Hobby Cooks

Hobby Cooks Hobby Cooks is a home cooking school offering relaxed, hands-on, fun and interactive classes for all! I'm Anita, a Chef, Cookery teacher & food blogger.

I run in-person cooking classes from my base in Northampton.My aim is to bring delicious and healthy food in the most simple way and enjoy it. Whether your goal is to brush up on your knife skills, learn to make an authentic curry, or just meet other food-minded friends, you'll want to sign up for a class or Or, if you prefer a house call, I offer private lessons in your kitchen. Of course, each class ends with a delicious communal meal. In addition, "master" classes at hobby Cooks Kitchen also hosts a monthly Supper Club for those looking to share a meal with strangers (soon to be new friends), discuss food ,drinks politics, and experience world cuisines.

My food diaries-my recap of my epic trip to my homeland -India 🙏🇮🇳

Bangalore → Mumbai → Kochi — a journey through South India’s soul, one bite at a time. 🇮🇳🌿

96 photos. 96 stories. Countless smells, flavours, and feelings that I’ve carried back with me. This wasn’t just food — it was my holiday, my heart, and every classic South Indian plate that feels like coming home. 🥥❤️

From the hottest curries to the coolest coconut waters… from fiery spice blends to sweet, creamy comforts… each city offered something different, yet all felt like home. It’s not just about what we ate — it’s how it made us feel. Alive. Connected. Grounded. Full. 🥘✨

Every single one of these 96 photos holds a memory — a laugh, a shared meal, a new discovery, a familiar taste. And I’m so happy to share them all with you. 🫶
