WELCOME! NAMASKAR! WILLKOMMEN! BIENVENUE! Benvenuto!
My passion for food began way back in India when I worked as a photographer on a coffee-table cum cook-book on Kerala, south India. Many years later, while job hunting in Bern, Switzerland, a friend asked me if I would teach her how to cook simple Indian recipes. It started with one class and then more and more classes with friends’ friends, as it spread through word of mouth. That’s when I got the “aha” moment and in 2005 Cook Indian was born. The rest is history.
After 10 years of learning by doing, working in different kitchens, coming to terms with the “Art und Weise” of the Swiss culture, both food and people, I am now living one of my dreams: courses in my own kitchen, which we designed and built from scratch! Thank you all for being a part of my food journey.

"We had an amazing evening! The cooking class was really interesting and fun. Parul was really nice, helpful and patient. She explained everything we needed to know and was always on our side when we needed some help. We managed to cook an amazing dinner with 4 different indian dishes! It was delicious! We had a lot of fun and I can recommend this experience to everyone! It's definitely worth trying:)"
Parul's gift shop
Go shopping..for Christmas just round the corner. Gift someone a unique Spice Box; a special Rolling pin just like my grandmother’s; a Paneer Press to make cheese yourself or one of the many Spice mixtures and Chutneys. How about a Gift Voucher for a private class or a Take-away dinner just for 2?
