Instead of using her Italian, German and English language skills, Daniela Patel tested her culinary talents on her husband’s friends, and, on their suggestion that she open a restaurant, started her own food business. It features dishes that most urban Mumbaikars would be familiar with, such as stuffed mushrooms, lasagne, ravioli, risotto and tiramisu. Then there are some that are different from anything we’ve had in any of Mumbai’s Italian restaurants but they are all from a real Italian home.

Learn Basic and conversational Italian with Patrizia while cooking.

The Italian Embassy Cultural Centre – Mumbai Section, or Istituto Italiano di Cultura (IIC) is part of a worldwide network of 90 Italian government offices established in all continents with a view to promoting Italian culture and civilization. Among their main tasks, the IICs organize cultural events, offer courses of Italian language and civilization, facilitate contacts between Italian and local researchers and scholars and cooperate with local cultural organizations and academic institutions.

One of two such offices in India (along with New Delhi), the Istituto in Mumbai was established in 2013 and is located in South Mumbai, at Kemps Corner, in the beautiful Kanchanjunga Building, within the premises of the Consulate General of Italy.

Who doesn’t love the wholesome deliciousness of Italian food? Learn to make authentic dishes, minus the meat, and plus a whole lot of goodness.

Studio Fifteen Culinary Centre

When I set up the Le15 Patisserie kitchen in March 2010 the plan was to run baking and cooking classes out of it. And we did exactly that, with weekend classes every month for three years. Then, there came a point at which I felt that we could do a lot more with a kitchen space that was dedicated to culinary workshops. I started looking for this dream space two years ago; eventually – and luckily – I found it right next to the Le15 Kitchen.

Thus, was born Studio Fifteen. I see this as a culinary hub for everything from workshops, to private lessons and corporate training sessions, to pop-up meals and chef collaborations. Our classes will be aimed at everyone who just wants to learn how to cook or bake in a fun atmosphere. Plus, Studio Fifteen will have a small store, where you can buy ingredients that are difficult to source in Mumbai.

While food remains at the heart of Studio Fifteen, I am excited to explore newer avenues, and encourage cross-pollination of ideas and disciplines. The mission of this new space is to encourage people to absorb and share knowledge. After all, it is born of my own constant need to keep learning and growing.
