TASTE INDIA WITH US!

We get that India can be an intimidating place to travel, especially alone. But that’s where Chef Mum comes in. Since 2015, she’s guided folks from Canada and beyond on her own intimate group tour.

Feeding people isn’t just something we Indians do – it’s who we are. That’s why we designed two very different chef-guided adventures to teach you about our culture through the country’s diverse foodways. Think of our tours as an extension of our pop-up dinners – the food is as bold as the topics at hand. That’s why our tours have featured in Vogue India and Outlook Traveller.

India is a vibe. Once you get past the intimidation factor, so much beauty and generosity will be waiting for you. So, if you’re the type of person who is up for an adventure, culturally curious about everything you don’t know, eager to sample whatever the locals are eating, easy-going and humble, keep scrolling to find out more.

HOLI: INDIA'S FESTIVAL OF COLOURS

Tenative Dates: March 17 to 29, 2027 

Delhi, New Delhi | Agra, Uttar Pradesh  | Bharatpur, Rajasthan | Jaipur, Rajasthan | Mumbai, Maharashtra

Holi represents the transition from winter to spring and new beginnings. It’s also a day where religion, caste and economic status momentarily disappear because everyone is covered head to toe in powdered colour. That is why it’s my favourite festival. We’ve applied that logic to crafting a culinary tour that takes you across the spectrum, from my cousin’s fave kebab shack in Delhi to modern farm-to-table haunts in Mumbai. We’ve wedged the food stops between the usual sightseeing spots, including the Taj Mahal, Hawa Mahal and the Gateway of India. Just like with my pop-ups, we’ll share family stories along the way.

PRIVATE TOURS

Available on request 

There is no way we can travel to India and not talk about the 1947 Partition of India at the hands of the British Raj. This tour traces history to better understand the lasting scars of colonialism on a divided India. We’ll explore (and well, eat our way through) India’s many terrains – from the bustling cityscapes to holy grounds, and more.

If you don’t fancy travelling with vetted strangers or the group dates don’t work for you, grab 10 friends, and we’ll gladly host a private tour for you.

GUEST REVIEWS FROM MARCH 2026

“Jas and Aman’s culinary tour was one of the most thoughtful, sensorial and enriching travel experiences I’ve had. A balance between exploration and intention—taking us beyond the expected and into kitchens, markets, and communities where food is deeply tied to culture, history and care. What made it truly special was their ethical and conscious approach to sharing all that India has to offer. Every meal told a story, not just of ingredients and technique, but of people and region. From vibrant street food to slow, home-cooked meals…every bite felt meaningful and responsibly sourced. If you’re looking for a culinary journey that nourishes not just your palate but your perspective, this is it. It’s a deeply human experience that celebrates food as connection, empowerment and culture.” — Jen from Vancouver

“Our culinary trip to India was exceptional in every way. Jas and Aman organized the journey with impressive attention to detail, creating a seamless experience that blended incredible food, fascinating sites, and meaningful cultural immersion. Our local guides were outstanding. Their deep local knowledge—whether about regional dishes, market traditions, or historical landmarks—added richness to every stop. They made each city feel accessible and alive, and their insights elevated the entire trip.” — Dan and Kim from Ontario

GUEST REVIEWS FROM MARCH 2024

“A culinary tour of India has always been on our bucket list, and this experience exceeded our expectations! We were looking for a unique experience of India led by individuals of the culture, with intimate knowledge and lived experiences of culinary traditions and innovations. Jasbinder-ji and Aman curated a tour that ranged from the best in roadside kebabs to a 10-course tasting menu of modern Indian cuisine. We left city limits to meet chefs and farmers revitalizing traditional foodways and farming practices erased by colonization and capitalism. It was a real privilege to hear from Jasbinder-ji, Aman, and individuals so passionate about challenging stereotypical narratives and educating us about Indian cuisine, produce, and cooking techniques.” — Wenzie and Wendy from Toronto.

“From the beginning of the planning, Aman and Jasbinder-ji made us feel at home and at ease. I will be dreaming of every bite from every restaurant, food stall and every sip of chai for years to come. Most importantly, we got to see, taste, and experience India through their eyes. That personal touch of hearing their stories about the people, foods, places and experiences so important to them, and cultivating our own experiences as a group was absolutely magical.” — Rozina from Nova Scotia
