'...A belated than you for our cookery course. I thought I would let you know that Billy and I had a solo run on Sunday, making the Chicken Tikka Masala, Tarka Dal and Pullao Rice. We used our new wok's after careful cleaning and blasting with heat as instructed. We could not get a couple of the spices but it all tasted very good...'

On 15th April, 2011 - Eugene R Scheiman and Pam Armstrong, Broadway, New York emailed:

'...As you know Pam and I travelled over 3000 miles to take your full day curry course. Every mile was worth it. The information and skill you shared with us was fascinating and will be very useful in the next Indian food meal we serve to our friends. The friendly and enthusiastic nature in which you both approached sharing your skills made the course even better. I am thinking of pushing you to create full-day course Day 2, for our next trip...'

Pat and Dominique say: Still can't believe that you travelled so far! We too had a great day in your company.

On 28th March, 2011 - Julie Healey emailed:

'...We just wanted to say once again thank you both very much for the most enjoyable curry cooking experience last week. We shared our meal with friends yesterday and all had a great time. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who would like to learn how to cook authentic curry...'

'...I treated my husband (a retired restaurateur with classical French and Swiss training) to this experience for his 65th birthday - we had visited India many times and always wanted to have insight into how the food is made. We had a really good time - Pat and Dominique were so interesting and we made so much food that we had to have a curry party when we got home! We cannot recommend them to highly...'

Pat and Dominique say: We are so glad that you had a good time with us. We too enjoyed your company and your (Paul), interesting stories of running your own restaurant.
