Get on the spice trail with these Indian cookery courses in Rickmansworth, just north of London in Hertfordshire! Easily accessible from central London by Underground, this cookery centre is convenient and convivial too.

We're sure the Friday night Indian takeaway will never taste the same again once you've learnt the skills to make your own feast of proper Indian food. Both the half and full day classes start with a look at spices - the essence of Indian cookery. You'll learn how to source, choose and blend spices to make the perfect marinades and sauces, with the opportunity to try the methods out for yourself.

During the half and full day classes you'll have time to try out some delectable Indian recipes such as Chili Chicken Kebabs and Paneer (a type of Indian cheese) Tikka. Those opting for the full day get to make a wider range of main courses as well classic Indian starters and desserts.

For this Indian cookery course in Hertfordshire, all ingredients are provided and you can eat your creations there and then, or take them home with you for a fresh, homemade Indian you'll be proud to have created yourself.

Both classes will begin with an introduction to the Cooking Academy. Your experience will then include sampling Asian spices with a glass of wine or cocktail as you learn how to make a range of marinades. After preparing the ingredients you will then have plenty of hands on cookery time as you prepare four dishes. You may choose to eat in or take away the dishes you have created. Full days also include preparing a range of canapés, mains and desserts. Each session can be tailored to suit your culinary abilities.
