We are Punjabi mother and daughter team, Surinder and Safia. Led by us you will be taught how to make a home-style 3-course meal from scratch, using the traditional Punjabi cookery methods and ingredients, as taught to Surinder by our late mother/grandmother.
Our cookery is the real, healthy food, cooked daily in the conventional North Indian home, as cooked by the first generation of immigrants who arrived in the 50’s and 60’s, and is NOT British-Indian restaurant food.
There is a space and a place for all food, but our mission is to keep alive the cookery of our mother/grandmothers generation.
Workshop attendees! You can extend your culinary adventure and immerse yourself in the experience at our home and Pure Punjabi HQ with a relaxing staycation at our award-winning rural country inn, offering bed and breakfast exclusively to our workshop customers. We are conveniently located in South Somerset, (BA22 8PZ), near the West Dorset border and easily accessible from all major towns and cities via the A303.
As 2023 winners on Channel 4’s ‘Four in a Bed’ TV programme, we aim to provide a comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable stay.
