  Lovely class, Sharmini was so helpful and the time flew by leaving me wishing we had cooked more!
Ingredient list was made simple, with tips on what to get ready... read more before the class started, so you could focus on the actual cooking.
Sharmini made the dish with us, with lots of tips and the benefit of being able to show how mine was and get help if not quite right, which it needed! Fun class, bring along a glass of wine, great way to spend time on a Friday night.

  Great experience Sharmini! Worked really well on Zoom too.
I received everything I needed in advance.
You delivered this really well and such a lovely person! You ... read more taught me a few new things which I didn't know which was make a bug difference to the dish.

  This was a great experience and worked well even on zoom.

She was very patient when questions were asked and worked methodically through the recipe.
The result was a very tasty curry and I will now cook curries and rice in a completely different way!
Would highly recommend Sharmini's course.

  Great evening on zoom with Sharmini making the Kerala curry. It was a real pleasure to see how to create a delcious vegan chick pea dish and now I... read more am confident about making it again. Sharmini's method for rice cooking is an eye opener too and I will never cook rice in my old way again. I am really delighted that I attended this class. Well done and thank you Sharmini.

  Sharmini taught me how to cook her award-winning coconutty Kerala chicken curry on a Larks.live cooking class.

I was so nervous before joining the class, but I've always... read more wanted to learn and lockdown meant I actually had the time to give it a try! Sharmini very quickly calmed my nerves and nurtured everyone on the class through the recipe. Before I knew it, I had made a delicious restaurant-quality curry and, as if that wasn't enough, I even managed to make fluffy rice to go with it (rather than something more akin to a rice pudding!)! This dish is now a staple in our home and I make it at least twice a month. Learning how to make Rogan Josh later this month and I can't wait!

  I have done 3 Zoom classes with Sharmini so far and she has improved my understanding of Indian cookery. The Prawn Curry and Keralan coconutty curry were lovely

  I took part in sharmini's Zoom class this evening and had a great time. I also have attended a vegan demo in the past which was also great. Since then... read more I have cooked a lot of Indian food using Sharmini's cookery book and spice kit.

The instructions were clear and I learnt lots of new things. The end result was delicious and I can't wait to make it again!!

  My first visit to Yorkshire Wolds Cookery School was a special birthday gift and I chose Sharmini's course. An excellent choice and Sharmini shared her love of spices... read more and her knowledge of how to combine them to create tasty Indian meals for our friends and family. The whole experience was amazing and it has inspired me to try more of the dishes in Sharmini's recipe book. I've found new uses for the crop of tomatoes from my greenhouse! Since returning from the day I've consolidated my learning and cooked a number of the dishes and so far they've been very well received and I'm enjoying a new confidence with Indian cookery. Sharmini is a lovely lady and very generous with her patience as we learned to take our time re-creating the recipes, many of them handed down to Sharmini from her family.
