About Hobby Cooking & Baking Classes
Why I Teach Cooking
Honestly, I started teaching because so many people would say, “aDuge baralla antha tale keDiskobedi” (don’t stress if you can’t cook). I was only 16 when I began, and I’ve seen that anyone can pick up cooking with a little push and some good vibes.
Who Can Join?
- No experience? Channagide (It’s fine). You don’t need to know anything to start.
- Young or old, age doesn’t matter here.
- Weekend slots are there if you’re busy on weekdays.
- All you need is some interest. I’ll handle the rest.
What We Cook & Bake
Everything I teach is totally vegetarian, with eggless baking workshops being a big hit. You’ll find options for vegan and gluten-free dessert making too.
- Cakes: Basics to fancy ones like Rasmalai Cake, Lotus Biscoff, and even Motichoor Laddu Cake.
- Breads & Pastries: Stuff like Pav, Focaccia, Croissants.
- Desserts: Brownies, Cookies, Macarons, Cupcakes.
- Global Dishes: Italian, Mexican, Thai, and more.
- Indian Food: North Indian, South Indian, millet dishes, and Jain-friendly recipes.
How Classes Happen
- Hands-on, not just demo. You’ll actually cook.
- I give all the ingredients and tools, so just show up.
- You get to take home whatever you make.
- Printed recipes so you won’t forget anything.
Want to Start a Home Business?
Lots of my students begin for fun and end up selling from home. I’ll show you how to price, market, and run it your way. Loss ಅನ್ನೋ ಮಾತೇ ಇಲ್ಲ (there’s no such thing as loss) if you’re serious.

My Story
Nanna hesaru Varshini. Welcome to my kitchen! ಅಡುಗೆ ಮಾಡೋದು (cooking) is my passion. Started teaching when I was just a ಹುಡುಗಿ (young girl) at 16. Now, 17 years running this academy, 20+ years cooking, and 5 lakh+ students trained. Students from everywhere, some even started businesses abroad. Got the Bangalore Women Brand Award for Bakery and Confectionery, but real happiness is seeing students become confident, independent. Recipes are just the start, I believe.
