Overview
Nepalese cooking for long has shared many common factors with the traditions of its neighbours – India, Tibet and China. The cross-cultural influences, because of its geographic setting and historic ties, had a lot to do with it. That said because the country was closed to outsiders for a long time it has a stronghold on its traditions and has managed to retain much of the authenticity of its native cuisines (largely dependent on local ingredients) which continue to thrive, despite contemporary changes creeping into the lifestyle, especially of its urban spaces.
This is a highly rated cooking experience with a unique policy of being able to join any of the two classes taken place each day and refreshingly there is no set-price instead you pay what you feel the class is worth to you. Due to minimal numbers, it is a very personal cooking session.
