Our cookery classes are private, one-to-one classes and are available from Wednesday - Sunday mornings and afternoons in your own home. All classes are very much hands-on (i.e. not demonstrations) and individually tailored to suit whatever level of cooking you are comfortable with.
All classes include a discussion on spices & cooking, all ingredients, equipment, recipes for all dishes (including a recipe pack for you to keep) and you also keep the food that you have cooked!
The main areas we cover include: Surrey, West and South West London, Central London, Middlesex, Hampshire, Kent, and West Sussex. Even if you are outside of these areas, please do contact us to see if The Little Indian Kitchen can come to your home.
We also do gift vouchers which are valid for three months and seasonal promotions are available throughout the year.
