Our 3rd cookery class. Absolutely brilliant.  You learn so much and get to eat amazing food you have helped cook. Highly recommend. 

Christine  Gilbert

Wow what a fantastic cookery class. Monica was the most wonderful teacher and host. The venue was outstanding and the total experience was absolutely fabulous. Lots of hints and tips, everyone was involved in the preparation and cooking. 2 highlights were making the naan bread and then having lunch together and eating the food we had been making. Faultless.

Chris Dunn

A fantastic, intimate experience. Well planned and organised by Monica and her team. Easy to understand and follow and lots of helpful tips, guidance and hacks to takeaway with you. Represents good value for money. Will definitely go again.

Very enjoyable and interesting - highly recommended 

Abbey  Norris

Monica and her mum were amazing hosts, they were both professional yet polite and personal. 
Monica talked us through every step, she was engaging, patient and just really lovely, the food we were all able to cook and share as a team was delicious and so homely.
 We started as individuals yet at the end of the class everyone built rapport shared stories and enjoyed  the food as a group.
It was such a memorable experience and I think I speak for us all when I say we have learnt new skills as a result. Myself and my boyfriend can’t wait to try some of the recipes from the day at home. 

Paul Holian

Another wonderful cookery class with Monica and her extremely knowledgeable mother. This was my second experience with the Spice Club and I would thoroughly recommend to everyone. I hope to be back again in the New Year. 

ADVENTURE TO AMRITSAR - PUNJABI FEAST COOKERY CLASS | 30th July 

Alicia Hoare

David Schilling

This one experience will teach you more than a thousand books. Monica was a fantastic teacher, I have been cooking curries for 40 years and the chicken curry that Monica showed us transcended expectations, in fact it was perhaps the best I have ever tasted. If you are a curry addict, you are definitely missing out should you not attend one of Monica's cooking classes. I will be doing every possible class, because it takes Indian cooking on to a completely different level! Thanks again Monica for teaching me traditional Punjabi cooking.

Jo  Chapman  Chapman

The course and tips were really good. However, sharing the preparation with others in the group was something I wasn't expecting. I had hoped  that we would have 
 ingredients to practice more on an individual/pair basis after watching Monica. Nevertheless an enjoyable event.

Bridge Williams

I absolutely loved the cooking class with Monica and have made the dishes a few times since. It has given me a massive improvement in my skill level having had a face to face lesson and I am looking forward to signing up to the next one.

Paul Rawbone

It has been one of the best cooking experiences I have had and the teaching by Monica was amazing. Since attending the cookery school I have cooked the dishes 3 times and everyone has been impressed. I can't wait to book onto the next one!

ADVENTURE TO AMRITSAR - PUNJABI FEAST COOKERY CLASS

Ramnik Hanspaul

Absolutely fantastic! Had the most wonderful evening learning about Punjabi cooking. Monica is so lovely and passionate about food - she's really very inspiring! Would definitely love to do another class!

Dave  Schilling

10/10 another amazing class! The way Monica teaches indian cooking totally inspires everybody from beginner to the experienced. Techniques, tips and tricks that any number of books don’t offer, is the gamechanger of being in the kitchen with Monica. The methi chicken curry was divine as was the dal maharani, and the chilli cheese paratha’s were to die for. One class will have you rushing back to your own kitchen to easily replicate these dishes and more than impress your family & friends! If you love indian food, look no further, Monica’s the answer, she will take you on a journey of mastering this cuisine from every region of India including Street food!

Antoni Dzumaga

Monica's Indian cookery course was great fun and very well organised. Super dishes and I learnt so much.

Really enjoyed the whole experience and can not wait to see what is next thank you 

Peter Maher

Another fantastic class with Monica. The street food dishes were delicious and packed with flavours. The components of the dishes were not difficult to make and I felt could stand alone as a starter or side dish to a main meal. As usual the class and fellow students were fun as we pursued our love of Indian food

Rebecca Watts

We had such a fun and informative night at our Mumbai Street Food Masterclass! Monica was really friendly and made us feel very welcome. The kitchens were extremely clean and food we all made together was delicious!

Excellent course, fantastic teacher and great venue. Learnt lots and highly recommend. 

MUMBAI STREET FOOD MASTERCLASS 

This was my twelfth cooking class with Monica and there ware plenty of new pearls of wisdom shared. Everybody thought the class was amazing and the smiles on their faces and the silence as we ate the days delights said it all. If you love Indian food, come and learn with Monica and you will only wish you’d started sooner. You will surprise yourself how good you can cook divine Indian dishes in a relaxed, enjoyable way be you a beginner or an adept. Monica’s classes are game changers!

Kevin  McCabe 

I attended the Mumbai street food session. This was an excellent experience. It was very well organised and extremely well presented by Monica. All ingredients and equipment was provided. The small class (6) meant we all had the support and help we needed when we needed it. The end product for each dish was a revelation, and made me as a student very pleased with my work and tasted delicious. I like to think of myself as a fairly competent cook but having someone who has experience and expertise guiding you through the process to make the dishes properly including general tips for this type of cooking does make a real difference. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and learned a lot. I will be back. Thank you Monica and Andy 5 star experience

Louis Smith

We would highly recommend this course with Monica at the Spice Club.  It was a great learning experience and so much fun and we have come away with so many new cooking skills and techniques.  The food we prepared was delicious and we will certainly return for another course at some stage.  Monica was so welcoming and  great at getting everyone engaged and was the perfect host!  Really great experience!

BIRYANI FEAST MASTERCLASS

Andy Hall

I recently took the biryani course with Monica and The Spice Club, and it was absolutely awesome! The class was vibrant, engaging, and bursting with authentic flavour, just like the biryani we created! Monica’s passion for Indian cuisine shines through in every step, making the learning experience both fun and unforgettable. If you’re looking to elevate your cooking skills and enjoy a truly delicious journey, this course is a must. Highly recommended! I will certainly book exploring other courses with The Spice Club. 

Colin Carter

What a fantastic experience. The Biryani Feast Masterclass was well paced, fun, informative and delicious. Monica did a brilliant job of involving everybody in the group in the cooking and the knowledge and cooking skills she shared was done in such a friendly and digestible way.

And to top it all off, we got to taste the amazing results of the class - the pakoras and the biryani were taste sensations and so tender. 

We will definitely look forward to trying g the dishes at home and attending further Spice Club classes in the future.

Monica as always, delivered another masterclass! For anyone wanting to learn the techniques for cooking first class lamb biryani in a relaxed, informative & joyful atmosphere, Monica exceeded expectations. The proof was in the eating, where compliments were flying around the table and everyone saying how much they enjoyed it.
