Vashi2Panvel.com: Navi Mumbai: February 18: ‘The way to your husband’s heart is through his stomach’, goes a famous adage. And Bubbly Arora, Vashi resident sure has chosen the right path. Like she prefers to put it, “Cooking on the whole is an art which has no fixed rules you just need to use your own creativity.”

Arora who started the Delite Cooking classes in Vashi five years back gets immense satisfaction and happiness with it. “My children had grown up and I had a lot of time to my disposal so I thought why not indulge is something that I am good at.” Although in the beginning her family was not very cooperative about her decision she had taken but with time things changed.

She has done her professional cooking course from Delhi and today she conducts almost 25 varieties of classes, which range from Italian to Mexican, from Mocktails to Desserts and from sandwiches to doughnuts, the list goes on.

When she thought of her starting cookery classes it was her friends and relatives who insisted her to take the plunge, “My friends and my relatives enjoyed my cooking and they wanted me to teach them so I didn’t even have to advertise about it. I was very lucky in that sense.” Today she has students who come to her all the way from Sion and Panvel. “I have people from age groups of 16-60 years coming to me.”

Besides just offering classes to all age groups she also has a special batch for working women which is conducted every Saturday and her most famous among the working women are the microwave dishes classes and low calorie cooking’s classes. One of the biggest problems for most students who are going abroad is that they have never tried their hands at cooking but to help them out and teach them how to manage to cook for one’s self she has started a class called the NRI special class.

Besides just offering people a variety of dishes she also conducts a special class for people who want to learn professional chocolate making and also this class is quite a hit among people. Besides this her other classes, which are very famous, are cakes, party dishes and tawa handi dishes.

Well one thing that differentiates her from the rest of the cooking classes are that her recipes are simple and the ingredients that she uses are easily available. So for all the ladies out there, who always thought cooking was a pain, think again!!
