This class was a birthday gift from my daughter. Being 81 years of age, I was a little apprehensive, however, from the beginning of the day to the end of day, I was made to feel very welcome. I really enjoyed the class and the fococcia turned out perfectly. I can't wait to see if I can now make one on my own.

We had such a lovely afternoon doing this class with friends. Held in Puja’s home, it was a warm, welcoming and relaxed environment from the moment we arrived.
Puja took the time to explain each ingredient, every step of the focaccia-making process and the purpose behind it. She demonstrated everything alongside us and was incredibly patient, offering guidance and encouragement throughout. Even beginners would feel comfortable.
A special mention to her husband, who was a fantastic assistant and brought plenty of humour to the class.
We all left with delicious focaccia, new skills, and a really fun shared experience. We highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a relaxed, hands-on activity with family or friends.

Puja is a wonderful chef and teacher who will show you how to make three kinds of bread: roti, paratha and stuffed paratha. Everything is very well-structured, prepared, and professional so you'll definitely learn comprehensively as you follow along. Beyond that, she's a lovely person and the nice conversation, good bread and lessons you'll learn make this a great way to spend half a day. Fully recommend to anyone interested in learning more about Indian cooking and how to make its amazing bread dishes.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day cooking with Puja. By the time we finished, we felt confident that we could cook focaccia at home. Puja was extremely good at explaining the steps and techniques of making a really good focaccia. We will definitely go back and do more cooking with Puja.

Great course, Puja was great fun and very patient! Certainly recommend it to anyone with an interest in Indian cooking, whether it's for yourself or as a gift.

I booked the focaccia course for a date with my husband. Just for fun. Puja made the session both fun and educational. We learnt so much within the hours we spent there, had delicious bread on site, and demolished a whole loaf as soon as we arrived at home. Definitely recommend the class to take. Thanks, Puja!

Puja was an amazing teacher and host. Our group had a wonderful time learning new techniques as well as the history and usage of Indian spices and ingredients. We loved that we could get involved as little or much as suited each individual. And the food was so good, I can't wait to try making it at home. We highly recommend this course.

Puja was a great teacher. She took us through all the steps and answered all our questions happily. It was a great end result and I look forward to using my new skills for future family gatherings.

It was really insightful and fun, I learned a lot and the food was amazing!

We had previously experimented with bread making, however, this class revealed to us why our success to date was limited. Through the professional demonstration and expert tuition of our teacher, we were able to create a focaccia that was magnificent to look at and equally magnificent to consume. Holding the class in her own kitchen was a real plus for us too, as it reinforced that this can be done at home.

Highly recommend the Indian Flatbread Making Class with Puja. I booked this class to celebrate a girl's trip to Canberra for my best friend's 60th birthday and it was a lovely way to spend a few hours. Puja was very welcoming and made us feel immediately relaxed. It was fun, informative and delicious!!

Thanks very much for a wonderful class! The flatbread was absolutely delicious and it was a treat to learn about a variety of Indian spices, ingredients, cooking techniques, and options for making varieties of flat bread.

Lovely birthday surprise included & unexpected. Thank you Puja! The cupcakes were gobbled up in no time.

Puja was really great, very accommodating of my dietary needs and I learned a lot. Highly recommended.

What a fabulous class! This was a Christmas gift and we couldn't have asked for a better experience… great fun and we are keen to implement our learning at home! We've walked away with a delicious focaccia each, and more importantly, inspired to bake at home.

Puja was very welcoming and super helpful. It was a beautiful class and I loved every minute. Super easy and I would highly recommend anyone to do it. Super fun

Puja is an excellent instructor, I had a 1-on-1 focaccia making session with her. You get to take home the recipe. The experience was relaxing and fun. My masterpiece looked amazing, smelled divine, and tasted delicious! I would highly recommend either an individual or group booking!

We could not recommend this class highly enough!! It was such a wonderful experience. We got to be seriously hands on in the kitchen and walked out with a whole host of new culinary knowledge and some delicious food as well!!

Fantastic class, amazing food. Puja is a wonderful teacher. I learnt so much! Thank you.

Puja was fantastic, supportive and very patient to a non-baker. Her tips on making focaccia were extremely helpful.
And the focaccia it was delicious. Our group are still talking about it and telling everyone.
Thank you!

Puja was an excellent teacher and this was a great way to have fun with friends while learning how to make focaccia. The focaccia steps were easy to follow and the end result was a delicious tasting focaccia. Highly recommend!

My daughters and I thoroughly enjoyed Pujas class, it was fun and very interesting learning about the sequence of adding the different spices.

