Chef Shailini was a gracious host and our meal was unforgettable. She made Indian cooking feel less daunting and had a lot of great tips and tricks to help us newbies approach this cuisine. We had a great time!

I’ve always been intimidated of cooking Indian food, but Chef Shailini totally de-mystified it for me and my girlfriend. She’s a great teacher and made everything feel extremely approachable and I can't wait to try the recipes she sent along at home! The whole night was really hands-on and interactive, and the dance party at the end was such a highlight. If you’re looking for a class where you learn a lot but also just have a great time hanging out in a warm, welcoming, fun environment, this is definitely it. Thanks Chef S for a great experience!

The Irresistible Thai Delights cooking class with Chef Shailini was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. This intimate cooking class in the chef’s home was as welcoming as it was informative. Chef Shailini shared a wealth of practical tips, recommended trusted brands, and guided us through a variety of delicious dishes with ease and expertise. Along the way, her deep knowledge was matched by engaging anecdotes, a warm sense of humor, and genuine hospitality. Generous with both her time and spirit, she created an atmosphere that felt both inspiring and wonderfully personal. Loved it!
