We’ll give you an introduction to the fundamentals of getting to know your spices and learning how to blend spices – so you have a complete understanding of the use of spices and the essence of Indian cooking. You’ll still get to walk away with the wholesome, delicious food you have made at the end of the day.

This cookery class is a real hands-on experience for those of you who want to get down to some spice blending and understanding the essence of Indian food.

  • Black pepper and garlic spice blend – a mixture of ground black pepper and minced garlic used to season various dishes, including fish and tofu masala.
  • Bombay potatoes – a popular Indian side dish made with boiled and cubed potatoes cooked in a blend of spices.
  • Masala chicken curry – a popular Indian dish made with chicken cooked in a spiced sauce.
  • Chana masala curry – a vegetarian alternative to masala chicken curry made with chickpeas cooked in a spiced sauce.

Most of our Indian classes are suitable for vegetarians, vegans and those with gluten intolerance.

The key difference to our classes is the focus on spices; you don’t just learn how to but also why and when to use spices. The full hands on experience enables you to use all your senses to discover your pallet and learn how to make a difference in taste. It’s fast, furious and fun! Just bring along your enthusiasm and a stomach for lots of food.

We also offer one to one and private classes which can be tailored to exact requirements. We will provide everything from the ingredients to the equipment and chef. Contact us directly to discuss a private class.

Half day Indian – Asha Pattni

“I loved the class and the dishes we made. I don’t why I had such fixed ideas about Indian food – I’ve been stuck in a rut. It’s been refreshing to see how others cook and make it easy as well. My family loved all the dishes as well. Thank you again.”

Half day Indian – Ian Davies

I used Kumud’s recipes from the day for a family birthday celebration meal for 8 people and they went down very well!!!  I don’t think I would have had the confidence to have attempted anything on that scale without having attended the course.

Half day Indian – Richard Booth

“The Indian cookery class was pitched at just the right level. The tutor was excellent and she delivered the class at a good pace whilst still answering all of our questions. It was an excellent morning – a great environment and good to be in a small group”

Half day Indian Class – Paul and Steve Wilson

“My son and I attended the Indian cookery class up at The Cooking Academy. The class surpassed my expectation – the atmosphere and spirit was highly motivating and the chef just seemed to be a complete foodie. I would highly recommend this cookery school to anyone who really wants to learn to cook.”

Faqs (16)

I am allergic to certain foods/ I have a special dietary requirement. Will this cause a problem?

We try our best to accommodate for special dietary requirements. Please notify us of your dietary requirements within 24 hours of booking.

It is the customer’s responsibility to inform us of any dietary requirements at the time of booking for your health and well being.

I am an experienced cook, are all the courses suitable for me?

All courses are suitable for all levels as the classes are based more specifically on the cuisine rather than skill. The Chef will ensure that you have the assistance required to enjoy the day and really develop your cooking skills. If you are an experienced cook, you may particularly enjoy our Advanced classes. Please contact us if you would like further guidance.

I can’t handle spicy food; will your classes be too hot for me?

In our cookery classes, you get to make your own food to suit your own palate, so although we provide guidelines, you can adapt each recipe to suit your taste, as spicy or as not spicy as you’d like.

I’m a complete beginner, what class should I do?

Our cookery classes are not based on skill as such; they are all hands on and taught by an expert chef who can lead you through the cooking processes so even a beginner should be fine on our classes. However, if you want to start at the very beginning, and develop an understanding of food hygiene, knife skills and safety in the kitchen, our beginner’s cookery class would be the one for you.

I’m gluten intolerant, what classes can I attend?

Our Indian, Thai, and Nutritional classes can be easily altered and tailored to suit a gluten free diet. Please just ensure you make us aware of this at the time of booking.

If I purchase this cookery class voucher can the recipient exchange it for another class of their preference?

Yes, vouchers can be exchange for other classes, if there is a short-fall in the value, they can pay the difference.

Alternatively, you can purchase an open voucher that can be redeemed against any class of the equivalent value.

Is lunch provided in this class?

Yes, lunch is provided (and cooked by you!). If you have any special dietary requirement please make those known to us at the time of your booking.

Is there anything I need to bring to the class?

Yes, you will need to bring some Tupperware/plastic containers (quantity will be specified in your booking confirmation letter sent via email) with you to take home some of the delicious recipes you will cook on the day. This will also be highlighted in your booking confirmation letter. Everything else, including an apron will be provided.

What is the minimum age to attend a class?
