Entertaining, informative and delicious. Recommended! - Wonderful experience - well presented with hands on participation, we learned lots about Kerala ingredients and recipes. The kitchen is nicely designed, elevated and open at the sides for some air. If you are here off season, you might get lucky enough to get an exclusive class

A fun cooking experience - This was a fun cooking experience!
We were in Varkala in the low season, so the class was for just the two of us. But that didn't mean the chef had put less effort into it!
He explained everything clearly and with passion. The class was very hands-on, so we did a lot of chopping and cooking ourselves. The chef gave us tips on how to find or substitute ingredients in our home country, so it is very doable to remak thes recipe's at home ❤️
At the end all the food we made, and some extras from the back kitchen, were displayed in pots, and then served tonus om banana leaves.
We have learned a lot, and had fun chats together throughout the day.
I would recommend it to people going to Varkala.
