Cooking Class - Authentic Vegetarian Indian Flavors

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.

Chef Ekta was a fantastic chef and teacher! Learning to cook Indian was an absolute delight and soo delicious! Def recommend anyone looking for a fun date night or a fun experience with friends or fam.

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!

Cooking Instructions were clear and concise & Chef Ekta is an excellent host.

Thanks for the great experience!

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.

Amazing experience, would highly recommend ?

Had a great class with Ekta, she was so encouraging and made the cooking so much fun. Her place was really cosy and made us feel really at home during the entire class. The food was delicious, and she provided take home recipes so we could recreate the meal at home!

My friends and I had a great time baking with Chef Ekta! She made us feel super comfortable at her home. We played good music, chatted about life, and she shared some great baking tips for us to use for our next baking adventure. Highly recommend! Chef Keta was very kind and informative :)

My daughter and me had a wonderful experience with chef Ekta and we recommend everyone who like to cook and bake to go as well

Chef Ekta was great in explaining the pizza making process. The skills I learned in this class will be really useful when I make pizza at home. I would recommend her to any beginners who want to learn dough making.

She is amazing chef and teacher. What a lovely evening with so many tips and tricks and delicious pizzas !!

All the class was perfect.

My friend and I had an amazing time at the homemade pasta cooking class! The 3-hour session flew by as we learned to make delicious vegetarian pasta dishes from scratch. Chef Ekta was knowledgeable, patient, and made the experience both educational and fun. The recipes were easy to follow, and the end results were absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this class for anyone looking to enjoy a fun and tasty cooking experience with friends.

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.

We had an incredible experience with Chef Ekta. Would highly recommend!

Had a fun evening with friends and Chef Etka learning how to make pasta from scratch and other Italian dishes. Would recommend it to anybody looking for an outside-the-box idea for a fun evening learning and eating with friends.

This was such a fun experience!! Chef Ekta taught us so many neat tips and tools to use for making a variety of foods. She was very kind and patient with all of the questions we asked! 100% recommend!

My daughter and I enjoyed the course (Pasta 101) … nice small class size, simple / manageable recipes … and a wonderful chef. Ekta provided us with clear instruction and shared many of her tips / lessons along the way. A wonderful and worthwhile course.

Ekta's pasta making class was a lot of fun! She was very informative and used our time well. She also provided a lot of personal touches while we chatted which were very appreciated. We'll definitely be booking again!

Ekta was very knowledgeable and the food was great! Would highly recommend her classes!

Fantastic experience! Ekta was very warm and treated us as family. We had great music in the background, an amazing conversation around food and different cuisines, and even got to experiment with the recipe! Thank you, Ekta!

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!

Really fun class! Chef Ekta was super welcoming and helped adapt the menu to fit my partner and my valentines day tradition

Chef Ekta was AMAZING! Me and my boyfriend had an amazing Valentine's day experience learning how to make everything from scratch. We will 100% be doing another class with her. She is very knowledgeable, very patient, and she makes the class very enjoyable. She makes you feel right at home with her cozy home. If you are looking for a new and fun experience I definitely recommend booking with Chef Ekta!

Ekta made this experience very wholesome for us. I would definitely do this again excited to do her next class.

Chef Ekta was outstanding! She made us feel comfortable and was very patient and welcoming. It was a great experience and I’ll be sure to make referrals

It was an AMAZING experience !!! Thank you Chef Etka for this delicious afternoon learning cooking and eating was very fun. Love her explanation and tips. Highly recommended. And our pizza was delicious more to come now !!!!

Chef Ekta is highly experienced at her craft. She provided a quaint yet fun experience of making a 3 course meal while taking us through the science behind the whole process. What started as a class ended up being a lovely dinner with friends. Definitely recommend ?

Chef Ekta was amazing, and made making homemade pasta super easy. She explained everything every step of the way, and gave us tips for when we wanted to try it at home. I would definitely recommend!

Chef Ekta was fantastic and we had a wonderful time. Highly recommended!

Chef Ekta was amazing

Excellent! Looking forward to our next evening with Chef Ekta.

Very friendly session, delicious recipes and a great time!

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!

Very informative session learned many things

Absolutely a blast! Chef Ekta is very patient and sweet, i love the way she did the salad dressing, both margarita and pesto mushroom pizza were so good! Me and my bf had a great experience thanks to Chef Ekta!

Great time learning how to make pizza, would recommend to anyone!

Ekta is very nice and very knowledgeable. She explains the cooking process every step of the way.

She was friendly and welcoming, very knowledgeable about the science of a good pizza! Was a cute and intimate 4 person class. We all learned A LOT! pizzas, Salad and brownies were wonderful. The little south indian appetizer she made us as a snack was so yummy as well!

Ekta was excellent! Really welcoming and was prepared for us to arrive. The receipes tasted great and easy to follow. Ekta made us feel very at ease. Would highly recommend and we will be back

My mom, sister, daughter and I (3 generations) enjoyed a great afternoon learning how to make pasta. Chef Ekta was very hospitable and made us feel very welcome in her home. 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!

Amazing experience! Learned lots of great tips and the pizza and salad + dressing turned out great! Definitely looking forward to re-creating the dishes at home. Also met great people and had wonderful conversations. Would definitely recommend! :)

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.

Chef Ekta was so professional and my friend and I had an absolute blast making pasta - and we learned some really great cooking techniques! Definitely recommend!

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!!

Aa awesome evening learning pasta making with Chef Ekta- she made the whole experience so relaxed and enjoyable! The food was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed this class. Highly recommend!

Chef Ekta was excellent!! Very pleasant, great conversation and we learned a lot! The food was fantastic and she was very accommodating for our vegan and vegetarian preferences. Highly recommend!

Chef Ekta was SOO much fun! She’s extremely personable and outgoing and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. She is an amazing chef and taught us so much! Would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a great night! Will definitely be doing this again!!

We had a a great experience with Ekta making pasta. She is warm, knowledgeable, and an amazing host. She is passionate about cooking. The pasta making class was informative, fun, and really enjoyable from beginning to the end. I highly recommend taking the pasta class with her.

Great experience. Place was cozy and chef was very knowledgeable and well prepared. Everything was as advertised. Would highly recommend if you’re struggling with homemade pizza dough. Everything came out delicious and had enough left over for a second meal. Thanks to chef Ekta for a wonderful experience!

I wasn’t going to leave a review because I don’t want to impact someone’s livelihood but this also cost good money. While the food was great and we learned a lot there were some sanitary issues that cannot be overlooked. First all of the plastic bowls and cups were reused from previous classes, which isn’t an issue unless there’s residue left behind (yellow gunk link was a clear giveaway). After creating the dough we left it to rest and Ekta asked if we minded if she reused some bags from the farmers market. It made us feel awkward, and we clearly can’t say no. Lastly after resting the dough and going to cut into shape, there were ANTS on the table and cutting board we were using. Completely unsanitary environment, would not recommend for that reason. After all was done, and we paid $300 for this class, we weren’t even offered leftovers. Gladly so, because we only put together all these sanitary flags after we left and were discussing what each of us saw independently, but would of been appropriate to get the leftovers for the cost of this class and as would be typically expected for a cooking class. Food taste 5/5, cleanliness and misc. 1/5, overall experience 2.5/5
