We took our two daughters to this cooking class and it was wonderful to do as a family. We were warmly welcomed and our kids got stuck straight into momo making and making things with a pestle and mortar - they had so much fun, especially later on trying to make sel roti!! We were certainly not experts at this!! The food we made was delicious and we can't wait to try it again ourselves - a real lovely insight into Nepali life and food, Highly recommended and don't hesitate to take kids too!!

This cooking class was so good! We got to be the first class to do it at night; we went to the local market to buy our vegetables, and enjoyed a rickshaw ride to the school. The place was great for cooking and we learned so much about nepalese cooking and the delicious recipes. The women teaching us was so sweet and made us all laugh so many times, and learning from locals was unique. Thank you so much for this experience.
