Amazing course. We had a mix bag of guests attend with families, date night couples, and solo adventurers and the course was perfect for all. Chef Shailini brings delicious recipes and takes the time to explain/demonstrate each step of the baking process to continuously engage the crowd. On top of that, Chef Shailini creates a warm, familial environment in which we all sat around her own dining room table, ate the delicious food we made, and shared stories as a group. Couldn't ask for a better way to spend a cold January evening, 10/10 would absolutely recommend.

I did not know what to expect especially being in a group with other people. Chef Shailini made everyone comfortable and gave everyone the opportunity to participate at their comfort level I would recommend this class and would be interested in trying other classes. Overall a great experience!

Chef Shailini was a knowledgeable and gracious host. Plenty of space in her kitchen for lots of cooks of varying experience. Even the more handy of us learned a thing or two and had fun during the process. We had the kids with us and they had fun to, so recommend for families and friends alike.

Last year for my birthday, my partner surprised me with a remarkable private baking class, expertly conducted by Chef Shailini. From the get-go, Chef Shailini's warmth and expertise in baking shone through. She was not only skilled but also genuinely passionate about teaching, creating an environment that was both instructional and incredibly enjoyable. Her kitchen, where the class was held, was a notable highlight – spacious, beautifully decorated, and exuding a cozy ambiance that made us feel instantly at ease. The process of arranging a private session for just the two of us was seamless, thanks to Shailini's fairness and flexibility in negotiating the price. Her approach was hands-on, guiding us through the steps of baking while also allowing us to have our moments of discovery and creativity. Both me and my partner are beginners in cooking and we were both able to follow through all the steps and she was also willing to help by doing the harder or trickier steps or answer questions along the way. We baked three mouth-watering dishes: a classic French apple tart, adorable mini cheesecakes, and a decadent chocolate cake that was simply out of this world. Each recipe was expertly taught, ensuring that we understood every step of the process. Shailini's tips and tricks were invaluable, clearly coming from a place of deep knowledge and experience. A delightful surprise was the break in the middle of the class, where we were treated to the most flavorful beet hummus I've ever had. It was a thoughtful touch that added to the overall experience, making it feel more like a gathering among friends than a formal class. What made this class stand out was not just the cooking but the whole experience. Shailini shared not just her recipes, but also her joy and passion for cooking, which was inspiring. We left not only with a set of new recipes but also with a newfound appreciation for the art of baking. I can't wait for the opportunity to learn more from Chef Shailini. This class was more than just a birthday celebration; it was a memorable learning experience that has inspired me to explore more in the kitchen. Highly recommended for anyone looking to improve their baking skills in a fun, engaging, and incredibly delicious way!

Shailini is a wonderful lady with a welcoming home and plenty of delicious desserts to top it off. She's the friendliest chef ever. We showed up 15 minutes late because of traffic, and I thought she might be annoyed, but nope, she was super chill about it. Shailini's class wasn't just cooking; it was like hanging out with a friend who happens to be a dessert genius. She shared many fun stories that had us cracking up. And her cheesecake recipe—OMG, it was out of this world! Creamy, dreamy, and seriously addictive. Plus, the best part? She gave us so much leftover dessert to take home, I didn't need dinner that night. So if you're going to her class, come with a bit of an empty stomach, especially since she gave us a snack halfway through the class, and get ready to have a blast!

My husband and I really enjoyed chef Shailini's class making desserts. It was great from the beginning, we were welcomed into her home and class began immediately. Shailini was explaining things as we did them and was open to all questions, creating a fun atmosphere for learning. We were baking most of the time there with a break for a delicious snack made by Shailini. We then got to decorate the desserts and eat them. They were delicious and I can't wait to make them again! I would highly recommend this class for anyone that wants to learn how to make tasty desserts that look good

We did Chef Shailini's dessert menu, the experience without doubt was worth repeating. I had an absolutely delightful experience in Chef Shailini's baking class. She effortlessly created an atmosphere that felt like baking with close friends. Throughout the class, she shared valuable insights, tips, and tricks while sprinkling in some humor with her jokes. Chef Shailini's warm and welcoming demeanor made everyone feel comfortable. I'm eagerly anticipating her upcoming Thai class and can't wait to join again!

Chef Shailini’s ‘Next level dessert’ class was such a great experience and definitely satisfied our sweet tooth! It was the perfect birthday present for my wife. Chef welcomed us and made us feel like home upon arrival! The lesson was fun and interactive and everyone had a part in creating beautiful and delicious desserts! We were able to share our desserts together around the dinner table and enjoy stories and share tips with Chef and the other members of the group! Would highly recommend this as a fun group activity or date night out!

This was the first time I enroll in a cozy meal class and taking the class with Cheff Shailini was great!!! The three deserts were delicious but above all, it was her friendliness and welcoming approach, it is evident that she enjoys teaching the class and meeting new people. She is experienced and well organized so everybody could participate. She went above and beyond making the deserts’ tasting special, setting the table for us to enjoy. I would definitively try more classes!!

