  1. Can you do a tidbit on learning to cook in South Mumbai. I have no idea, but would love to learn! My friends tell me I should just work in a restaurant but I want to learn home cooking in a class environment . . . . any ideas?

  2. Hey Azeem, sorry for the late response...Will do a recce of South Mumbai cooking classes and recommend something. Do you have any cuisine preference? Also, in our latest post, we've recommended a 9-week nutrition course, complete with lessons on how to cook yummy meals without using oil, dairy, and refined or processed products and daily dabba service. We've tried it ourselves, so we guarantee it's great! Call The Health Awareness Centre Nutritional Program on 24361672
