I had such a great street tour and market shopping tour. I had a very tight schedule but also needed wedding saris (and was leaving the next day!) Jyotri was so fun and able to help me so much. We got a sari and a lenga and I had so many compliments at the wedding. I learned so much about spices and then to top it all off - had delicious food. I wish I had had time for the cooking class

Experiencing India not only involves seeing its cities and monuments, but also experiencing its cousins and people.having a cooking class with Jyoti enables you to do that at a reasonable price and in a extremely competent and friendly way. What makes the course special is not just her teaching and knowledge, but also her hospitality and willingness to tailor her class to your desire. We had an amazing time while cooking and learning, as well as while having dinner all together afterwards. I cannot recommend this enough, really, an experience worth trying even if you are not a navigated cook.

My wife and I had a fantastic experience celebrating her birthday with Gourmet Desire. Jyoti was amazing and had a wealth of knowledge about Indian cooking to share with us. We both love Indian food and wanted to learn the authentic way to use spices to create complex flavours and a true taste of India. We learned so much during our experience and even better was to eat our labour at the end. Jyoti and her son made my wife’s birthday truly and special and we have created memories to treasure for a life time.

Jyoti was sensational! I’ve always been the cook in the family, and have always strived to cook up new experiences for my wife and I, but this was unlike anything I’ve done before! It was an absolute blast from prepping the ingredients to all the great conversations we had we Jyoti. Truly one of a kind experience.

We booked via Airbnb and this cooking class with Jyoti was the best experience we had in Delhi. Jyoti invited us to her wonderful home, made us feel very welcomed. She gave us very practical tips for authentic Indian dishes. She let us decide what we wanted to cook, we even had a great meal and conversation with her. 10/10 - just go for it, it is worth it.

Had an amazing afternoon cooking with Jyoti in her wonderful home
We learnt so much about Indian cookery and will definitely be trying out the recipes again when we get home
Was east to follow Jyoti’s directions and the food was delicious
Can’t recommend enough if you want a relaxing afternoon away from the hustle of the city

Jyoti provided an amazing experience by explaining the different spices, Indian foods and how to prepare many different items. Everything was absolutely delicious and by far the best Indian food I have eaten. I will be back for sure!!

A fabulous evening for our family spent with Jyoti learning about and cooking Indian cuisine. We were warmly welcomed into Jyoti’s home and we’re so thankful to her and her son for such an enjoyable evening. Delicious food, fun to learn and great company! A memorable evening for us all.

It has been wonderful experience, we tasted the real india both from a culinary and a cultural point of view...this is exactly what we were looking for!thanks to her perfect English, Jyoti guides you in and immersive hands on cooking lesson...she taught us lot of recipes together with lot of advices, the ones coming from years of experience that you don't find in books. Everything was simply delicious probably the best indian meal we had during our trip.
In addition, the visit to the spice market has been very interesting as we had a glimpse of life in delhi

Jyoti was the most wonderful host. She made us feel welcome in her home. The food we cooked together was fabulous and her explanation of all the ingredients and how to use them together was fabulous. I couldn’t recommend this experience enough. We finished after lunch with a tour of one of the local markets and were able to purchase some of the ingredients that we had learned to use.

I would suggest you go directly to Gourmet Desire as they will know their availability and can give you pricing at the same time. Have a light breakfast because you eat what you cook and there will be plenty!
