🇮🇳👩🍳 What a way to finish a whistle-stop 24 hours of Indian food inspiration!
After exploring some fantastic Indian food concepts across London and starting today with breakfast at Dishoom Kensington, our TUCO Academy Mini Indian Study Tour culminated in a phenomenally well-received Indian Street Food Cooking Class with Dipna Anand and her dad.
This was our opportunity to move from tasting and observing to actually getting into the kitchen – learning the techniques, spices and flavours behind the dishes and, importantly, thinking about how that learning could translate back into university kitchens and menus.
The response from our delegates was fantastic, and Dipna very kindly stayed after the class to sign recipe books, chat with the group and spend time answering their questions – a lovely way to bring the experience to a close.
Across just 24 hours we’ve explored street food, regional cuisine, plant-forward dishes, sharing menus, breakfast, contemporary Indian dining and live cooking – taking away a huge amount of inspiration for our universities.
A massive thank you to Dipna and her dad for such a memorable finale – and to all our delegates for throwing themselves into every part of the tour. 🇮🇳🌶️