An informative class in a relaxed home environment. Puja was a good teacher - she explained the steps well and was happy to answer any questions we had. The class was well pitched to match our experience level and we will definitely cook these dishes again at home. We very much enjoyed our delicious lunch at the end of the class.

Great teacher, great instructions, and great focaccia! Thoroughly recommended.

Was given the flatbread-making class for my birthday and had a great lesson today. Learned to make different breads and also got lots of cooking tips. Then tasted the breads with raita made by Puja. Would love to do her other classes and would highly recommend her.

My husband and I really enjoyed our cooking lesson gifted to us by a friend. Puja made us feel very welcome and at ease. We learnt so much, how to use and cook with all the ingredients correctly, along with helpful tips and techniques. There was plenty of opportunity for us to ask questions along the way and the end result was absolutely delicious.

Puja was a fantastic teacher, she was friendly and her instructions were easy to follow. It was great getting tips and tricks throughout the class and getting feedback on my focaccia in real time! I walked away with the best bread I've ever made and a practical skill I will be using all the time!

My husband bought me the class as a gift, and it was perfect. Puja is a warm, friendly and skilled teacher who took me through making a range of different (and delicious!) flatbreads. She goes the extra mile, and invited my husband and child in for a tasting too, even though the class was over. I'll be back for a curry class soon!

Puja is an amazing host and teacher. My partner and I attended her class today and both were impressed with the amount of care she put into explaining the process of making the flat breads from start to finish. We will definitely be making these on rotation in our house.

Great class! Puja was very helpful & guided us through each step & very supportive. The class was very enjoyable & now we feel confident to make focaccia! It tastes amazing too

She was very knowledgeable, a very pleasant host and well worth the visit.

What an amazing experience!! The class was so much fun, educational and a joy to be part of. Our host Puja made this so enjoyable. She explained everything so well and I can't wait for my next class

What a wonderful experience. Puja was an amazing teacher with a wealth of knowledge that she was willing to share. Her tips and tricks were invaluable, and most of all, the end result was delicious. Everyone should try her classes!

Couldn't recommend highly enough. Did the bread making with my wife and parents and everyone left with a great appreciation for the class, a belly full of delicious food and knowing a whole lot more. Puja is a considered and thoughtful teacher who takes the time to explain everything to everyone. We will be coming back for more.

We loved Puja and her knowledge of spices was amazing. She was very helpful in answering questions and providing information. At the end we enjoyed sitting down and tasting the authentic Indian food. It was my husband's first ever vegetarian meal and he loved it.

A fantastic experience!! Thank you so much. Will recommend to friends.

I had an absolutely wonderful 1:1 cooking experience with Puja. Puja creates such a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere in which to learn, and provides plenty of time to ask questions. I'll certainly be back for more classes!

Great class, easy to follow and lots of time between steps for chatting. Afternoon tea was delicious

Puja was great and we really loved learning more about spices, the order of cooking, how to roll and make the flat breads and appreciated the different cooking methods for different stove tops!

Lovely class, easy instructions and friendly teacher.

Terrific experience with a very skilled and supportive teacher! Ended up with a great new recipe and some delicious foccacia, even for a beginner baker like me.

Flatbread making was amazing - this was me and my partner's first cooking class of any type. We made three types: roti, paratha, and stuffed paratha. After making them, Puja (the teacher) made spiced yoghurt to eat them with, then we took the rest home.
Puja not only gave us printed recipes, but also explained the main differences in food across various regions in India (spice use, rice vs flatbread). She let us experience the effects of various spices and types of oils, and we had a bit of freedom in the final flatbread. It was clear that she was knowledgeable about cooking.
My partner and I unfortunately went over time by an hour without realising; Puja was extremely hospitable until the end and we did not feel rushed.

My daughter had a great time cooking - food was delicious; great instructions. Teacher was awesome - would recommend 5/5 stars absolutely (my daughter's words). Would even do again. We're looking forward to future dinners!

My wife and I had a great time learning to make focaccia with Puja. She was a patient and kind teacher who helped us create some delicious and beautiful bread!

Puja was absolutely brilliant! Her teaching style is relaxed but very informative and effective. And the flavours of the food we cooked were just simply amazing! Highly recommended!

Puja was a friendly and knowledgeable host. We made a great focaccia and would recommend this for anyone keen to have a fun and relaxed afternoon.

I just finished Puja's appetiser class & thoroughly enjoyed it! The food was delicious and Puja a great teacher. Her clear & detailed guidance have certainly given me the confidence to try the recipes at home. I can highly recommend the class for anyone who enjoys cooking, as well as those who are just starting out.

I was thrilled to be gifted with an Indian Flatbread Making Class taught by Puja. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who has an interest in Indian cooking. Puja was very informative, patient and kind. Thank you Puja for being part of my birthday celebration.

