How it works
Crimson Kitchen offers hands-on cooking classes focused on Indian cuisine, providing an approachable way to explore the flavors and techniques of this rich culinary tradition. Participants receive an introduction to essential Indian spices and cooking methods, crafting dishes that may include appetizers, non-vegetarian entrées, vegetarian sides, and yogurt dips. Meals are accompanied by rice, naan, and dessert, with a final menu shared before each session. Class sizes are intimate, usually accommodating 8-10 people in a home kitchen setting.
For those seeking group experiences, the company organizes private catering and team building events where colleagues can bond over preparing and enjoying a meal together. Options for all-vegetarian classes or menus that accommodate gluten or casein-free diets are available. The company is women-owned and has been operating for over 12 years. After the class, participants can enjoy their creations with beer or wine, and recipes are shared via email to recreate the dishes at home.

Our Review
Updated
Our first impression of Crimson Kitchen's cooking classes is that they offer a unique and intimate team building experience centered around the rich flavors of Indian cuisine. The hands-on approach provides an excellent opportunity for small teams, particularly those made up of creative individuals or food enthusiasts, to bond over a shared culinary adventure. The focus on essential Indian spices and cooking methods not only enriches participants' culinary skills but also encourages collaboration and communication as team members work together to prepare a meal.
One thing to keep in mind is that the intimate setting, accommodating 8-10 people, might not be ideal for larger groups or more analytical teams who may prefer activities with a broader scope or more structured dynamics. However, the option for private events allows for customization, which can be beneficial for established teams looking to explore new experiences together. Additionally, the flexibility in accommodating dietary preferences like vegetarian or gluten-free options makes it inclusive for diverse groups. Overall, Crimson Kitchen's cooking classes are a good choice for teams seeking a relaxed yet engaging environment to foster camaraderie through the universal language of food.
