PRIVATE  CLASSES

Cooking with Monisha offers a variety of private, in person classes for individuals, pairs or groups. From one-to-one cookery lessons to cooking courses for couples, families and friends, we can create a hands on class to suit you, taking into account your menu preferences and needs. We provide all the ingredients and recipe sheets and we all eat together at the end.

We also offer private online classes via Zoom for parties, groups or individuals all over the world and we can work to different time zones.

Our Indian cooking classes are a great way to spend time locally if you are staying at one of the Heathrow hotels or have a layover at Heathrow Airport. We are based in Hounslow West which is just a couple of tube stops away from the airport- you’ll learn to cook some easy recipes, have fun and enjoy a delicious meal too. You can make the most of your time without having to travel all the way to Central London.

If you’re attending a conference at a hotel near Heathrow Airport, we can help keep your parner or spouse busy and entertained at one of our Indian Cooking Masterclasses- just email us to fix a convenient date and time.

One to one classes-

You may wish to come to us to recreate dishes that you enjoyed on your travels to India or just build on your Indian cooking skills in our personalised classes. We are known for our fun courses with a day that includes lots of food history, humour and attention to detail.

It is the 4th time I had the pleasure to take a bespoke course with Monisha who is a strict and professional Chef and her beautiful sense of humour makes a cookery course with her a wonderful, intensive and great fun experience. Are you curious to know more about Ayurvedic Food and/or are you a passionate cook and love tasty, fresh, balanced, well combined Ayurvedic food, create new dishes? If this is the case, this is definitely the right place to be. You will be able to cook the dishes back home as you learned them during the class. I highly recommend this unforgettable one-to-one experience. Enjoy!

Group classes

Whatever your passion, we can create a bespoke menu and a fun event for you. Whether your group is small and has just two people or a larger one, we can create a class just for you.

Ayurvedic Cooking Courses

At Cooking With Monisha, we believe that the food we eat must be healthy, delicious and easy to prepare. Our recipes are based on the healing principles of Ayurvedic cooking and eating and we encourage mindfulness, respect for ingredients and harmony in our classes. Ayurveda is the Indian system of holistic healing through good food and a balanced lifestyle.

We run private Ayurvedic cooking courses that are 4 days long and we cover various aspects of Ayurvedic cooking wisdom from understanding the doshas, strengthening the digestion or ‘agni’, how to build immunity through correct eating, working towards a healthier lifestyle and more. The course is designed as a one to one, private course but we are also happy to work with small groups or couples. You can take a shorter course too– do get in touch so that we can design the perfect course for you.

Monisha regularly teaches Ayurvedic cooking that is specifically designed for new or expectant mothers and has also taught a group of professional doulas who have introduced these healing and wellbeing principles into their work.

Monisha taught at an Ayurvedic cooking retreat in the south of France in 2023- please let us know if you would like to organise one anywhere in the world or if you would like us to offer a few cooking classes at your yoga school or retreat.

‘I gained so much more from the week than I hoped for. It was a week of calmness and healthy eating.’

‘As a global doula who has lived and worked in India, it was a joy to learn from the amazing chef Monisha. She taught a group of us the benefits and the cultural wisdom behind the recipes we cooked with her instructions and under her watchful eyes. It was fun and captivating and I’m excited to be able to cook these for my clients, especially those who are displaced and don’t have the family and community around to provide this invaluable support. Definitely go to check out Monisha’s workshops and send an enquiry for a bespoke one that you would like to do – she makes it happen!

Birthday or Anniversary parties

How about a birthday party at Cooking With Monisha? Organise a group of friends to come over and cook over a bottle of wine. Eat what you cook for dinner!

“It was a completely novel way to celebrate!’

Hen or Stag parties

A party with a difference, Cooking with Monisha offers a fun cooking class to hone your cooking skills for the new life that awaits you. Bring in your own wine or beer and learn to create a sizzle in the kitchen. Plenty of Bollywood music (if desired) and humour included.

“Emily wanted to try and improve her culinary skills and she chose an Indian class because her husband-to-be loves a curry. We took along some champagne and Monisha put some bindis on our foreheads and we had the most entertaining and useful ‘Bollywood’ evening of our lives!
