Zinnia lives with her husband and their 14 year old daughter in Kolkata. For Zinnia being in the kitchen is truly a stress buster! Zinnia taught herself to cook after she got married from recipe books and long phone conversations with her mother!  Zinnia will welcome you to their apartment in New Town with a warm smile. While you sip on your welcome drink, Zinnia will share all about her love for cooking. She cooks not only traditional Bengali food but can also fix up a few delectable North Indian dishes. The menu is thoughtfully chosen to feature 3-4 Bengali specialties and the distinctive use of mustard oil and mustard seed paste which is unique to Bengali cuisine. Join Zinnia in her small kitchen for a one hour hands-on cooking class and then sit down at the dinning table to enjoy the meal you helped prepare. Zinnia can offer vegetarian meals on request. Any dietary preferences may be available.

    Before the cooking class started, we discussed in advance what we would make by email. She came up with a menu based on my wishes. On the day of the cooking class, Zinnia welcomed me very kindly. I was able to relax and learn traditional Bengali cuisine in her lovely and beautiful home. My most enjoyable memory of going to Kolkata was meeting her and her family. I am very happy.

    Fantastic evening with Zinnia and her family ! They were all very welcoming and I felt like being part of the family for a very nice evening of cooking class, diner and chating. Zinnia adapted her lesson to my wish to learn Bengali vegetarian cuisine and we prepared wonderful veg dishes in her kitchen. The eggplant dish with mustard seed, ginger and garlic was exquisite ! Instructions were very clear and we extended our chat to Indian and Bengali culture, beyond diner preparation. The whole family made me feel at home and like I was part of the family. I did not only discover fantastic recipes, I discovered the way of life of this wonderful and caring Bengali family and the values of Indian society. An experience that I will remember for a very long time as it is engaved in my heart ! I definately recommend everybody to join this cooking class by Zinnia in order to have a deep insight of the Bengali life.
