Foodies are often debating the best places to eat in London (almost always it’s somewhere exclusive where us plebs will never be able to get in) but sometimes the most special experiences are the ones we create ourselves, with the help of some of London’s hidden talents.
Check out some of our Foodie workshops below, where you can watch your creation turn from an idea, to a delicious homemade treat before your eyes.
Set Menu Indian Cookery Class
WHEN: 14th April | WHERE: SW London | PRICE: £75

In this three-hour class, you’ll cover a beautiful set menu with one meat and one vegetarian main dish accompanied by rice and raita (flavoured yogurt).
These classes are fun, interactive, very hands-on and appeal to culinary beginners as well as serious food enthusiasts. Not only will you master some delicious Indian recipes perfected through generations, you’ll learn how to use spices confidently.
