Join Bridget for an interactive and hands-on Anglo-Indian cooking class in Bangalore. Begin by chopping and prepping vegetables and ingredients before you start cooking on the stove. Learn to make 3-4 colonial Anglo-Indian dishes using Bridget’s family recipes that were passed down to her. Learn to make a rice dish, a curry and a vegetable stir fry or dessert. As you cook, Bridget shares the history and evolution of Anglo-Indian cuisine and how the various dishes got their names. And before you sit down to share the meal you helped prepare, you will also learn how to plate and serve with the right accompaniments for each dish. You will also take home a printed copy of the recipes and a personally autographed copy of Bridget’s cookery book ‘Simple Egg Delicacies’.

There is a certain glamour about Anglo-Indian cuisine and so many stories associated with it, for example the Railway mutton curry that conjures up scenes of leisurely travel by train, of tables covered with snow white table cloths laid with gleaming china and cutlery, of turbaned waiters and bearers serving curry with rolls and crusty white bread in railway dining rooms. Join Bridget in her home in Koramangala where she is excited to share her Anglo-Indian cuisine and culinary traditions. A few dishes that you will share together are coconut or tomato pilaf, country captain chicken curry or railway lamb or mutton curry and cabbage foogath or mixed vegetable stir fry. End your meal with some dessert such as vermicelli pudding or plantain dumpling fritters or semolina or milk pudding.
