I can't really explain how amazing my experience at Spice Paradise was. I didn't know about this place. I was walking around and saw the cooking class sign. We walked in and that's how I got to know Rekha. I won't tell you everything about the experience cause I much rather have you experience it yourselves. I will say, DO... More

I hadn't looked anything up online, but saw a sign that advertised cooking classes, and walked in off the street in Jodhpur. Am I ever glad I did! You can always see "another fort/church", etc. but cooking class with Rekha was undoubtedly the highlight of my trip to the blue city. She is sweet, kind, a great cook and also... More

Tips: *Go on an empty stomach *Don't go when you have something planned (that you cannot absolutely miss, like a train/bus/place ride) for later in the evening as the class extended for quite longer *Ask Rekha to point you to other recommended spots in the city *Make sure to buy one of the spices offered in the shop, you might...

Our hostess, Rekha, was disarmingly charming. We learned how to make masala tea, dal fry, saffron lassi, biryani rice, chana masala and numerous other traditional Indian dishes.

Taking a cooking class with Rekha was one of my favourite activities in India. She was so warm and welcomed us into her home. Beginning with how to make a chai, and continuing on to show us many main dishes, I'm now looking forward to being able to prepare a proper Indian meal when I go home! We also got... More

The cooking class with Rekha was certainly one of the highlights of our trip. Rekha and her family invited us into their home with open arms. The class itself was amazing and taught us how to make all of the main Indian dishes. She gave us all of the tools and step by step instructions to recreate these dishes back... More

About the only good thing about being home after two wonderful weeks in India is being back in my own kitchen, which means I can start cooking the great dishes that Rekha taught us! Two of us were travelling around Rajasthan and decided that we wanted to learn how to cook 'proper' indian food. I found out about Spice Paradise... More

What can I say except how wonderful it was to meet a family who not only welcome you into their cookery school but also into their home. My husband and I had done some research prior to coming to Jodhpur and stumbled upon the reviews left on tripadvisor and thought that’s what we’ll do! We found Spice Paradise with ease... More

A great evening spent with Rekha and her husband along with cameo appearances from her daughter and mother! We learned everything from how to use spices in day to day cooking to remedies for poorly tummies right over to how prevent dry chapped lips. You need to sign up to hear the secrets! Cooking however, is the main reason for... More
