It was a privilege to be welcomed to their home, meeting their family and cooking wonderful food! We left with a deeper understanding of Indian food and we will try to recreate the recipes at home 🤗 You can even purchase their homemade spice and chai mixes! Thanks for being amazing hosts and teachers 🪷Posted on Google Александра АгаринаTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Было очень здорово получить такой опыт от местной хозяйки и настоящей красотки Шохбы. Научиться готовить основные (и мои самые любимые) местные блюда и разделить ужин с ее семьей. Шохба была очень приветливой и заботливой, очень благодарна ей !Posted on Google Marco HopfTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
