What Makes This Experience Different
More than a cookery class, this is an invitation into our private cookery school adjoining our Punjabi family home. The recipes you'll learn have been passed from my mother to me, and now to my daughter — authentic dishes we've cooked and celebrated with as a family for generations.
Throughout the day we teach the way Punjabi mothers traditionally teach their daughters: cooking together, sharing stories, tasting as we go, and enjoying the food around the table.
What's Included
- Full-day workshop (10:00am – approx. 4:30–5:00pm)
- Lunch, beer & wine
- Tea & coffee
- Workbook & recipes
- All ingredients
- Take-home meal (feeds four)
- Expert tuition from our mother & daughter team
