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.

Magda said: I was so looking forward to this cooking class: I was delighted to learn the simplicity of Indian cooking - just have your spice box ready. Bhavna's thorough and vivacious presentation of the history of Indian spices and explanation of ingredients and method put my fears to rest. All students actively participated in the preparation and cooking of at least one meal and gee did the room fill instantly with luring spice aromas. Very yummy! Thank you Bhavna for sharing your wonderful knowledge and skills :)
