Would 100% recommend

Had an evening with Giz yesterday, Giz taught our family of six adults how to cook a traditional biryani and a huge amount of sides. Everything was super delicious, Giz was so friendly and such a great teacher. As soon as Giz entered the house you could feel everyone relax, really great experience!

Mama Dor’s Food is fab

Shared an evening with Giz from Mama Dor’s Kitchen, which was great fun! We all did a bit, and I was surprised to find how easy food equal or better to restaurants or takeaways is to do at home. No contest in future, the little bit of effort is worth it. Thank you Giz!

Mama Dors is Amazing

Mama Dor’s Kitchen absolutely brilliant! Better than anything you can buy in shops or at take away. We had gujerati chicken masala, roasted cauliflower, onion bahjis, green chutney, sag aloo, naan and basmati rice. Giz taught us how to cook it all with her amazing spice blends and it was honestly so much easier than I thought.

We also had some complex dietary requirements and Giz worked around these with ease. Gluten free, onion free, dairy free. Fab food, fab company and fab evening !
Thank you!

Celebrating 80!

We wanted to organise a family event for my Mum's 80th and as we all love cooking - and eating! - thought this would be a fun idea. Cooking with Giz was such an excellent experience. She organised our noisy rabble effortlessly, we learnt all sorts of tips and tricks and the food was delicious! A perfect evening for 3 generations of the family. Thank you.

Amazing food and fun experience

This is the second time I’ve cooked with Giz, the first time being at our home, where she guided us through a number of courses. She was at ours for a couple of hours and we had a lovely evening meal to enjoy.
Most recently 16 ‘locals’ had great fun under the guidance of Giz. We made an array of delicious dishes and sat to enjoy it at the end. Highly recommend booking Giz either at home or one of her cooking courses!

First time experience

First time going. Learnt how to make a decent biryani and accompaniments with stress. Met some great people including Giz, our host and expert! Not only did we cook and eat some great tasting food, a good opportunity to mingle if you’re single! I’m not, by the way!

Such a great evening learning to cook…

Such a great evening learning to cook traditional Biryiani with lots of sides, starters chutneys and Burfee - Indian fudge. Giz made the evening enjoyable and fun. I was so full at the end and it was lovely to meet others. I bought the spice mixes and will definitely be recreating for my family with all the recipes provided. Thanks so much!

A fantastic and fun lesson with delicious food :)

We had so much fun doing a cooking lesson with Giz! We learnt a lot and the food was amazing :) She made everything so easy, with lots of simple practical tips - we will definitely be using her spice blends and trying the recipes on our own from now on. Would really recommend getting a lesson!

I’ll definitely come back again!

A friendly welcome, clear instructions, aromatic foods which makes your tummy rumble.

You get everything at Mama Dor’s Kitchen cookery class.

As I’m a keen cook and also a Sushi Master Class instructor myself, I was so impressed with the quality of foods and information I received tonight.

I’ll definitely come back again!

Curry club

Curry club

I went to one of the curry club nights and learnt how to make samosas and biriyani. It was a great fun night, and the recipes really simple. I love samosas especially, and always thought them out of my capabilities, however, with guidance and top tips, I will definitely be giving them a go at home now.

So simple and tasty

So simple!

The spice blends that I’ve tried so far have been amazing. They’re presented beautifully in glass jars and smell incredible! They come with recipe cards to help you create yummy food, simply.

Everything has tasted great and been enjoyed by all the family!

Highly recommend.

Highly recommend the cooking lessons!

We have been customers of Mama Dor's for a little while; her spice blends are really tasty and just make our curry nights hassle free! We recently had a cooking lesson with Giz and wow, it really opened our eyes to cooking different dishes, the menu was fantastic and we had no idea how easy it was to make stunning onion bhaji's that are far better than anything you get at a restaurant!

I’m a regular Customer of Mama Dor’s…

I’m a regular Customer of Mama Dor’s Kitchen and would highly recommend the wonderful spice blends. Giz is incredibly helpful and happy to provide any advice required. The website service and communication are excellent during the purchase journey. The recipe content on the website is superb and combined with the spice blends I’ve made a number of delicious sand authentic dishes. I cook a lot of Indian and Thai curries and generally make my own pastes and spice blends, however since coming across Mama Doors my Indian dishes have improved - and become so much quicker and easy! As you’ve probably gathered I’m a big fan! 😊

Very happy returning customers!

We are returning customers as Mama Dor’s spice blends are a kitchen staple in our house. Flavoursome and healthy and easy to follow recipes make Mama Dor’s a popular choice for family meals...even with our fussiest eater! New additions to the range mean there is always something new to try. The best thing is Mama Dor herself though; so helpful, offering inspiring ideas for cooking and a fast and friendly service.
