Description
Meet your guide, an award winning food author and chef, in the foyer of Hounslow West tube station, 25 minutes from Central London (on the Piccadilly Line), to enter a world of spice and history and to learn about how the British fell in love with curry.
Begin with a short trip to the Indian shop to learn about specialist ingredients such as dried fenugreek and black cardamom that are rarely found in central London. Take in the smells and sounds of London’s Indian precinct.
Then, walk to your guide’s home, a couple of minutes away, to cook a fabulous hands-on feast that you’ll all eat together at the end. Learn to blend spices, create curry pastes, and achieve a balance of flavor to create a meal without needing to use a whole cupboard full of ingredients.
Get secret tips on how to make a healthy and delicious Indian meal in a matter of minutes. As you eat your feast, enjoy an informal discussion on how home cooking differs from Indian restaurant food and how curry came to Britain over 200 years ago.
