“It was fun. I did not see any benefit of the shopping experience and it took much time. We could have made an additional recipe without the shopping. The recipes that we did make were good and representative of the area. I did not like the 4 flights of steps required to get to the kitchen. Overall it was good.”

“Great cookery class! Nishma and Vikram were really good teachers! The food was really good and can’t recommend the class enough! Can’t wait to try and make some of the food again when I’m home”

“Enjoyable experience, buying ingredients in local market, preparing ingredients cooking and eating with pleasant helpful instructor and other participants.”

“I cannot say enough positive things about this experience. At first, I was a little nervous about how everything would go, but it was amazing. Everyone was so friendly and kind, and really took an interest in learning about me and explaining the history and culture of Nepal. It was a small group of us, including the instructor and assistance. Everyone treated us like we were family and was so kind and accommodating. We got to watch a master in the craft, create such beautiful knives and then he would allow us to create in the process. You really felt like you’re getting an immersive experience. I would 100% do…”

“It is absolutely amazing and unique experience and I loved it! The ladies are so kind, attentive and fun!”

“This was an amazing experience. Not only did we learn so much about Nepalese food, Kalpana and her son taught us so much about Nepalese cultural! This was the first experience I had booked for my trip, and I’m so grateful I was able to learn so much on my first full day in Nepal. In addition to helping us avoid some cultural faux pas, Kalpana helped us make informed choices for many of our other meals. I understood the experience to be a lunch, so we ate breakfast before going. DO NOT DO THIS! You will be well fed during the whole experience! 1000% recommend this experience!”

“For all food enthusiasts who enjoy eating traditional Nepalese food- this cooking class is for you! Everything was very well organised, kitchen was clean and we were gently welcomed by chefs. We had to choose 3 dishes from menus (we had momo dumplings, thukpa soup and yomari plus masala tea) We were prepapring these dishes with the help of an expert cook that showed us how to do everything step by step. Thanks to Kathmandu Cooking Academy for this experience, we had a great time!”

“This was so much fun! The ladies made me feel so welcome! This was interesting, informative, and I definitely improved my cooking skills. While you could learn to cook anywhere, these were the best, most patient, kindest ladies in all of Kathmandu!”

“Fabulous food, and two really good guys cooking and explaining the history of the food and a little about Kathmandu also. The chef and guide both had fantastic humour also, and were very good at showing us how to make Momos. The instruction was also great, and the quantity of food was huge - come hungry and you will leave full!”

“Superb, very nice guidance and friendship with the two chefs, highly recommended, also, go with empty stomach and hunger to learn, mito food.”

“This was a meaningful and fun process to be involved with. We were guided to do the steps we could and watched Indra do the other steps. The knife is beautiful.”

“We were four persons this day. Not room for any more in the small kitchen. A nice morning although it was a bit stressful and more like putting ingredients togheter, than a schooling.”

“Fantastic, fun and informative class. The menu and food was awesome food to enjoy after preparing and cooking. Highly recommended.”

“I had a lovely time carving with Hera, learning the different techniques. Hera and his wife were very warm, kind and funny. I think I would have liked to learn more about the history/context of the craft.”

“It's a excellent experience for us to make a Nepali momo, after the class, also have a great yummy lunch. Come to join them”
