing and we both really enjoyed the food. It makes so much difference knowing exactly how to do things and that we can make such tasty food which is gluten free. Jeera rice has always been my favourite but many restaurants don’t have it on the menu”.

Sylvia M – dinner kit with cook-along customer

“Thank you so much...
... for a great hour of cooking on Saturday evening. I enjoyed it very much as I have never done anything like it before. The Punjabi chicken was delicious and we had enough to freeze for another time”.

Sue W – dinner kit with cook-along customer

“Well that was amazing…
... the best curry I've ever had and Jxx said it was like being in India ( as he’s spent so much time there with work ) loved the class and so did Exxx looking forward to coming to your workshops…
…and will order some more kits from your website”

Roy P…dinner kit with cook-along customer

“Many thanks…
...for the cook–along workshop yesterday. It was very enjoyable and the meal tasted lovely. As someone who is not a confident cook it was ideal to follow your teaching. I have recommended this to a friend of mine who is very interested in joining the next cook–along. I will definitely be doing it again”.

Ellie Pipe

I highly recommend this lovely family run local company…

... We’ve enjoyed 2 of their meal kits now along with an online cook along to show us what to do. Thank you.

Diane McGillivray

I love them all and would highly recommend…

...If I had to choose one it would be the Mango chicken.
