We had a fantastic time with Shilpa on our vegan cooking class. Shilpa was extremely genuine, enthusiastic and patient as she showed us around her kitchen and local neighbourhood market. She showed us the best ingredients and helped us identify spices and produce. For our meal, we made a delicious dahl, aloo sabji, tofu/paneer sabji and rotis as well as paratha. Shilpa ensured we understood every step of the process before moving on, and also gave us print outs of the recipes to annotate as we went. We learnt a lot about cooking in general as well as short cuts for busy households, like ours. We very much enjoyed our time with Shilpa and will definitely enroll in another cooking class with her when we are next in MumbaiFirst of all thanks to the Traveling Spoon team.

First of all thanks to the Traveling Spoon team. It was the first time I used your service and so I had a lot of questions. You always answered fast und precise and that‘s really seldom with online services. A lot of thanks to Pallavi. She is a wonderful and warm host. We came with a cruise ship. So she picked as up at the Green Gate (where everybody had to leave the Harbour) and organized the transport first to the market then to her home and back to the ship as good as possible concerning the (sometimes bad) traffic at Mumbai. (For other cruisers: we never had the fear to not be back on the ship in time! The timing was well done.) On the market Pallavi showed and explained us a lot of goods and answered our question. And she helped us to buy some spices (vanilla, saffron, ...) that are much more expensive in our country than here. Then we arrived at her luxury flat as described in the announcement. (It‘s of course we’ll air conditioned.) She welcomed us with a cooling drink, some appetizers and the menu card of dishes we will cook and then eat. Later in the kitchen first she showed how to prepare the vegetables, spices and herbs and who to prepare the dishes. After that we were invited to do by ourselves. You will be astonished how easy and fast the preparations are if you follow Pallavi‘s tips. (For other guests: don‘t be afraid, Pallavi’s cooking isn‘t really hot. It‘s spicy, yes, but not hot, and while preparing the dishes you can decide how much chili will be used.) Back to the eating room to the well prepared table two Pallavi’s attendants served us and herself the lunch. Pallavi explained how to eat the different things in the Indian style, why to combine some of them. And I can tell you, if you follow her advice, her served food is great. (For others: if you never tried south Asian food or have only the experience of some restaurants in Europe, the taste not comparable, it’s different, it‘s originally and much better!) Beside eating and later we had warm and nice talks about us, our families, about living in Mumbai... Last but not least Pallavi sent us back to the ship with her driver well in time. We had a great day in Mumbai full of new and best experiences and tastes (and ideas to cook by myself at home). Again Pallavi, thank you a lot!THe host is a passionate chef with extensive knowledge about indian north and south cuisine.

THe host is a passionate chef with extensive knowledge about indian north and south cuisine. Sometimes she went through cooking steps too fast but always willing to instruct me again. The market tour was awesome with all explanations in details about what each ingredient is used for. More than that, she also helped me to search for good hotels around her area and gave some tips about what places I should visit. Highly recommend to anyone interested in indian cuisine.Fantastic cooking class with Shilpa!
