A Northampton chef, who has dedicated the last decade to making Indian food accessible to all, is bringing the cuisine’s “vibrant and aromatic flavours” to Northampton Museum with a supper club this month.
Anita Chipalkatty is the founder of HobbyCooks Cookery School, in which she runs masterclasses, demonstrations, courses and supper clubs to share her knowledge and experience with others.

Hide AdHaving attended a number of esteemed food festivals over the years – as well as being the lead chef at last year’s Silverstone Food Festival – Anita is proud to have continued building on what she first established in 2013.
She shared that when people travel from the UK to India, it can be a challenge to not have all the resources and ingredients they are used to using at home. A big part of Anita’s work is teaching people how to create delicious Indian meals with simpler ingredients and methods.
The founder previously described HobbyCooks as “simple, honest food for enthusiasts who want to cook Indian food and learn something new”. “Everything starts from your own kitchen and home comforts,” said Anita.
HobbyCooks’ upcoming supper club is planned for 7pm on March 23, with tickets priced at £45 per person. This is the first Indian supper club hosted in collaboration with Northampton Museum.
