Cooking Class & Dinner with an Indian Family

Bring the best possible souvenir back from your trip to Varanasi: the memory of a mouth-watering dinner with a local family and the knowledge of how to recreate it at home!

Cooking Class & Dinner with an Indian Family

On the day of your activity, you'll be picked up from your hotel in Varanasi and taken to the home of a local family, where you'll begin an experience of Indian traditions and cuisine.

Your cooking class will start with an introduction to typical Indian food: including popular ingredients, cooking tips, and traditional recipes from Varanasi and India. You'll learn about the culinary significance of Indian gastronomy.

Next, you will prepare the dishes with guidance from your host family. You will learn to cook pakoras, samosas, rice dishes, and a sweet treat, gulab jamun served in kheer, a sugary syrup.

Finally, you will sit down together to taste the dishes you’ve created, while learning about local customs in Varanasi before meals. An enriching cultural experience awaits you!
