Pippa Middleton

Pippa Middleton

Britain's Pippa Middleton has been learning to cook Indian food.

The party planner - who is the younger sister of Duchess Catherine - paid a three-day visit to luxury hotel Leela Palace in Udaipur , and requested a culinary crash course from the establishment's chefs.

According to the Times of India, she met with chef Kayzad Sadri and tried her hand at producing a variety of dishes, including laal maas, a hot lamb curry, flatbreads, and saffron rise.

Meanwhile, it was recently speculated that Pippa has already begun planning a party for her nephew Prince George, who turns one in July, after The Party Times, a website which she edits, published a feature on celebrating first birthdays.

The guide advised: "Your one year old will feel most at ease with people they know well, so keep their first birthday party familiar and intimate. Usually, a small crowd consisting of close family and a few friends with babies of the same age is enough. This will be far easier for you, too. Hold the party in the afternoon, when your baby has had a decent nap, and they will be at their most sociable and relaxed. It will help to keep the party short, under two hours if possible."
