Private Authentic Kerala Cooking Class in a Local Home
Join Freeda in her contemporary home overlooking the lush green Ernakulam landscape for a private, hands-on cooking class where you will learn to prepare traditional Kerala dishes. Begin your culinary adventure with a welcome appetizer and drink before rolling up your sleeves to learn to cook traditional South Indian dishes.
After cooking a traditional Kerala meal, enjoy the meal you helped prepare with your host at her dining table. You might try dishes such as a Kerala-style chicken stew or fish curry, karimeen pollichathu (marinated fish wrapped in banana leaves and grilled) or Syrian beef fry (strips of beef cooked in pepper and spices), appams and a seasonal vegetable followed by a delicious western-style dessert.
You will not want this experience to end but when it does, you will leave with new friends, a full belly, printed copies of Freeda's personal recipes, and a true glimpse into a local's life.
