At our July session we are excited to welcome back The Little Indian to our groups! Husband-and-wife duo Due Gee and Rani were a huge hit when they joined us just after the pandemic, and we’re thrilled to have them return.

This time, they’ll be demonstrating how to cook a selection of Indian starters from scratch—and they’ve assured us it’s easier than you might think! Best of all, we know the results will be absolutely delicious.

To round off the session, we’re hoping Gee will lead some Bangla dancing, which is always great fun to join in with—or simply enjoy watching. It promises to be a lively, flavour-filled session not to be missed.

Our session includes tea and coffee, it would be great if you could bring along cake or something sweet to share with members for our cake table.
