What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Meet your host Sundari at her home in the Adyar neighborhood of Chennai. Please check the 'Before you go' section on your voucher for the exact address, the above only offers neighbourhood details, and not the exact address. Exact address can be found in your ticket upon confirmation.
What to expect
Next, join Sundari in her kitchen for an engaging hands-on cooking session, where you’ll prepare 4-5 flavorful South Indian vegetarian dishes. After cooking, enjoy your creations the local way - eating with your hands on stainless steel plates or fresh banana leaves.
Afterward, take a stroll to the nearby Sastri Nagar neighborhood supermarket, a more convenient and immersive alternative to the crowded open market. Here, Sundari will guide you through the vibrant array of South Indian spices, fresh produce, and condiments, offering insights into their uses and significance in local cuisine. She can also help you purchase any spices you want to take home.
This immersive experience is perfect for anyone seeking authentic flavors and heartfelt hospitality.
