This is not a cooking demonstration — this is a seat at our family table.
Welcome to our home in Jaipur! We are Monty & Harshita, and we’ll welcome you with a big smile and a refreshing welcome drink. Over chai, we’ll share stories of our kitchen, our ancestors, and the secrets of Indian spices that you’ll never find in a cookbook.
Then we roll up our sleeves. This is 100% hands-on. You will learn to make a complete, authentic home-style Thali from scratch — from roasting and grinding your own masala to puffing fluffy Phulka on an open flame.
No experience needed. We guide you at every step, laugh a lot, and make sure you feel like family.
After cooking, we all sit together and eat the feast you created. It’s more than a cooking class — it’s a cultural exchange, just like our guest Sean said: “We felt welcomed from the minute the door opened... the next thing we knew it was three hours later and we could have continued for longer.”
You’ll leave with a full belly, new friends, and our Lifetime Family Recipe Pack so you can cook Jaipur at home.
We cook with the freshest seasonal vegetables from the morning market. You will make 6 dishes together:
Our Home: F-2, First Floor, 166, Gopalpura Bypass Road, Arjun Nagar, Jaipur, 302018. Use stairs to first floor. No elevator available
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the experience starts.
We had a lovely time cooking and socializing. We felt welcomed from the minute the door opened and we saw a big smile and heard a joyous “Welcome!” From there the evening flew by and the next thing we knew it was three hours later and we could have continued for longer. The cooking part was very interactive and the food was delicious. My favourite part was the kheer. It was absolutely delicious. Read more
I attend the food tour and home cooking class and had a wonderful time. The food tour was brilliant, engaging and of course delicious. I have intolerances and vegi and guide Harshit was brilliant at adapting and making feel safe food wise. I also loved that some of the location was sitting so it wasn’t tiring. A good idea if you’re a solo female traveler and wanting to get to grips with culture, confidence and to fulfil your curiosity. Monty and Harshita for the cooking class are incredibly hospitable, knowledgable. I can’t wait to cook at home what I learnt and make my own masala mix and curry’s! Read more
Yes! We are a 100% vegetarian family. Our menu is purely vegetarian and can be easily made vegan and Jain-friendly on request. Just let us know when you book.
Absolutely. We cook fresh and from scratch, so we can adjust for allergies, gluten-free, nut-free, and spice levels. Please inform us about any allergies at the time of booking so we can prepare accordingly.
Our family home is at F-2, First Floor, 166 Gopalpura Bypass Road, Arjun Nagar, Jaipur. Finding us: We’re on the first floor — just one flight of stairs up. No elevator. We’ll be at the door to welcome you!
Hotel pickup & drop-off is not included in the base price but you can add it at checkout:
We cover central Jaipur (Walled City, Bani Park, C-Scheme, MI Road, Gopalpura, Tonk Road).
Duration is 2.5 hours — though we often go a bit longer because we love to chat and eat together! We keep groups small — maximum 6 people — so you get lots of personal attention. Private classes are also available.
Not at all! This class is for everyone — from complete beginners to food lovers. We guide you step-by-step, and you will be amazed at what you cook with your own hands. Kids (8+) are welcome with an adult.
