Got great opportunity to be there last week. Banu brings real taste of Indian food and amazing techniques to students. I have never seen such wonderful place where one can have chance not only to learn but also having huge information about various seeds grains and splits spices and herbs. The ritual she performs with deep meaning full explanation were speechless.
What an epic evening. The hospitality was out of this world- we were warmly welcomed from the moment we walked in. Company was great and food was delicious. We learnt lots of tips and tricks, had hands on cooking experience, lots of laughs and learnt more about Indian culture. A very enjoyable evening! Highly recommend.
We had a great night learning Banu’s traditional way of cooking passed on by her father. The food was amazing, and ive learnt some great tips. It was a wonderful evening and i highly recommend. Thank you Banu and family
This was an enjoyable night out with delicious food, relaxed atmosphere and a friendly and knowledgable host. Highly recommend it as an alternative to dining out on Indian food. Think of it as master chef, meets quiz night, in a warm home with tasty treats!
Our daughter gave us a voucher to go to Banu's cooking class for Christmas. Bruce and I travelled from Taupo to attend and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Banu and her family made us very welcome and the food was amazing. We even had some to take home at the end of the class. Banu's knowledge of the herbs and spices was so interesting. We would not hesitate to recommend this class to others. Thank you Banu.
Ahhh Banu's cooking class is such a treat from beginning to end! After the warmest welcome to her home guests settle in and enjoy a delicious range of starters. Then over the course of the night we all got to both observe and have a go at producing a wonderful range of dishes. Plus Banu has one of the best pantry you'll lay eyes on! We learnt so much about Indian spices and cooking techniques - popping up the Poori was a highlight! Then you enjoy a beautiful meal together and even get some to take home and share with your family. My twelve year old son Oscar said he 'felt so welcome, took away a lot of skills and enjoyed Banu's beautiful story-telling'
Thank you so much Banu and thanks to your family also.
The love and passion that Banu and Sidhart have for Food, Family, and hosting is evident from the start of this experience. A wonderful journey of learning, sharing and fun. Highly recommend for anyone looking not only to expand knowledge on spices and Indian cooking/culture but even just too enjoy a night out.
Thoroughly enjoyed my evening at Banus cooking class. So welcoming from the moment you walk in the door. Food was so delicious and recipes easy enough to put together yourself at home. Loved hearing stories about the flavours and Banus family and learning new ingredients. Highly recommend
A wonderful evening with a wonderful family! Learnt so much...not only about food but also your traditions and values. Left with much more than a full stomach! Thank you 💕
Banu's cooking class was amazing. I loved it from start to finish. A lovely welcome set the scene and the night got better and better. There was hands on cooking, lots of tips and tricks and also lots of laughs to make the night. I would highly reccomend this cooking class. It was superb!!! Thank you Banu. Xx
Banu's Cooking Class was an amazing experience and one I would highly recommend to anyone. We were made to feel so welcome by Banu as soon as we stepped in the door, it was like we were part of the family. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for Indian food and spices is phenomenal and I learnt so much in such a short space of time. Her food is utterly delicious and it was fantastic to learn by her side. We each got to make a dish in pairs and were heavily involved in all of the other courses we cooked for the final feast - and what a feast it was! It really was a feast for the eyes and the belly and, what's more, we got to take loads home too! Thank you Banu for such a wonderful evening. I had the most amazing time and would love to come back again!
