New Cooking School For Monisha

 

 

Multi-talented Monisha Bharadwaj did a BA in Ancient Indian History, Politics and Economics, and a diploma in natural beauty therapy followed. She also did a 3 year professional diploma in Hotel Management, Catering Technology and Applied Nutrition from the Hotel Management Institute in Bombay, considered the finest of its kind in India, where her love for cooking was polished to a fine art!

She then moved to London where she also got a diploma in Journalism. Meanwhile her training in Indian dance developed and, along with everything else, she also became a professional performer.

She set up her first home in England when she was 22. She tried out countless recipes in order to replicate what had come out of her mother's kitchen in Bombay. She tried new methods, ingredients and combinations until she taught herself a style that she was comfortable with. Although she was a qualified chef, she needed to find a way to pare down the fuss and bother of traditional Indian cooking.

Now she is set to to pass it all on with 'Cooking with Monisha'. All the classes promise to be fun and make Indian cookery accessible. There is an emphasis on home cooking rather than on recreating restaurant dishes and each class with focus on healthy, seasonal ingredients.

To complement the classes, there are food walks in Southall, West London, to familiarise people with Indian ingredients- a shopping and tasting experience that lasts 2 hours.

Monisha also does bespoke classes for groups of people who are too far from London and she is able to go to them.
