A hands-on cooking class culminating in dinner served with wine and beer, perhaps a little bubbly! Students will work in teams to complete the recipes, and will be encouraged to jump between recipes to learn as they'd like.

Mix up your dinner party repertoire and impress your guests with this Indian feast! Step one: Start your party with some delicious bhajis (aka pakoras), battered and spiced vegetables deep fried to a golden brown. Step two: invite your guests to gather around the kitchen with some cold beer as you ply them with bhajis hot from the stove, and dipped in a refreshing chutney. Step three: take a break and drink with your guests (Simran and Stacie suggest Johnnie Walker, which is very popular in India!). Step four: when everyone is a little tipsy, serve this delicious Indian meal to soak up the alcohol, as all these dishes have been pre-cooked and are easy to keep warm. As an extra indulgence, the pooris require you to be frying at the stove, but can be skipped if you'd rather be sitting down at the table.

And it goes without saying, be sure to have Bollywood music playing to get everyone in the mood!
