My son and I had a delightful time at the pizza making class. Chef Ekta was welcoming, knowledgeable, patient and an excellent teacher. I like the small class size in her own kitchen. We might take some other cooking lessons from her in future.

Chef Etka was a lovely host and educator! My partner and I throughly enjoyed the entire experience from beginning to end! The food tasted great— and she also had us gauge the flavor of the food— tasting at various intervals of the cooking process to ensure it was to our liking. She explained that it’s more intuitive to taste the food and adjust your salt/spice versus following a recipe in a strict fashion. Chef Etka has a calm presence and creates a safe and fun learning environment. Highly recommend! We left with a recipe booklet of the dishes we cooked that evening as well.

Our evening with Chef Ekta was amazing! My partner and I booked the Indian Cooking class and received close, step-by-step instruction with lots of opportunity to ask questions and clarify all the steps. Hearing all about Chef Ekta's background and how she related to the dishes we made added so much to the cooking process, and she was well prepared with all the ingredients and cookware ready to go. We'd highly recommend Chef Ekta to anyone looking for an amazing evening of cooking. We'll definitely be taking everything we learned and trying it at home for ourselves!

Loved the pizza making class! Chef Etka has a lot of knowledge especially about making breads/dough. She's was very passionate about explaining the process and as beginners we were able to learn a lot and execute making pizzas on our own after the class was over. Will be making the the other recipes she taught again for sure.

I took the vegetarian pasta making class with Chef Ekta. The class was well organized and Ekta was very friendly. The dishes are not difficult for a beginner like me to make and I look forward to trying some of the dishes at home in particular the Panna Cotta which I thought was the highlight of the class. I very much enjoyed the experience!

Chef Ekta was so nice and welcoming, she explained each step to me and made me feel comfortable to do it on my own. This ended up turning into a private class last minute and I don’t regret it at all, it was really great to sit down together and eat the food we made. I would definitely come back and try her other classes!

We learned a lot about cooking while attending her class and loved getting to try the food we made. We enjoyed ourselves so much that 2 of us bought pasta makers the next day!!! Thank you again Chef Ekta for a great class!

I really enjoyed this experience. Chef Ekta was a great host and instructor. Cooking, like other skills, requires practice, and though one could watch several YouTube videos to improve, nothing compares to having a professional right next to you providing guidance while you are performing the action. Thank you Chef Ekta.

Ekta is a great teacher. We had a fantastic session. She is extremely patient and keeps her space super organized and clean. She showed us various tricks and tips. The salad dressing was simple but so good. The ravioli was scrumptious too. Thank you so much for the experience and also for letting us take the food home so our families could also enjoy.

The experience with chef Ekta was second to none! She was so well prepared, a wonderful host and teacher, and helped us learn and feel confident that we could apply what we learned with her at home. Her hand-kneaded pizza class was a surprise birthday gift for my partner, and he LOVED being able to ask her a ton of food science and pizza making questions. Chef Ekta is knowledgeable, friendly and fun. She was a real pleasure to get to know and learn from, highly recommend!

Chef Ekta was super fun, professional, and answered all of our questions. It was a pleasure to be apart of her class. 10/10 would recommend!!!

It was a fabulous experience - while we were in Chef Ekta's home, it was very professional, yet warm and welcoming. While I'm not a professional chef, I've been cooking for a long time and have taken a few classes, but I learned more than a few things from Chef Ekta that I never knew and better still, got to try, and as a result, I'm much more confident in my ability to be a little more adventurous. Ekta was incredibly patient, and did a great job making sure we got to be totally hands on, especially with points in the cooking process where consistency/texture changes were happening so we could actually understand how to do everything and monitor properly. It was a wonderful and filling afternoon!!
