Chef Rakhi hosted a beyond phenomenal class. Her kitchen and home is beautiful yet comfortable. She does a great job of breaking down each task into simple and easy to replicate steps and teaches you tips and tricks of cooking. This experience was very engaging, hands-on, and yummy at the end. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning how to cook very flavorful and aromatic Indian cuisine!
