Dear Clare and Tania at ‘Seasoned’
Thank you so much for all your hard work yesterday …it was a really excellent day and I found it very inspiring. It helped me understand other aspects of Indian cooking and how I can improve in general.
Please pass on my thanks to Nidhi who really worked hard to make sure that we all understood every aspect of each dish and her explanations of technique taught me a lot. It was a great day. I intend to make the dishes again this weekend.
