With several cookery classes conducted by top chefs in town, you could now don the proud expert hat at home


Always thought top chefs have some tricks up their sleeve that make the food on your plate almost magical? Well, even if they do, they're now out in the open. Move over private cookery classes. Now, several city restaurants are conducting cooking and baking sessions by their head chefs every now and then, giving you a peek into their signature cooking methods.
Recently, Svenska Design Hotels announced the launch of a series of cooking classes on Spanish-Mediterranean cuisine by chefs of Miro, who have been taught by Michelin-star chefs from Europe. Chef Zubin D'souza, Director, food and beverage, Svenska, says, "The motive behind starting a series of cooking demos is to ensure that our participants learn the Spanish cuisine in the easiest and best possible manner."
Chef Aloo of The Tasty Tangles, Khar, is gearing up to teach different methods of making South East Asian cuisine, how to use the veggies and the best ways of preserving the food. "Our environment boasts of an open kitchen where food is prepared live. It is only appropriate that we treat all our guests through the entire kitchen experience," says Sameer Uttamsingh, Brand Manager, The Tasty Tangles.
There's a French cooking class ongoing at Chez Vous, Churchgate, that promises to teach you an authentic French meal. Anisha Deewan, a homemaker, is excited. "It's a great thing that restaurants are also doing these classes now. In fact, I have indeed noticed an increased demand in the last few months," she says. Baking classes are a regular part of Cinnabon. "We use imported Makara Cinnamon and the freshest ingredients. Our 'Bake a Bon' activity has our bakers demonstrate the entire baking method step by step, live," informs Manish Miranda, Brand Manager, Cinnabon.
