Indian cuisine has shaped the history of international relations; the spice trade between India and Europe was the primary catalyst for Europe's Age of Discovery. Spices were bought from India and traded around Europe and Asia. Indian cuisine has influenced other cuisines worldwide, especially those from Europe but particularly Britain, the Middle East, Southern Africa, East Africa, Southeast Asia, North America, Mauritius, Fiji, Oceania, and the Caribbean.
India contributes to 75% of global spice production. This is reflected culturally through Indian cuisine. Historically, the spice trade developed throughout the Indian subcontinent, as well as in East Asia and the Middle East. Europe's demand for spices was among the economic and cultural factors that encouraged exploration in the early modern period.
Drawing from this long history, we will savour the many tastes and aromas so apparent in this style of cooking while learning new cooking techniques.

Susan said: Knowledgeable and personable teacher made for an engaging, entertaining and enjoyable experience smaller class size would provide more time for each student to be more "hands on" kitchen set up not ideal for viewing of the entire class Would have liked recipe for the tea and samosas served prior to the class commencing.

Angela said: The friendliness of the class and wonderful generosity of our knowledgeable tutor Bhavna. I bought the course as a birthday gift for my sister and we both enjoyed learning about getting the most out of using fresh beautiful ingredients through a few basics - technique, timing and tasting. One note: The facilities were a little small for so many people.
