Why we love this?
Sundari is a vegetarian who has lived in the Middle East and Thailand for a good amount of time and is passionate about food. She believes the best way of learning this art is self-learning with guidance. Hence, she will guide you with instructions while you cook in her kitchen. She will have everything well planned including pre-cut vegetables so that you can concentrate on learning and cooking all the delicious recipes yourself. After the cooking session, you may either choose to have lunch or dinner on a beautifully arranged table at her residence OR carry the food back home with you.
