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!

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 Shailini is a wonderful host and chef! The dishes she taught us were wonderful. The structure of the class was great and each course was better than the last. Anybody interested in learning about Indian food or just looking for a fun date night should absolutely take this class. It was worth every penny and more.

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.
Booked the event The Process of Homemade Dumplings with Chef Patty and Marc in Cambridge (The Port)
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.

We very much enjoyed Chef Shailini's class! She is a fantastic instructor. Shailini opened up her home and really took the time to get to know everyone and explain each dish and cooking technique. She made sure everyone had the chance to participate and ask questions. The recipes were absolutely delicious. Looking forward to booking another class soon!

We had such a great experience at this cooking class! The atmosphere was fun and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Chef Shailini, the instructor made everyone feel comfortable—no matter your skill level. The recipes were not only delicious but also surprisingly approachable, and everything we made tasted incredible. What I appreciated most was how many practical tips and tricks were shared along the way—little things that actually make a big difference in everyday cooking. I walked away feeling more confident in the kitchen and genuinely excited to try the techniques at home.

This was the second class my girlfriend and I have taken with chef Shailini, and it 100% wonâ€t be the last. The food is absolutely amazing, and it’s a wonderful hands on experience. The recipes are wonderful and relatively easy to replicate at home, but despite the great food, that’s not the best part. Chef Shailini is an amazing host and phenomenal teacher who brings amazing energy and passion to her craft. She has amazing stories to share and creates a wonderful environment for all her guests. In our two classes we’ve met some amazing people and have felt beyond welcome. If anyone asks me for a cooking class recommendation, there is one place I’d send them, and that would be to whatever brilliant food Chef Shailini is cooking.

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! I want to go back and learn how to cook Thai food now!

We had a great time and the evening flew by. I would say this was a beginner level class. We made 6 dishes. The chef kept things light and interactive and moved us right along. The chef was interesting and fun. I am looking forward to receiving the recipes to try at home.

Shailini’s class was awesome! We made a lot of different, healthy dishes so was definitely worth the price. It was also meals we can easily replicate at home, with ingredients you can get at any grocery store.

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.

My boyfriend and I took this class for our one year anniversary and had such a lovely evening. Chef Shailini went above and beyond to make this experience special, including an extended menu, beautiful china, and accommodating my dietary restrictions! If you love Indian/Nepalese food, meeting new people, and hands on learning this class is for you.

We could not have asked for a better experience for our very first cooking class. We were invited to Chef Shailini’s home for the evening and were supposed to have another couple joining us for the course. However, a last minute cancellation meant we had a private course just for us. We were delighted to be at Chef Shailini’s beautiful home and had a wonderful time. She was a phenomenal instructor and took us through her menu step by step. She was able to pack 6 meals in 3 hours, which flew by quickly. The food was delicious and the company was phenomenal. We would highly recommend this course to everyone and we are excited to try out her other classes!
