Pam Kendrick-Astle

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.

David Schilling

Another Masterclass, it just gets better! Monica's teaching style resonates with everybody, no matter how inexperienced or experienced you are with cooking indian food. Books will give you a recipe, videos show you how somebody does it, but when you're in the kitchen with Monica you will learn techniques that you need to master the dishes yourself. If you want to really know how to cook indian dishes that exceed your expectations, book a class with Monica because you will only wish you'd done it sooner!

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!

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

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!
