It was so much fun learning to bake a few sweet treats in this class! Shailini was very organized and created a truly memorable experience for us.

We had an incredible Valentine’s Day experience making a Mediterranean dinner with Chef Shailini. From the moment we started, she was so warm and personable, making us feel completely at ease. We loved sipping wine as we cooked, and she kept the evening fun by sharing great anecdotes and cooking tips along the way. One of our favorite touches was the delicious snack break in the middle and the final dinner was absolutely amazing. The orzo salad was our personal favorite! We’re so thankful for this experience and would love to cook with Chef Shailini again. Highly recommend!
