Indian
food the way Indians cook it
 India's
amazing diversity offers everything the traveler could
ever want in a holiday. Bounded by the Himalayas in
the north and edged by a spectacular coastline surrounded
by three seas, India is a vivid kaleidoscope of landscapes,
magnificent historical sites and royal cities, golden
beaches, misty mountain retreats, colourful people and
rich cultures.
At
any part of the year India can offer you a dazzling
array of destinations and experiences. In summer, when
the subcontinent is sizzling, there are spectacular
retreats amidst the heady beauty of the Himalayas or
the lush heights of the Western Ghats Mountains with
cool trekking trails, tall peaks to conqueror stretches
of white water for the adventure seekers.
Modern
India is home alike to the tribal with his anachronistic
lifestyle and to the sophisticated urban jetsetter.
It is a land where temple elephants exist amicably with
the microchip. Its ancient monuments are the backdrop
for the world's largest democracy where modern technology
has brought the country within the world's top ten nations.
Today, fishermen along the country's coastline fashion
simple fishing boats in a centuries old tradition while,
a few miles away, motor vehicles glide off conveyor
belts in state-of-the-art factories.
Indian
cuisine must be the most diverse in the world. India
has thirty-one states and territories and fifteen different
languages, each spoken in different dialects, and this
diversity is reflected in its cuisine. Much of India's
vast and incredibly diverse cuisine lies veiled from
the Westerner's eye. This culinary week will open up
the country's cuisine to you . . . Indian food the way
Indians cook it.

Cook
East |
| One
of the delights of a holiday abroad can be
experiencing the real cuisine of the region
in the actual cultural setting. For many of
us the cuisine of a region can be just as
novel and interesting as the landscape or
the guilded temples. Even the most casual
cook can be intrigued by the selection of
ingredients, preparation and cooking of the
meals, particularly when the results can be
so satisfying. Cook East has a range of informal
classes with cooking schools well suited for
complete beginners as for people who view
cooking as a satisfying hobby. A hands-on
exploration into the cuisine of a culture
is an ideal way to gain insight and greater
immersion into that destination. |
