Meet Your Teacher
Sabra Kader
Sabra learned to cook from her mother over 40 years ago, and those family recipes — passed down through generations — are the foundation of everything she creates at Mumbai Bites.
A winner of Chef of the Year at the Bradford Curry Awards, Sabra has supplied Morrisons with her famous recipes and built Mumbai Bites into one of Bradford's most loved restaurants.
Now she's opening her kitchen to you. In these intimate, hands-on classes, Sabra shares the techniques, spice blends, and family secrets that make her cooking unforgettable — whether you're a complete beginner or a confident cook looking to level up.
