Recent reviews of Authentic Indian Cooking Class

• 5/5 from Hannah Louise Clarke, attended Mar 2026: Lovely experience, Chef Steve is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate, although my one piece of constructive feedback would be for him to wear a lapel microphone! The food was absolutely delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing.
• 5/5 from Liz Barker, attended Mar 2026: Steve was very knowledgeable about Indian cuisine. The lesson was interesting, well paced and well presented (not forgetting delicious!). I may never buy take away again!! Would do another of his classes.
• 5/5 from Amanda Hannant, attended Jan 2026: Steve was absolutely brilliant – calm, inclusive, and a joy to learn from. His knowledge is impressive, but it’s his easy, engaging style that really makes the class shine. We cooked a beautiful butter chicken with perfectly fluffy rice, plus a divine salad, raita, and poppadoms (yes, dreams do come true). A truly fabulous class, made even better by sitting down to eat our curry with a well-earned sense of achievement. Highly recommended – we loved it and will definitely be booking again with Chef Steve.

• 5/5 from Mike Clements, attended Nov 2025: Steve was an excellent tutor and knew his history of the spices as well as the cooking processes of the various part of the dish.. This was a gift from my son in USA and with the wonders of technology, despite the miles between us, all went very smoothly when the one of participants had to be changed. The end product was excellent. Everything about the morning was enjoyed by myself and my grandaughter. Thank you Steve.

• 5/5 from Meg Curley, attended Oct 2025: A wonderful experience! Steve was a great host - well prepared, friendly and informative. Not only did we learn to cook a great meal (butter chicken/paneer, pilau rice, salad, raita and flame grilled popadum), Steve shared great stories on the Indian culture and the history behind the popular meals we eat today. Suitable for anyone new to cooking or experienced cooks wanting to learn more. Thank you for a great session - hope to join another in the future!
• 5/5 from Keith Sutton, attended Oct 2025: Steve was excellent teacher including talking about the history of spices and india back to the days of british rule. Was a fantastic experience and one we'll visit again with Steve on his next Balti Adventure
• 5/5 from Julie Harris, attended Sep 2025: I was looking for something a bit different to celebrate my Big Birthday and after seeing all his 5 star reviews, asked Steve if he could do a version of his Authentic Indian Cookery experience for a private party. Right from the outset I was impressed by Steve's prompt and friendly communication. Steve was very flexible finding the perfect venue for us, and was easily able to accommodate the 3 veggies amongst us (butter paneer is now my favourite dish - who knew!). On the day, all 13 of us had our own workstation already laid out for us, with all the equipment we needed and the ingredients measured out in containers. Steve took us through the cooking instructions one step at a time, which ensured nobody got left behind - pretty impressive when you consider the wide range of cooking experience amongst the 13 of us! Steve circulated round the kitchen to offer encouragement and advice - he even gave out his version of a 'Hollywood handshake'! By the end of the session we had each produced a main course, basmati rice and salad that you'd e happy to get from your favourite takeaway - which we promptly sat down to eat together. Steve even sent us the recipes and instructions so we can recreate the taste at home. From the initial contact through to eating the results of our efforts, Steve was friendly and professional. We learned a lot and had a lot of fun too! Steve's enthusiasm for cooking is infectious. Would definitely book again, and highly recommend if you're looking for a party with a difference!! Thanks Steve for making my big birthday so memorable!

• 5/5 from Melanie Bosco, attended Sep 2025: Loved this experience. This was my present from my daughter. Nice warm welcome with a hot drink. Plenty of explanation of what we will be cooking. The class was a good pace and class size not too big. The instructor was approachable and very knowledgeable. He kept checking our progress to see if we were all at the same levels. Making the curry, rice and salad was good fun lots of tips on the way. We stayed at the end to eat our food and it didn’t disappoint. Thank you for a good morning cooking and thank you to your assistant who made sure we all were okay. Will look into doing another class.
