Recent reviews of Indian Cooking Masterclass

  • 5/5 from Brian Corr, attended Feb 2024: Excellent course, fantastic teacher and great venue. Learnt lots and highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Rachel, attended Feb 2024: I bought this experience for myself & family, and what a great experience it was. The teaching was clear, the involvement great and then getting to eat the products of our efforts was the best.
  • 5/5 from Louis Smith, attended Nov 2023: We would highly recommend this course with Monica at the Spice Club. It was a great learning experience and so much fun and we have come away with so many new cooking skills and techniques. The food we prepared was delicious and we will certainly return for another course at some stage. Monica was so welcoming and great at getting everyone engaged and was the perfect host! Really great experience!
  • 5/5 from David Schilling, attended Nov 2023: Another Masterclass, it just gets better! Monica's teaching style resonates with everybody, no matter how inexperienced or experienced you are with cooking indian food. Books will give you a recipe, videos show you how somebody does it, but when you're in the kitchen with Monica you will learn techniques that you need to master the dishes yourself. If you want to really know how to cook indian dishes that exceed your expectations, book a class with Monica because you will only wish you'd done it sooner!
  • 5/5 from Rebecca Watts, attended Oct 2023: We had such a fun and informative night at our Mumbai Street Food Masterclass! Monica was really friendly and made us feel very welcome. The kitchens were extremely clean and food we all made together was delicious!
  • 5/5 from Gemma Chafer, attended Sep 2023: Really enjoyed the whole experience and can not wait to see what is next thank you
  • 5/5 from Peter Maher, attended Sep 2023: Another fantastic class with Monica. The street food dishes were delicious and packed with flavours. The components of the dishes were not difficult to make and I felt could stand alone as a starter or side dish to a main meal. As usual the class and fellow students were fun as we pursued our love of Indian food
  • 5/5 from Dave Schilling, attended Sep 2023: If you love India food, would love to learn how to cook it, with the best teacher you could wish for, look no further! Monicas classes exceed value for money and once you take the step, youll be hooked. I can guarantee you you will learn more in 3 hours than 30 years of reading books and trying yourself. Here you will master the art and whats even better, you get to eat the food afterwards. Thanks again Monica you are a diamond find for any curry lover.
  • 5/5 from Mark Ryndycz, attended Sep 2023: Very friendly and informative
  • 5/5 from Paul Rawbone, attended Sep 2023: It has been one of the best cooking experiences I have had and the teaching by Monica was amazing. Since attending the cookery school I have cooked the dishes 3 times and everyone has been impressed. I can't wait to book onto the next one!
  • 5/5 from Bridge Williams, attended Aug 2023: I absolutely loved the cooking class with Monica and have made the dishes a few times since. It has given me a massive improvement in my skill level having had a face to face lesson and I am looking forward to signing up to the next one.
  • 5/5 from Alicia Hoare, attended Jul 2023: I learned so much and had a great time!
  • 5/5 from David Schilling, attended Jul 2023: This one experience will teach you more than a thousand books. Monica was a fantastic teacher, I have been cooking curries for 40 years and the chicken curry that Monica showed us transcended expectations, in fact it was perhaps the best I have ever tasted. If you are a curry addict, you are definitely missing out should you not attend one of Monica's cooking classes. I will be doing every possible class, because it takes Indian cooking on to a completely different level! Thanks again Monica for teaching me traditional Punjabi cooking.
  • 4/5 from Jo Chapman, attended Jul 2023: The course and tips were really good. However, sharing the preparation with others in the group was something I wasn't expecting. I had hoped that we would have ingredients to practice more on an individual/pair basis after watching Monica. Nevertheless an enjoyable event.
  • 5/5 from Emma Jacobs, attended Mar 2022: The Delhi Street food class was another fantastic experience cooking along with Monica. Everything is explained and demonstrated really well & then you have chance to participate in the food prep. The atmosphere is very friendly & inclusive. I would recommend this with no hesitation!
  • 5/5 from Paul Riley, attended Feb 2022: Monica and her Mum were very warm, welcoming and certainly knew their stuff about Indian food and spices. The kitchen setting was ideal for the seven of us and we all had a go different parts of cooking dishes. The 3 hours was just right for the course including eating the dishes afterwards. The only negative is that normal Indian take away food will not live up to my heightened expectations :-) .
  • 5/5 from Emma Franks, attended Feb 2022: We had such a lovely time doing the class. The setting was beautiful and the kitchen was spacious and clean. Monica was so friendly and approachable, and really passionate about teaching us. She answered all our stupid questions, and gave some really helpful hints. The food was delicious and I can't wait to try cook it at home! Can't wait for the next one!
  • 5/5 from Janice Chambers, attended Feb 2022: What an excellent day! We thoroughly enjoyed the course and now feel inspired to be more adventurous in our cooking at home. A beautiful location as well!
  • 5/5 from Paul Holian, attended Dec 2021: Another wonderful cookery class with Monica and her extremely knowledgeable mother. This was my second experience with the Spice Club and I would thoroughly recommend to everyone. I hope to be back again in the New Year.
  • 5/5 from Abbey Norris, attended Dec 2021: Monica and her mum were amazing hosts, they were both professional yet polite and personal. Monica talked us through every step, she was engaging, patient and just really lovely, the food we were all able to cook and share as a team was delicious and so homely. We started as individuals yet at the end of the class everyone built rapport shared stories and enjoyed the food as a group.It was such a memorable experience and I think I speak for us all when I say we have learnt new skills as a result. Myself and my boyfriend cant wait to try some of the recipes from the day at home.

  • 5/5 from Karen Huxtable, attended Dec 2021: The class was very good. I learnt a lot of new things. There was also lots of timesaving tips.

Hi! I'm Monica, the founder of The Spice Club, An Indian cookery school with an ethos to showcase regional, homestyle Indian food!
Cooking is my passion and my inspiration is my Mum. She has brought the tastes of Jaipur to our kitchen at home, having learnt generations of recipes from my incredible Naniji (grandma!). Her culinary enthusiasm remains child-like and infectious. She is always looking to expand her repertoire and put her unique twist on old classics, but the heart of her dishes remain true to the basics – home cooked and from the soul. She tells me that I started as her sous-chef from age 3, and I haven’t looked back.
I sharpened my skills whilst fending for myself at University, where I majored in Hospitality Management with a specialisation in Restaurant and Food Service Management. I’ve worked in various “flavours” of restaurants in both North America and the UK — from fast-food franchises to exclusive fine-dining establishments which have given me a broad base of experience and fuelled my desire to follow my passion.
Through our cookery school, we aim to showcase what homemade Indian food is all about — fresh ingredients, homemade spice blends and family recipes cooked and seasoned with a generous portion of love and history.
