Booked the class Classic Indian Restaurant Favorites with Chef Shailini in Lexington
Chef Shailini was wonderful and went above and beyond to make our night special! Everything was delicious and I can’t wait to impress all my friends by making them some delicious chicken tikka masala! This experience was a surprise birthday present for my dad and it was a BIG hit—what a blast! Will definitely do some more in the future!

Booked the class Classic Indian Restaurant Favorites with Chef Shailini in Lexington
This was my second class with Chef Shailini, and it confirmed why I came back. The menu—Kachumbar, Aloo Gobi Mataar, Chicken Tikka Masala, Raita, Dhania Chutney, Saffron Pulao, and Kheer—hit all the “restaurant favorite†notes, but the real value was learning the how behind each dish. Shailini had everything organized, explained the purpose of each spice, and showed simple techniques that raised our confidence: how to bloom spices properly, build a bright chutney, and get tender chicken without drying it out. The pacing was perfect—hands-on without feeling rushed—and she offered considered spice heat levels. As in my first class with her, the setting was warm and welcoming; everyone felt comfortable asking questions and tasting along the way. I cannot wait to receive the recipes and attempt to try like what I did after the first class. If you’re curious about Indian cooking (beginner or returning student), this class delivers: practical skills, great flavors, and a host who truly cares about teaching. Highly recommended. — Han Chang

We had such an incredible experience with Chef Shailini from start to finish! She was extremely accommodating and was very flexible working with me to schedule a time on the day of my wife's birthday. The food was spectacular as was her instruction. We will be using her recipes for years to come. She shared many wonderful and engaging stories about her experience as a chef and about the origins of Indian cuisine. We would highly recommend her class!

I had the pleasure of meeting and cooking with Chef Shailini. The menu and suggestions for drink were sent ahead of time. Chef Shailini took us step by step on how to make the dishes and introduced the class to the aromatic South Asian spices-- most importantly she suggested where and what brands to buy for the best result. For myself with Middle Eastern background , some of the aroma and the similarities of the dishes brought back sweet childhood memories of my mother land. The menu was chuck full of delicious food. The richness and variety of food was a treat for the senses. Cheft Shailini told many good stories about the ingredients, the food and the culture which further enhanced the experience. After satisfying the palate with food and desert, we ended the night with Indian dance that Chef Shailini led. Thank you Chef Shailini, I enjoyed this experience and highly recommend it to others.

Chef Sha was amazing! We had a great time cooking with her and we learned so much. She also loved learning about us and the group of people we were with.

Chef Shailini is spectacular. She personalized the evening as we are vegetarian, kept it relaxing, educational, engaging and accommodating. She walked through each step, had us chopping, prepping, and participating in the experience. She also shared tips with us on what to do and where to get spices for our own kitchen. We will be back for another class with her in the near future!

My partner and I had such an incredible experience at Chef Shailini’s Indian cooking class! She goes above and beyond at every turn to make sure we had such a good experience. She taught us how to best prepare each dish, where to find the ingredients, and the proper cooking techniques. We also had so much fun meeting new people - we had great conversations with a brother and sister who also took the class. We will definitely be taking one of her other classes in the near future! I recommend everyone to take a class with Chef Shailini!

Chef Shailini's class was wonderful! Relaxed atmosphere, very interesting conversation, and I will certainly try these recipes again on my own. I have already made the kheer recipe three times, and I love it. Thank you, Chef Shailini!

Booked the event The Process of Homemade Dumplings with Chef Patty and Marc in Cambridge (The Port)
Awesome night, delicious food. As someone whose parents are from Taiwan and who grew up making dumplings and Asian food, I can say that this was a pretty authentic experience. Marc and Patty do a great job of making you feel welcome and at ease so you can enjoy your time.

Very entertaining but not as informational. We learned how to make different shaped dim sum but not different fillings so the taste was limited to two fillings and either plain or spinach flavored wrappers.

