COokery Courses
All courses are personally taught by Celebrity Chef & Author Dipna Anand, who is passionate about sharing her culinary knowledge and expertise. Many recipes taught date back to the 1950s and stem from Dipna’s grandfather, passed down through generations, while others are Dipna’s own creations inspired by both Indian and fusion flavours.
