Join Gayathri in her welcoming Chennai home for a private South Indian vegetarian cooking class inspired by treasured family recipes from Thanjavur, that she inherited from her grandmother. Learn to prepare authentic dishes using traditional cookware and techniques before enjoying a homemade meal served on a banana leaf. Along the way, discover the stories, customs, and hospitality that make South Indian cuisine so special.

Learn to cook one main dish and one side dish in your 1.5-hour, hands-on cooking class in Chennai. Gayathri will also teach you about the various medicinal herbs used in a traditional Tamil brahmin kitchen. You will also cook in traditional vessels, such as kal chatti (soap stone vessel), eeya chombu (tin alloy vessel) or mann chatti (terracotta vessel) – depending on the dish you will be cooking. To make the tomato-onion chutney you will also use a traditional stone grinder. Chop, stir, fry, learn about local ingredients, spices and some tip and tricks, before you sit down to share the meal you helped prepare.
