Ushma Vandra
For founder and chef Ushma Vandra, The Lost Kitchen evolved from a lifelong passion for food. As the eldest of seven girls, Ushma started cooking at just eight years old, spending her time in the kitchen helping her mum recreate traditional recipes that had been passed down through generations.

Lost Kitchen offers intimate Indian and Indo‑Chinese cookery classes led by an experienced chef. Learn to create authentic, flavourful, and healthier dishes in a relaxed, hands‑on environment.
Classes are fun and friendly, with step‑by‑step demonstrations so you can learn at your own pace. With a minimum of 2 and maximum of 6 people per class,, the experience is highly personal and suitable for all abilities — from beginners to confident home cooks. Cooking needn’t be stressful.
Held in our newly built home kitchen in Loughborough, set within a tranquil garden, classes are informal and tailored to your tastes. A welcome drink and starters are provided on arrival.
Please advise of any dietary requirements at the time of booking.
