Vegetarian Home Cooking Class in Mumbai with Locals

Shilpa is a wonderful host and this activity provides a truly unique opportunity to learn to cook in her beautiful home. I felt welcome right from the start and learned a lot about Indian spices, dishes, and cooking techniques. The food was delicious too!

Excellent experience with Shilpa, both in the kitchen and at the market. I highly recommend this South Indian vegetarian cooking class.

We had an amazing experience!! We learned about a lot of north Indian dishes and got to see how the different ingredients were used at different times. We also got to taste all the final dishes we made and had a very very good meal!

Shilpa was a fantastic host, chef and teacher. We’ve had a wonderful couple of hours spent frying, rolling and eating authentic dishes. Thank you for making our stay in Mumbai so unique. We will definitely recommend your cooking class to our colleagues!

Fantastic afternoon cooking delicious home style Indian classics. Shilpa hosted us in her lovely home in central Mumbai and taught us a lot about the cooking methods and ingredients used in making the dishes. We were able to make a small feast to enjoy after the cooking. Would highly recommend this experience!

We spent a fantastic couple of hours with the lovely Shilpa who taught us how to make authentic, delicious homemade dishes in the comfort of her apartment. We will definitely recommend you attend to try something unique and memorable during your time in Mumbai!

Shilpa taught us how to cook Paneer Makhni, Dhal, Aloo ki Sabzi & Parathas. We went to the market and could buy all the spices to take home to Switzerland. Thanks for your hospitality, we really appreciated it!

Shilpa was a delightful teacher! She helped us learn techniques & how to cook authentic North Indian dishes. We had a blast & would recommend her again. She’s also so funny.

Shilpa is knowledgeable, friendly, and a wonderful teacher. She answered all of my questions and gave clear directions. Next time I come to the city, I look forward to bringing my daughter to learn from her as well. Thank you, Shilpa!!

I was able to learn cooking easily. It was a wonderful time and I was glad to be able to participate with my children. All the dishes were delicious.

Learned the basics of Indian cuisine with a wonderful host. The food tasted excellent. Also went to the store with Shilpa and while spending time with her learned a lot about India’s daily life also! Happy to have met her!

We learned a lot of amazing recipes & techniques from Shilpa today. It was amazing to get an insight of what traditional Indian cuisine is really like. We used only super fresh ingredients and all the dishes were 100% plant-based. We’re so happy to try out everything we learned today at home (plus all the other recipes she shared with us). Thank you for your kindness and hospitality, we’ll tell our friends to contact you!

Shilpa was a wonderful teacher who took us through making paneer makhani, spiced potatoes, yellow dal and 2 kinds of flat bread. She took us on a quick trip to her local grocery and explained about vegetables, spices, oils, tea, rice and other staples. she walked us through making the dishes and lunch was delicious. She finished with sharing recipes and other helpful info. A very memorable experience and nice change from downtown Mumbai.

The private cooking class with Shilpa was incredible. She will not only teach you how to navigate a market or grocery store, but will walk you through making several classic Indian dishes. The food was absolutely delicious -- much better in quality, freshness, and complexity compared to the restaurants we had been going to. I can't wait to try making paratha and that amazing deal at home. Highly recommend this class if you don't want to just look at buildings and get a cultural experience.

Great experience for me and my foodie friends. Market visit was informative and cooking was great. Thank you Shilpa!

I recently took this cooking class and loved it. I wanted an authentic look at Indian home cooking, and that’s exactly what I got. I had thought Indian cuisine would be challenging, but it was actually very manageable. Shilpa also shared great insights into the culture and little details of home cooking, and it was very fun to discuss the differences to and similarities to my home cuisine. I also enjoyed that the recipes can be tweaked to be vegan friendly! Highly recommend this class!

I had such a memorable experience with Shilpa. I learnt so much in only a few hours! The traditional food we made was perfect - delicious and health

i really enjoyed spending time at Shilpa’s home. the recipes were simple and delicious. i liked making the parathas and rotis.

Very informative and a great class! The recipes I learned have been staples in my house since the class. I got to meet her family and sat with her daughter for a long time talking about recipes and learning new tricks. I would absolutely do another class, her food was really amazing!

Thank you very much for our cooking experience today. I enjoyed learning from you and Andrew and Federico certainly now appreciate real Indian cuisine. I’ll let the rest of the team who are coming back know about your wonderful hospitality and culinary skills.

Shilpa was so welcoming made you feel like part of her family The food was beautiful so tasty the trip to the market was great would highly recommend this for anyone one wanting traditional Indian family experience

We had a fantastic time with Shilpa on our vegan cooking class. Shilpa was extremely genuine, enthusiastic and patient as she showed us around her kitchen and local neighbourhood market. She showed us the best ingredients and helped us identify spices and produce. For our meal, we made a delicious dahl, aloo sabji, tofu/paneer sabji and rotis as well as paratha. Shilpa ensured we understood every step of the process before moving on, and also gave us print outs of the recipes to annotate as we went. We learnt a lot about cooking in general as well as short cuts for busy households, like ours. We very much enjoyed our time with Shilpa and will definitely enroll in another cooking class with her when we are next in Mumbai

My partner and I loved our experience cooking with Shilpa in her home, it truly was a great way to experience authentic India and meet locals, through a trip to the market where she explained many types of foods and then, we cooked a fabulous Vegan feast in her kitchen. It was so delicious and fun. We stayed well beyond the class taking and enjoying some of her friend’s fresh Kombucha after dinner. We left feeling like we had some new friends in Mumbai. I would recommend this experience to anyone. Even if you’re not vegan/vegetarian- it was so rich and flavorful you’ll be extremely satisfied.

Overall my experience was really great. Shilpa and her husband were really welcoming and we had some great interactions. The food was really amazing and Shilpa seemed really dedicated at showing off Indian Punjabi food
