About this event
Chat+Learn brings you the first in its cooking series focusing on nutrition for longevity and positive mental health. Paying homage to the traditional Indian dhaba (roadside café) we’re bringing notable dishes to a cosmopolitan city. We believe good fuel for the body powers a healthy emotive state whilst feeding the gut a diverse set of wholesome foods.
Whether you’re taking your first step into the kitchen or have years of experience behind the knife, this class caters to those who are keen on plant-based recipes to add to their daily eating habits. Our recipes are packed with protein, fibre and a good source of carbohydrates. Daily consumption will allow gym-goers, office workers or even parents the opportunity to burn energy with minimal fatigue.