We thoroughly enjoyed our date cooking class with Puja. She was extremely prepared with fantastic handouts/instructions that were very easy to follow. The end result was delicious. Such a fun, productive and worthwhile experience!

I had such a wonderful time in today's focaccia class with our teacher Puja! She made the whole process so approachable and fun, explaining each step clearly and sharing helpful tips along the way. We learned how to make focaccia from scratch and had the chance to top it with caramelized onions, cherry tomatoes, rosemary, and flaky salt. I left the class feeling inspired and much more confident about baking bread at home.

The Indian pop music was the best! Very clean house & clear explanations. We will be back!!!

Had the best time learning with Puja. Over the three hour class, she explained in detail each step for dough preparation, rolling and cooking - including lots of hot tips along the way. Really appreciated the time and care that was taken, and especially enjoyed snacking and chatting at the end. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an approachable, in-depth and intimate cooking class in Canberra.

We got to make fun and delicious food. Puja was helpful and explained why we added ingredients to the curries in the order we did to bring out the best flavour. Thanks!

Fantastic class - easy to follow instructions and process. Great for beginners to advanced bakers. The focaccia was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this course!

Puja explained every step with full explanation to understand the process and effect, ensuring success with the finished product. It was one of the best focaccias I've tasted. Anything made with yeast can sometimes be challenging but Puja made it easy. Highly recommend this class to anyone.

I thoroughly recommend this class. Puja is a delightful and patient teacher who makes you feel at home in her kitchen. I learnt a great deal about the use of spices and the food we cooked together was amazing. I went home with the recipes and will feel confident to cook these at home.

Spent a fun afternoon making and learning about focaccia. Puja was lovely and very welcoming.

This was a fabulous way to spend the day! We really enjoyed the foccacia. Puja was welcoming and full of knowledge!

Excellent class learning to make focaccia. Very good explanations and demonstrations, great tips and tricks to follow and very tasty outcomes.

This class ss was so informative and takes you step by step in making the best focaccia.
Highly recommend this course

A great thing to do with a group, plenty of time to sit around and gossip while the dough rises, taking home a whole fresh delicious focaccia was lovely

amazing class for my birthday!! learnt a lot about culture and the food and spices and how it works with each other!! teacher was very knowledgeable and super kind! i loved it and the food and chai was so tasty!

We thoroughly enjoyed this class. Puja was the perfect host and took us through the technical aspects of making the dough and the various steps to get to a delicious finished result. Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed my class today. Puja was very organised and prepared, there were printed materials for me and she explained everything clearly. I chopped and mixed and joined in with the cooking. It was really worth it, the food was delicious!

Everything we made today was easy and delicious and we can't wait to try them again at home. She is a patient teacher explaining not only what to do but importantly why, so it makes sense. She shares lots of little tips along the way. If you are looking for a great experience or a gift with a difference … look no further.

Puja is wonderful and the food was divine! Thanks so much for the great info and tips!

Puja's class was amazing - heaps of fun, no question was too big or small, and the flavours of the breads were out of this world! I couldn't recommend it more highly if you want to learn a new skill from someone who knows their subject, or if you just want to have fun and eat delicious food!

We really enjoyed the focaccia class. We learned so many helpful tips and ended up with a delicious fresh baked bread. Thank you for a great day!

Had a great time at the entree cooking class! Puja was a fantastic teacher and explained everything really clearly. She put in extra effort to help us understand how to make authentic curries, which we really appreciated. I would thoroughly recommend this class for anyone interested in learning more about Indian food and cooking techniques.

A friend and I spent a wonderful afternoon cooking in this Indian Curry Cooking class. It was a fun and intimate experience.

Would recommend this class for not only the lesson we had, but all the tips and other little recipes from such a warm and caring person. Look forward to future classes

Great class with Puja! Learnt so much about Indian cooking and spices. And ate a lot of delicious food :) would definitely recommend Puja as a great teacher if you want to learn about Indian ingredients and spices and make some yummy food!

This is my second class with Puja. Puja is well prepared, extremely flexible and generous with her knowledge and help. Nothing is too much trouble for this delightful young woman. Puja welcomes you into her home with great warmth. I highly recommend her courses.

What an amazingly passionate teacher. The research and time she has put into making sure the recipe will work again when you get home. The time she takes to ensure you not only understand the steps but the reasons behind them. Her kind, welcoming nature and just the extra effort is amazing. The end result was amazing and I feel confident I can replicate it after.

Had a great time learning to make focaccia from scratch! Puja was so knowledgeable and made it a really comfortable day! My focaccia turned out really well and all the light refreshments were delicious!
