My husband and I were hosted by Lokesh and his wife in their lovely home. The couple was more than gracious and very kind and warm. Lokesh used very fresh local ingredients (even harvesting vegetables and herbs from the garden). He taught us hands on how to make classic Indian food that is possible in my own kitchen. I cannot wait to return to the US and try the recipes! After food preparations we dined with our hosts in their dining room. We had a wonderful time sharing professional and personal histories. We certainly enjoyed their sweet dog too. We were humbled by their teachings and hospitality. A must do when in Jaipur.

I have lived in Jaipur for 4 years now and I have regularly visited Chef Lokesh for one of his amazing cookery classes. He's so good at explaining everything - an introduction to Indian cooking, the different spices, different cooking methods, he's clearly a very knowledgable man…. and the food is seriously out of this world! Overall a really enjoyable cookery experience, fantastic host, and also now a friend too. Thoroughly recommended, just remember to start the class with a lovely cup of masala chai! Enjoy.

Chef Lokesh and his wife Gitika are completely warm, wonderful and welcoming. I immediately was made to feel at home at their place in Jaipur. Chef Lokesh has a full professional kitchen, fully outfitted for amateur and advanced cooking classes. Chef has traveled and worked around the Shiek world and has decades of global experience in various cuisines as well as high end establishments. I very much wanted to learn traditional clay pot cooking that has been practiced for hundred if not thousands of years in Rajasthan. Chef was super responsive to my requests. His operation is very professional and he provided me with clear written recipes and cooking instructions as a resources to take home. After hours of in depth learning and cooking easy as well as complex dishes, we sat down to a feast that was only made more perfect by the presence of the family dog who is a loving gentle giant. Can’t wait to get home and get cooking!