This class was everything I wanted, and more! Chef Shailini was a welcoming host who not only kept us entertained with the dessert class, but also humored us with hilarious anecdotes and lovely complimentary snacks. She frequently asked us if we were comfortable with the temperature and offered us refreshments, which was such a thoughtful touch! I cannot wait to book another class with her in her lovely home. I gifted this experience to my partner for his birthday and he says it's his favorite thing we have ever done as a couple, and that Chef Shailini is the most charming person he's ever met! Thank you Chef for welcoming us into your beautiful home and being such a special, unique, and unforgettable person.

I took Chef Shailini's class with my 18 yr old daughter who has a deep interest in baking. We were lucky that day to have a small class of just 3 of us. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience from the time we walked into her home to the time we walked out feeling our stomachs full of delicious desserts baked. She was very detailed in her approach explaining each step and providing lots of tips along the way. We felt so confident after making the cheesecake that my daughter and I decided on the spot that we were going to use that recipe to create mini-cheesecakes for the graduation party! That is how easy she made everything look and work. Lots of great conversation kept us busy during the three-hour conversation. Her stories are very inspiring. Highly recommend her class. Thanks Chef Shailini!

We cannot overstate how much we adored the next level desserts class with Chef Shailini! From the moment we walked into her beautiful home, we were absolutely blown away by how welcoming, fun, and interactive the entire experience was. Chef Shailini was more than eager to share her many years of experience and expertise by answering our questions and showing us new techniques that we look forward to using for years to come. We can’t wait to take another of Chef Shailini’s classes in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for the most fun cooking experience!

Stacey

My friend and I had a great time in the class. Desserts were all delicious and it was fun talking to others in the class. Chef obviously has a lot of experience and was a fun low pressure teacher. Advice to others is eat dinner before going to class, you don’t eat there until the very end of class.

Edwin

We had such a great time with Chef Shailini. My gf and I were the only two in the class, so it felt like a private class. The steps were very simple and Chef Shailini was able to explain everything with clarity. The desserts taste so great and we enjoyed all of it! We would love to take another one of her classes.

My boyfriend and I wanted to try something new and have a fun night out. It was hard to choose between all the classes Chef Shailini offers because they all looked so great. We decided on her baking class as we both don’t bake. We arrived and were welcomed with a warm smile, got to know each other for a few minutes, then began to set up. It felt special as we were happily welcomed into her home and enjoyed the cozy setting. We baked 3 things, the French Apple Almond Tart, Maple Pecan Tart, and the Flourless Chocolate Cake. Each dessert was amazing and she was so informative and patient during the process. While the desserts were in the oven or resting on the counter, we took a short break to enjoy a glass of wine and some snacks she prepared for us. When everything was finished Shailini set us up in the dining room to taste all the desserts. We enjoyed it over some candlelight and more wine! Each dessert came out beautifully and tasted so good! The class far exceeded our expectations and Chef Shailini went above and beyond to make it fun and make us feel comfortable. We can’t thank her enough and we plan on signing up for another one of her classes in the future. She is so knowledgeable and skilled. It was a class to remember! We will definitely remake the desserts too!

Shal was a fantastic host and teacher! My girlfriend and I were the only two in the class, so she made sure to ask beforehand if we had any preferences in terms of personalizing the menu. Shal provided homemade snacks during waiting periods along with great conversation. She even made us an extra dessert beyond the three that were planned! Would definitely recommend.

Chef Shailini is a fabulous person and a wonderful host! She shares hilarious anecdotes while teaching a very comprehensive baking class. We learned how to make a French apple tart, a maple pecan tart, and the most decadent chocolate cake I have ever had. While prepping the recipes, she would share little tips and tricks she's learned over the years - which chocolate is best or the easiest way to separate the yolk and whites. She created a very comfortable atmosphere for a group of absolute beginners who might've been a little kitchen shy :) I had a wonderful time and would recommend this to anyone who enjoys good conversation, good food, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Fatima

Loved this class!! The atmosphere was relaxed, the recipes well thought out and delicious, the preparation she did was perfect - allowing us to do just the right amount of work. Then, the best part was getting to enjoy the fruits of your labor by sitting down with the other guests and Shailini. She is pro at teaching, cooking, and hosting. A trifecta of cooking class success!

Chef Shailini was fantastic. From the beginning, she was very welcoming and friendly. As we began to prepare the meal, she would share details about the recipe, history of the cuisine, and personal stories that all mixed together into a very fun atmosphere. The food was simply delicious; I can’t wait to make these recipes for my friends and family. I highly recommend Chef Shailini.

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!

My family had the most amazing time with Chef Shailini! We felt so welcome and comfortable the moment we walked in. Truly a great night. We learned so much and the food was so good that many of the dishes will be finding their way into some of our family meals. Cannot wait to take another class and bring some friends along.

