I’m Jandeep Bindra, also known as JD, a culinary enthusiast from New Delhi with a deep passion for exploring and sharing the rich cultural heritage of India. My love for cooking was nurtured in my father’s renowned restaurant in Delhi, where I grew up immersed in the flavors and traditions of Punjabi cuisine. Even though the restaurant is temporarily closed, my passion for the culinary arts remains as strong as ever.
I’ve mastered four distinct styles of cooking, learning from my grandmother, mother, father, and through professional training in top hotels. But my journey didn’t stop at cooking; I found my true calling in travel and connecting with people, which led me to create “Explore Real India”.
“Explore Real India” was born from a desire to showcase the authentic and diverse essence of India. We offer immersive travel experiences that go beyond typical tourist attractions, delving into the rich culture, vibrant traditions, and hidden gems of this fascinating country. Our expertly curated tours, food adventures, and cultural activities provide a genuine connection to India’s soul. We enable travelers to experience the warmth and hospitality of its people, savor the true flavors of its cuisine, and uncover the unique stories that make India truly captivating.
To further share my love for Indian cuisine, we offer both online and in-person cooking experiences. Whether you’re joining us virtually from the comfort of your home or stepping into an authentic Indian kitchen in Delhi, these classes provide hands-on learning where you can master traditional Indian dishes. From crafting the perfect samosa to blending spices for the best chai, these cooking experiences are designed to bring the rich flavors of India right to your plate.
Over the past seven years, I’ve transformed what started as a personal hobby into a rewarding profession, serving over 14,000 happy guests. Our services also extend to hosting team events for Fortune 500 companies such as Google, Apple, YouTube, Amazon, and others, where we foster team spirit through engaging culinary activities.
My culinary expertise is recognized through published recipes featured alongside celebrity chefs, and I’m currently authoring my own cookbook. In addition, I’ve recently launched my own line of chai blends, offering a harmonious blend of traditional flavors with modern innovation.
At “Explore Real India”, we are committed to providing experiences that leave a lasting impression, allowing you to explore the true essence of India through its food, culture, and people. Join us on this journey, and discover the India that lies beyond the surface.
