Indian Local Cooking Experiences
Learn to Cook the Flavours of India
Indian food is much more than a collection of recipes. Every region has its own ingredients, spices, cooking methods and traditions.
With Stepout Abroad, travellers can spend approximately one hour discovering the basics of Indian local cooking through a friendly, hands-on cultural experience.
The focus is on experiencing how local food is prepared and understanding the traditions behind it.

From the Kitchen to the Table
Indian cooking is about more than following a recipe.
You can discover how spices are combined, how ingredients are prepared and why particular foods are important to local traditions.
The experience can introduce you to the everyday side of Indian food — the kind of food people actually prepare and enjoy at home and within their communities.
