Indian cuisine is famed for its marvellous use of herbs and spices, vegetables and fruits – its beauty lies in how rich flavours are balanced perfectly with subtle ingredients. Over the centuries, the cuisine assimilated cultural and religious influences from outside –blending with regional cuisines to create foods and flavours that are now the hallmarks of India’s royal culinary heritage.
The Maharajas (kings) were proud connoisseurs of good food. The royal palaces maintained fine kitchens and employed the best cooks to provide the most unusual and luxurious fare. Often there would be separate cooks for each recipe! But while the days of the maharajas are gone, there’s an effort to pass on that great culinary tradition to new generations of families and preserve the recipes that each royal family claimed as their own and perfected through generations.
At Luxe, we have carefully curated a wide selection of royal culinary experiences which allow you to not only participate in a hands-on cooking class with the royal families but also, sit down and the meal prepared with all them. Served by their butlers, on the finest silverware with each dish paired with the perfect wines, it is a meal fit for royalty and hopefully so is the food, if you were paying attention!
