Get a taste for taking your cooking skills to new heights with a mini cooking masterclass at the Gordon Ramsay Academy, powered by HexClad.
These 60-minute classes are the perfect way to try a new recipe or technique when short of time, while still enjoying the stunning London skyline from the 58th floor of the 22 Bishopsgate skyscraper.
Based on a classic creamy and rich murgh makhani, this mini masterclass will take your through creating a delicious butter curry from scratch.
Once you've mastered the spice blend and sauce, there will be no stopping you cooking up future curry nights at home - try it with paneer, tofu or vegetables, add a little more or less heat to suit your palate, or make a big batch to serve a crowd.
You will finish off your cooking experience by sitting down at our window table - legs dangling over London as you feast on curry and rice, all with a well-earned drink.
Your experience includes a buzzing welcome in the Lucky Cat bar, introduction from the Academy chef to new techniques and ingredients, lots of hands-on cooking, and finally a well-earned drink (wine, beer or soft drink) to enjoy with your finished dish.
