Market Tour and North Indian Vegetarian Cooking Class in Jaipur
Description
In this private culinary experience you will spend the day with Payal, a local homecook who was first inspired in the kitchen by her grandmother. Payal loves looking for lost recipes and learning dishes that people have stopped eating. She believes that daily food should be regional and seasonal, to ensure that the flavors are the freshest and ingredients are nutritious. Payal will take you to the local market and show you how she likes to shop for seasonal produce and the freshest spices. Then you will return home for a hands-on cooking lesson of some of her Rajathani specialties. When the meal is complete, join Payal and her family at their welcoming dining table and get to know this special regional cuisine.

This was an AMAZING experience. It was definitely one of the highlights of my trip. Payal is a fantastic instructor and is such a warm, friendly, and funny individual. The market tour was informative, her cooking directions were helpful, and the meal we created was delicious! One of our members had a severe gluten and dairy allergy and Payal adjusted the menu effortless. The strength to Payal's cooking experience was her holistic approach to food and wellness; she emphasized the use of simple, fresh, and regional ingredients to nourish and care for the body. It was such a pleasure spending the day with Payal.
We had an awesome time learning about the various spices and flavors of Indian cooking with Payal. She was a great teacher! I’d highly recommend this class and experience for anyone visiting Jaipur.
Shalini was a brilliant host and an amazing cook.... she made it all look so easy! Welcomed to her house and shown how to make some Chai and pakoras before we went off to the shops. Discussed all the various spices and vegetables and chose some to cook for dinner. Helped prepare and cook some of the food but it was as much fun watching Shalini effortlessly cook the food. All done on just 3 gas rings. Needless to say it was all delicious and I would highly recommend.