I really enjoyed the Indian cuisine we cooked in the class. It was very good and diverse selection of food to cook. Everyone got a chance to contribute to the cooking effort and the Chef made it an easy going and enjoyable experience. I would recommend checking it out!

Booked the class Classic Indian Restaurant Favorites with Chef Shailini in Lexington
What a special evening with Chef Shailini at the helm! We made seven Indian dishes, and Shailini had kindly prepared fresh paneer in advance as a substitute for the chicken in the tikka masala to accommodate a vegetarian diet. Surprise highlights I'm planning to incorporate into my daily cooking were the coriander coconut chutney and the salad chopped up with peanuts and fresh coriander. A lovely, thoughtfully planned experience! Photo shows most--but not all--of our yummy dishes.

Chef Shailini warmly welcomes you into her home. She does a beautiful job of setting the scene for an intimate meal preparation and cozy dinner. We enjoyed her gentle style of instruction and her knowledge of the food and the culture is extensive. The class (Thai Cooking) was fabulous. We learned techniques and how to shop for this meal and then got to sit down and eat with the group. It was an outstanding experience and Chef Shailini's stories of her travels and experiences with famous chefs was a extra bonus! We can't wait until the next class!

Taking this Indian cooking class as a family of four was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, our instructor was welcoming and friendly, instantly making us feel at home. The class itself felt like a journey of flavors—each dish built on the last, with fascinating stories, techniques, and aromas along the way. One of the unexpected highlights was getting to know the other students. Cooking together, sharing laughs, and comparing notes made the whole experience even more fun and communal. We left not only full and inspired, but genuinely excited to try these recipes again at home. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a warm, flavorful, and memorable experience!

Chef Shailini was an amazing teacher and host, and we had a great night with great food. From the moment my fiancée and I walked into her home, she made us feel welcome and comfortable, even with no prior cooking experience. Chef Shalini showed us the right techniques and shared her favorite brands to look for when cooking at home. She also told many entertaining stories that kept everyone laughing while we cooked. We made seven dishes and everything was delicious. After the class, she gave us all the recipes and ingredients, and we can’t wait to try making everything again at home. Overall, it was a wonderful experience - we highly recommend Shalini and hope to take another class with her in the future.

This was truly a fantastic memorable event. My wife and I both loved it. What I didn't realize in advance, was that it is not just a cooking class, but it is also a wonderful party. We met a half-dozen interesting people and we enjoyed a festive meal with many courses, which we all helped to prepare. It was the best party of 2025 to date. We went to the Classic Indian cooking class. Next time, we would try Thai favorites. Thank you Shailini!

We made a variety of dishes, but the class was so engaging and well-organized that it never felt overwhelming. The experience balanced cooking, learning, snacking, and chatting perfectly.

My husband and I joined Chef Shailini’s Indian Restaurant Favorites class, and we LOVED it!! Chef Shailini was so warm, welcoming, funny, and taught us so much as well. We made a number of dishes over the course of the night and when we sat down to enjoy our meal, I couldn’t believe how much we had cooked as a group! The dinner was fantastic and we would absolutely book with Chef Shailini again in a heartbeat!

Booked the event Italian Dinner With Delicious Tiramisu in Boston with Chef Gary in Boston (Downtown)
We did a team building event at Cozy Meal and we made ravioli, tiramisu, mozzarella balls, lemon chicken sauce, fettuccine all from scratch! Chef was extremely attentive and he explained tips and tricks of cooking. He also showed us a lot of ingredients that we typically don't use in our home kitchens (like cow enzymes!). The Chef took good care of multiple colleagues with food allergies as well. Everyone pitched in to making the dinner, and it was a lot of fun rolling the dough, shaping the mozzarella, whipping our own cream, designing our own tiramisu and wrapping our own raviolis. In the end, the meal was restaurant-level delicious, the food was ample amount to feed our group of ~15 people. We had a good time all around, and left with our bellies content and team stronger. Thanks Chef! Highly recommend.
