This class will be taught by Claudette D’Cruz, founder of No Worries Curries, along with our resident Thermomix expert, Janene Babauskis. Claudette’s mission was to turn the ancient art of curry making into an easy, no fuss dinner option in Australian homes, by pre-blending beautiful assortments of both common and unusual spices. Now, with a few more recipes and some insider info, you can go a step further with your cooking, and recreate the feeling of dining in a traditional Indian home with a meal made completely from scratch. Claudette has been teaching Indian cooking classes for nearly ten years, so you can rest assured that you’re cooking with a certified expert!
Our classes are relaxed and intimate, with 24 people or less. Sit back and enjoy a glass of wine or cup of coffee while tasting all the delicious morsels of food being prepared in front of you. Our presenters are always open for questions, and will be teaching you many of their most useful Thermomix secrets along the way. Some recipes will be from alyce alexandra’s cookbooks, while others will be exclusive recipes to the classes.
