Indian Cookery Class with Vidya | Vegetarian| LONDON | Pop Up

Nothing beats a home-cooked meal shared with family! And this is what inspires our Family Style Cookery Classes, a fun, laid-back homestyle cooking experience. Here, you will learn to prepare different dishes and then enjoy them with people who, like you, fuel our mission of supporting refugee and migrant chefs on their journey to integration. It’s a cookery class with a conscience, like they say!

Your class will be led by our wonderful Chef Vidya from India at in Peckham, London.

At our Family Style Cookery Classes, you will be grouped with other participants and prepare dishes together as a team. Think of Chef Vidya as the head of the family! She will take care of dividing the class into groups, and each group will be responsible for creating one of the dishes. Of course, you are welcome and encouraged to move around during the class to learn about the other dishes being prepared. Throughout the evening, Chef Vidya will share stories about their food and culture, and explain how to prepare each of the dishes so you come away with some new cooking tricks and inspiration from India. You will also be emailed the recipes after the class.

A message from our Chef Vidya:

“Namaste! My name is Vidya, I am from India! A self taught Indian Home cook with a lifelong passion for sharing the bold and beautiful flavours of traditional Indian cuisine. Raised in a family where food brought everyone together. I learned to cook by watching and helping my mother prepare everything from everyday rotis to elaborate festival feasts.

Now based in London, I teach hands-on cooking that makes Indian cooking approachable, fun and deeply authentic. My focus is on vegetarian meals.

The cooking class is more than just a cooking session, it will be a joyful experience filled with personal stories, practical tips and delicious results you can recreate at home.

Over the years I have perfected the art of making authentic, flavourful Indian meals. My approach to cooking is all about balancing spices using fresh ingredients and making traditional recipes.

I can't wait to welcome you into my class where every dish is a story and every bite brings us closer. Let's cook connect and celebrate the spirit of India from my Kitchen to yours.”
