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 Authentic Nepalese Cuisine with Chef Shailini in Lexington
Shailini’s Nepalese cooking class isn’t a class—it’s an invitation. From the moment you step into her warm, inviting kitchen, the intimate setting makes you feel like part of a family. A gifted and passionate teacher, Shailini has a way of unraveling the secrets of Nepalese cuisine, breaking down complex traditions into simple, intuitive steps. She illuminates the "why" behind every technique, and her love for the food she creates is wonderfully contagious. The learning extends far beyond the stove. Shailini armed us with invaluable advice for navigating spice aisles and selecting quality ingredients, practical knowledge that brings the vibrant, aromatic flavors of Nepal to life. Learning in the comfort of her home was what made the experience so unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend this class for anyone craving a genuine cultural and culinary experience. You will leave with more than just recipes; you will leave with a newfound appreciation for the beautiful art of Nepalese cooking.

My Girlfriend and I went to our first Cozy meal class with Chef Shailini and had a fabulous time. Shailini is an expert chef who pays great attention to detail, provides numerous tips along the way, involves her students, and is able to cook 5 dishes simultaneously. The meals were practical for us to make ourselves which we now plan on, and the atmosphere was very casual and warm with some good laughs a long the way. The interaction between the different groups attending was friendly and we all sat and ate together with a lively coversation going. We highly recommend this class!

For Christmas, my sister and I got my dad the Indian food cooking class with Chef Shailini. We had a fantastic time, learning to cook with the chef in a relaxed and fun setting at her home. Over the course of a few hours, we prepped and cooked seven dishes: a coconut chutney snack, a gobi aloo matar, a chicken tikka masala, a saffron pulao rice dish, a cucumber yogurt relish, a light refreshing salad, and a rice pudding dessert. Along the way, Chef Shailini gave us lessons about the food -- both cooking techniques as well as history about the dishes. Everything was absolutely delicious, and we left full, contented, and with all the recipes, so we can make them again on our own.

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!

Gifted this experience to my boyfriend! We are both foodies and enjoy Asian cuisine and this class was a wonderful time! Our favorite creations during the class were the momo and the dessert, but everything was delicious and we left with very full bellies! Chef Shailini created a very open environment for all skill levels and was incredibly welcoming and friendly!
Booked the class Classic Indian Restaurant Favorites with Chef Shailini in Lexington
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 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!

The "Authentic Nepalese Cuisine" class with Chef Shailini was absolutely amazing. Not only was the food excellent, but Chef Shailini was an incredible host who really made us feel at home in her home while we were there. We shared stories about our lives and travels as we cooked, and heard all about Chef Shailini's experiences traveling, teaching, and cooking. It really felt like gathering around the kitchen and table with a friend we hadn't seen in a while. We learned so much about Nepalese cuisine and cooking, and Chef Shailini was sensitive and accommodating to our allergen information. It bears repeating that the food was fantastic, and we got to cook and eat a wide variety of dishes that all came together beautifully. I would wholeheartedly recommend this class!

Booked the class Bake French Macarons at a Craft Distillery with Chef Rita in Everett
We had a great time in Chef Rita’s Macaron making class and learned so much! Who knew that making these four-ingredient cookies would include such an involved process. The class was less about the actual recipe and more about learning baking techniques, proper process, creating the right dough consistency, and proper cookie handling & filling. The class was so interesting and Chef Rita made it fun along the way. The result was a perfect macaron that was truly delicious. I highly recommend! Thank you Chef Rita!

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.

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.
