About Culinary Workshops
Why Join Our Culinary Workshops
I’m all about turning weekends into something memorable. These workshops aren’t just about recipes - it’s about enjoying that feeling of making food with your own hands and sitting together to eat what you cooked. No pressure if you’re a newbie or you burn toast at home, honestly, everyone finds their groove here.
What You’ll Actually Do
- Get messy with hands-on cooking sessions - you’ll be rolling pasta, folding dim sum, or icing cupcakes, not just watching someone else do it.
- No need to know fancy techniques. Even if your chopping is all over the place, you’ll still end up making something tasty.
- It’s always a group cooking experience. We cook, chat, and then eat together - sometimes, that’s the best bit.
- We team up with legit chefs and real culinary schools, and our spaces are always vibey - think cafes, cool restaurants, not boring classrooms.
What’s on the Menu?
- Artisanal pasta making, pizza, and classic Italian desserts like tiramisu.
- Roll your own sushi, master dim sum folding, or whip up ramen from scratch.
- Baking workshops for adults that cover breads, cupcakes, brownies, and even collabs with Magnolia Bakery.
- Sometimes, we go offbeat with bean-to-bar chocolate, Spanish tapas, or even kombucha brewing.
What Makes This Different
I like sharing the little stories behind each dish - random trivia, food history, or fun facts you’ll remember. Our sessions happen in Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Goa. If you’re curious, a bit hungry, or just want to do something different with your weekend, this is for you.

My Story
Ever had a weekend that actually felt new? That’s why Trove Experiences exists. We’re just a bunch of super curious folks, always poking around for something different. Watching strangers laugh over board games or someone light up making their own perfume – that’s our jam. From quiet sound baths to fiery glassblowing, we chase those moments of wow. We don’t do boring events. We mix, create, and help you find wonder, one weird, joyful workshop at a time.
