A wonderful food experience! - A group of 9 of us enjoyed a wonderful day with Anchal and her colleagues. A problem with the electricity in the street proved no obstacle to her as we still learned loads about the creation of spiced dishes. While we came away with a number of recipes the most valuable thing for me was learning how to ‘build’ a dish and understanding which spices to use and the timing of their introduction . That way we had a foundation to adapt our own dishes.

Incredible experience! - Doing a cooking class in Dehli was hands down our best experience in India. We learned so much about the spices, traditional cooking methods, and daily eating in India. We would highly recommend this to anyone who loves food and wants a truly unique travel experience. Thank you so much!

Fun, informative and delicious! - Prenja (I'm sure my spelling is wrong) made it easy to prepare 5 Indian dishes, each really delicious. I did the cooking, she guided me throughout. The classroom was cheerful, clean and well equipped. Her teaching was the standout. Our market tour was great fun - you may want to linger. I was the only student who signed up that day. Class could have been cancelled, but no, I had a private lesson!
I received the recipes we made and more within a week of the class, as promised.
I took a tuk-tuk there, but the driver got me near, not there. I asked directions several times...arrive early. Tastesutra is immediately across from the metro line

Superb experience for us girls - Our chef was fantastic, very easy to speak with, extremely knowledgeable, the class went at a nice steady pace and I felt like I was learning the whole time - I took two pages’ of notes which I needn’t have because they have emailed me the recipes any who.
It really was a fun, vibrant and educational morning out with a trip to the market afterwards to buy spices, now we understood what they were for!
Indian cuisine is superb and don’t miss an opportunity to learn more about how they have so much delicious variety in their diet. Tastesutra was a highlight of New Delhi trip - snuck out of my conference for a few hours to do it. Worth it!

Cooking and market visit - We had a wonderful day at Tastesutra. We started with an introduction and education on spices and cooking with lots of tips on home cooking. We then prepared and ate a delicious meal and were given insights into how local families eat and prepare food day
to day. Finally we toured the local market. As this is not a tourist market it allowed us to see local life including understanding the street food on offer and buying our own spices. A really interesting fun and well thought out day.

A wonderful course with gratifyingly delicious results! - My best friend and I decided we’d like to do this course on our last day in Delhi before flying and it was the perfect end to a fabulous journey. The premises is cool, bright and brilliantly functional and we were lucky enough to have a private tutorial with Tushan. He was a superb teacher; clear, flexible, and a great communicator. We created 3 classic dishes with sides, chutney and fresh chapati and gobbled the results too quickly to take pics. The course is really fun and the market tour was a perfect ending to stock up on goodies to take home and recreate the lovely meal we prepared. Many thanks also to Anchal who’s baby Tastesutra is and the charming Ram Who cleared up after us and giggled affectionately at our first attempts to fashion chapatis! Highly recommended.

Phenomenal woman owned business -- exceptional experience - Anchal was incredible. A kind, strong businesswoman who is doing everything right. She cares about the environment and uses sustainable, reusable or compostable items. She teaches you how to cook things healthier than restaurant style -- like they do it at home. I can't recommend this experience enough. Beautiful venue, great location (near an amazing market and the metro train), great employees. But Anchal is the star. Don't overthink it, just book.
