I spent a very enjoyable half-day with Bakul on the Introduction course. He was very welcoming and makes a wonderful cup of tea. The course was very well structured and informative at which I learned more than I anticipated due to us sitting down and going through the history of where Indian cuisine as we know it today has developed from. I found this particularly interesting. We then moved in to the kitchen. There was a step-by-step approach and the lesson was tailored to my ability as it progressed. Every aspect was explained as it was carried out ensuring that the very best flavours were achieved from the spices and ingredients. At the end of the course, we sat down together and enjoyed the fruits of our labour over a nice drink. Needless to say, I will be back for the next part of the course.
