About the chef

Vidya

India

Namaste! My name is Vidya, I am from India! A self taught Indian Home cook with a lifelong passion for sharing the bold and beautiful flavours of traditional Indian cuisine. Raised in a family where food brought everyone together. I learned to cook by watching and helping my mother prepare everything from everyday rotis to elaborate festival feasts. 

Now based in London, I teach hands-on cooking that makes Indian cooking approachable, fun and deeply authentic. My focus is on vegetarian meals.
