"Shilpa showed me how to cook three delicious dishes which we really enjoyed eating. The depth of flavour was very authentic. We have visited India many times, and it was lovely to have food which reminded us of the best we have eaten there. I have been interested in Indian cuisine for many years, and am pleased to have three more dishes in my repertoire, and I also learnt more about frying spices and using chillies, as well as making a start on how to make flat bread. Shilpa was very helpful, and I definitely recommend her class."
