“Fantastic class – the Mughal Emperors’ Feast run by Kumud. She narrated the health benefits and origins of each dish, and everything was organised brilliantly. A joy! We each had our own cooking station too. Highly recommended.”

“I’ve got your packets of spices when I attended a class and, gosh- does it make a difference when I cook with them! I can’t believe the level of flavours that penetrate whatever I’m cooking whether it chicken lamb or vegetables. I definitely won’t be buying the supermarket stuff again.”

“Fabulous day cooking Malaysian food with Sarah Leary at The cooking Academy. It was very informative, friendly and thoroughly enjoyable., small groups means we got so much attention from sarah, and we cooked so many dishes, I loved the fact that we didn’t have to share dishes with other people , we made our own dishes which we can take home . Will definitely come again for another course!”

“I attended the one day Malaysian cooking class with expert chef Sarah Leary at The cooking Academy. It was. Fantastic, informative and entirely hands on class learning about the spices and breadth of Malaysian cuisine. Sarah was a knowledgeable instructor, whose clear instructions and tips and tricks along the way meant that I got so much more out of this class than just a new set of recipes to try. Thank you so much! “

*“We absolutely loved our private cookery class – the setting was beautiful, and Sarah, the chef, made the day really special, taking time with all of us. We also took home the masala chai and turmeric latte, which have been really tasty.

Thanks for helping us to organise the day and making it so easy to come to life.

Couldn’t recommend it enough!”*

“Dear Kumud,
I just wanted to thank you so much for a fantastic day yesterday.
Jane,Sharron and I really enjoyed your course.It was so interesting and so much fun.
I know we are all three excited to try out lots of new recipes and new techniques.
We hope to see you again and continue our journey. Thank you for the inspiration.
Kind Regards,”

“Thank you so so much for the most amazing day! I learned so much and literally breathtaking food. My partner absolutely flipped over the food.  He couldn’t believe we made it all.  The naan is fantastic too. Your love of teaching people how to achieve these flavours is lovely, I love your patience and stories that go with the recipes …… Thanks again so much, I look forward to the next time.”

“Thanks for a wonderful cookery team build experience last Thursday, it was the perfect send off for Sven and everyone’s feedback was astoundingly positive.  The night had a wonderful flow and it was a very unique experience for our group.”(CHRIS RIDGEWAY – TUDOR UK)
