My wife, Nidhi, shall be co-Guru for the tour and you will find her besides me in all my tours.
Last time I was in Delhi, I signed up for a cooking class through Airbnb experiences at a local family’s home. I was traveling for work but decided to stay a couple of extra days alone to explore. This tour attracted me because it was advertised both a cooking class and a cultural exchange where I would not only have the opportunity learn how to make authentic Indian dishes, they (and I) would be able to ask any questions to each other without judgement. I would also be able to experience the traditional ways of living of an Indian family. Roopak & Nidhi were so gracious and welcoming and following that experience, we have continued to keep in touch over the years including sharing information about our family’s travel and yoga pictures - given Nidhi is also a yoga fanatic. Since I knew I was returning to Delhi, I of course arranged to visit my extended family 🤗…and this time I also brought my mom and co worker! What a beautiful evening! This time, we shared the experience with a person touring from Kazakistan and the UK. We learned and laughed together and after cooking, sat around the table and enjoyed our delicious meal of Matar Paneer Masala (Peas & Cheese Curry), Kaddu ki Sabzi (Pumpkin Vegetable) and homemade Rotis (Flat Indian Bread). This was our final evening and meal in India and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
The entire experience was absolutely great. It wasn't just learning a little bit of indian cuisine, it was understanding a little bit of every aspect of indian culture. The experience was surprisingly good and I would recommend it to absolutely anyone visiting Delhi.
Wir hatten einen wundervollen Abend mit unseren Gurus. Das Essen war sehr gut und wir hatten den besten Chai, den wir je im Leben getrunken haben! Wir erfuhren auch viel über die Kultur! Sehr empfehlenswert! 😍
This is a MUST DO when visiting Delhi. A humbling experience for a family to allow you into their home to cook together and learn about each other’s lives. Roopak was amazing from the moment I booked the tour, he sent all the information we needed via WhatsApp and even included useful tips for first timers coming to Delhi. The food we cooked with Nidhi was fresh and delicious and we can’t wait to get home and try the recipes! I can’t recommend this experience enough, you won’t meet a friendlier couple! Thank you from Andy and Emma x
I had an amazing time at this experience! Nidhi taught us how to cook a variety of indian dishes, which we later sat down and ate together. Roopak showed us around his home and taught us some Indian history, religious beliefs and taught us some Hindi.
