Good afternoon families,

 

I had an amazing time in India. The cooking lessons were wonderful as they were held in homes and I felt so privileged to be invited into these homes and learn how they cook beautiful, tasty Indian cuisine. The Taj Mahal is truly amazing and celebrating Holi in Udaipur was so much fun.
