Cookery Classes

You can now book your cookery class below.

Mela has launched its own independent new cookery classes – based on what you have told us you would like to learn.

For newcomers, it’s way to discover some of the secrets of India’s fascinating and unique way of combining ingredients and flavours. And for people who have already attended an initial basic course, each class of our new ones will be an opportunity to learn more advanced dishes.

Classes will consist of a hands-on cooking, three-dish class with instruction from our own chef.

Classes are held at both Mela Restaurants.
Spaces are limited to 12 people per class
Length: about 2.5 - 3 hours
When: Saturdays and Sundays 3pm - 6pm / Monday to Thursday evenings from 6pm – 9pm.

Cost: Was £95.... Now just £40

Mela chefs learn the secrets of Indian cooking in the same way as any child … from their parents. Their formal training and direct experience, in restaurant and hotel kitchens, then sharpen their skills to the level that Mela expects.

Our cookery classes offer you the opportunity to start a similar journey as they share their insight and experience of the many regional styles of Indian cuisine.

These classes teach how to mix authentic ingredients and spices to make great tasting Indian food. You’ll have fun at the same time - and get to eat the food you make or take it home with you.

Mela’s great value-for-money cookery classes can be tailored for home cooks, as a novel corporate event for rewarding staff, an alternative team-building exercise or for impressing clients.
