Learn authentic homemade Indian Sattvic Food from beautiful soul Miss Anju - Miss Anju was so lovely and I learned to cook authentic homemade Indian sattvic food. Her place is also very beautiful and quiet since it is all the way up in the upper part of upper Tapovan. If I knew, I would have stayed at her place since it’s so beautiful and peaceful. Next time I visit Rishikesh I will stay at her place. I learned how to make roti chapati from scratch, paneer dish, yellow dal, rice and a mildly sweet cashew halwa. Everything was so tasty. She packed some leftovers for me too and I ate the rest for dinner. Indian food at restaurants compared to home-style is so different. If all you know is Indian food from restaurants, this cooking class experience will open your eyes to what Indian food tastes like in Indian households. Whether sattvic or not, Indian food cooked at home is similar approach to anywhere in the world - when you cook at home, most people use less salt, less fat, less grease, less pungency and acidity for a more balance mild flavor and taste that is better for your gut and teaches you how to eat slowly and really taste and saveur the meal you or someone else prepared. Miss Anju also gave me a henna tattoo which was so sweet of her. Thank you so much and I highly recommend. I am going to do another class with her before I end my trip to learn more dishes.

Unforgettable Indian cuisine lessons - Miss Anju teaches to cook local snacks and food, so we cooked curry, pie, and a soup and dessert, using the local masala, a pleasant experience.

A great taste of north indian cuisine! - Lovely instructor. Anju welcomed us to her kitchen, and we made amazing Indian vegeterian food with lots of excotic spices. In the end we ate everything. 3 hours of fun.

Cooking, praying and eating - Great experience with Miss Anjou. She prepared three dishes, including dessert. We participate in everything, take notes and take knowledge home. Miss Anjou is a great hostess. We recommend it for those who want to get to know better Indian cuisine and spend good times with nice people

Authentic Indian Cooking with a Kind and Talented Teacher - Today I had the pleasure of enjoying a cooking class with Miss Anju at the Hotel Home Homestay. Miss Anju is a woman with deep knowledge of Indian cooking and Ayurvedic nutrition. She is also very kind and friendly, and you can talk with her about any topic. She teaches very well —clear, organized, and precise in her explanations and in the preparation of all the condiments, ingredients, and spices you’ll use. She shows each ingredient separately in small individual bowls so that you can become familiar with them, and she guides you step by step through the whole process. In just one class we prepared three different dishes, we also cooked rice, and she explained how to make chapati. I’m really looking forward to taking my second class with her, where she will teach me how to prepare traditional Indian desserts. Thank you very much for your kindness and professionalism, Miss Anju. If you come to Rishikesh, don’t miss her cooking class — it’s unique! You won’t regret it. 🌿

New food, new friends, new fun - I enjoyed learning to prepare a few Indian dishes so that I can make them when I go home. Anju was lovely and clearly a maestro in the kitchen. Everything was very clean and well organized. I was the only attendee this morning but Anju made me feel very welcome. I enjoyed meeting a few of the house guests, she showed me the rooms they have available and I would definitely stay at Om Guesthouse on my next visit to Rishikesh. The current guests told me it is so quiet at night and such a comfortable temperature for sleeping. They also have a view of the mountain rather than the back of another building as I do. This is my first trip to India and Rishikesh, so I will know what to look for on my next visit. Thank you Anju and family!!

Best experience ever - Big thanks to my buddha yogpeeth family. Just completed my 200 hours and honestly, it was awesome. Best teachers, best food and best environment. Highly recommended to everyone. The staff here is your true family and they literally go extra mile for their students. I will be back for my 300 hours soon. Extra tips: You can't find this kind of course in such price. Don't miss this opportunity 🙏

Exceptional! It's very worth it. - The experience was wonderful. Anju taught me the traditional Indian recipes, and more than that, from her heart, she brought a new look at the act of feeding. In the end, the lunch was delicious. Anju is a caring, patient and loving teacher. Thank you so much!