Maddie

20 Mar 2024

Chef Shailini was energetic and engaging! She kept the group involved in the cooking and was very willing to answer any and all questions. As a group we split up and shared all the tasks and duties, so it was a great group event and nice to meet new people. As my first cooking class, I loved it! In terms of what I'd do differently, next time I think there would ideally be a few fewer people so that we were all more involved throughout the session and spent less time waiting for another task. This was also complicated by the fact that now knowing the people in the group you didn't want to too eagerly volunteer for a task because that might mean taking an opportunity away from someone else. Thus, I think perhaps 4-6 people instead of 8 people would be ideal for this class. Thank you, Chef Shailini! I can't wait to recreate what I learned in your class at home! MOMOS HERE I COME!

Laura

18 Mar 2024

Shailini was wonderful! She went above and beyond to make sure that everyone had a great experience. The instructions were clear, the food was delicious, and she even taught us about Nepalese culture and customs.

The food we prepared as a team was delicious, the prep process was fun and engaging and the atmosphere of the night was so friendly, easy-going and exciting. Chef Shailini is an extremely interesting deep person with lots of captivating stories to tell and experiences to share. What a great way to meet new people, socialize and enjoy a delicious meal together while learning lots of new things and connecting with people we would never connect in a different setting! We will definitely take another cooking class with Chef Shailini in the future!

Morgan

Chef Shailini was absolutely incredible, and my boyfriend and I had the best night partaking in her class. We learned so much, had great conversation, were able to meet her son and even end the night with some fun dancing. We certainly want to do another class with her in the near future and would 100% recommend anyone to sign up for her class. She’s beyond welcoming, knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. A great night had by all :) thank you Chef Shailini!

We had a wonderful time cooking with Shailini and learned a lot about Indian food. She was extremely welcoming and made everything fun and accessible (challenge by choice!) and also gave us options to ensure we felt good about how our time was spent. At the end we had a delicious and giant feast paired with pleasant conversation and even a Bollywood dance!

Matthew

Chef Saillini taught us the art of Mediterranean cooking from the orzo salad, to the puff pastry topped with caramelized shallots, to the delicious salmon and everything in between. From start to finish, the experience was phenomenal. We felt at home and comfortable in the space and enjoyed the personal touches the chef made with us and story telling. Looking forward to our next class with this superb chef.

William

18 Feb 2024

Chef Shailini hosted an AMAZING Mediterranean cooking class and dinner. Wow. From the hospitality, to the cooking lessons, the stories and laughs, and to the absolutely amazing cuisine, it was an all around 10/10 experience! It was a perfect date night activity, and we will be looking for another one of Chef Shailini's classes to book. Thank you again for a wonderful evening!

Zachary

18 Feb 2024

Chef Shailini led a super fun and engaging cooking experience, teaching us how to make 7 different traditional Nepalese dishes. It was surprising how most of the dishes could be made with very accessible ingredients, and my girlfriend and I left really excited and motivated to try making them ourselves. The highlight for us was making Momos, the Nepalese traditional dumpling (which we actually learned was stolen from a chinese recipe and integrated into the Nepalese culture as one of the country's most popular dishes). The experience was fun, funny, and educational, and would highly recommend to anyone! Thanks again!!

Maddie

14 Feb 2024

I gifted this experience to my boyfriend for Valentine’s Day. The cuisine we made in class was delicious! Chef Shailini was extremely hospitable and welcoming.

Chef Shailini created a very open environment for all skill levels and was incredibly welcoming and friendly!

Isabel

31 Jan 2024

An unbelievable experience! Highly recommend to all. A great date night. The food is amazing, and Shailini even provided us tupperware to take home leftovers (the food made a great lunch the next day at work too.) She also prepared bonus dishes and provided bonus recipes afterwords. Shailini is warm, funny, welcoming, and wants her guests to feel comfortable. She invites all to participate to whatever degree they're comfortable with. Will be taking a class with her again.

Michael

22 Jan 2024

Attending Chef Shailini's Indian cooking class was an experience I won't forget. It's one thing to create delicious dishes like aloo gobi mataar, chicken tikka, and kheer, but it's another to create them under the guidance of such a talented chef and educator! Her teaching style is so wholesome and made the whole process fun and inclusive. The atmosphere was relaxed yet energetic. The end results were delicious. Thank you Chef Shailini for such a beautiful experience!

jessica

Chef Shailini provided our group with such an authentic but easy to follow cooking experience! She walked our group through each dishes history, had us all laughing with anecdotes, and had us all feel beyond welcome and comfortable throughout the class. The meal was delicious, and even more so knowing we all had a hand in it. I would absolutely take another class with her in a different area of her cooking expertise.

Miranda

21 Jan 2024

Chef Shal’s class was INCREDIBLE! It was so much more than a cooking class. She had some great cooking tips to pass along, but she also had life stories to tell and short funny anecdotes from other classes. I left with new friends and feeling inspired! 10/10 would recommend, and I’d 1000% take another class with Chef Shal. Take her class. You won’t regret it. Worth every penny

Heidi

Mojgan

02 Jan 2024

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.

Sabrina

My fiancГ© and I had the opportunity to take Chef Shailini's Nepalese Cuisine class. Her class was amazing and she takes so much effort and time to make it a special experience. I had a last minute work call which delayed us and Chef Shailini was very accommodating for a late start on a week night. We had a blast making 7 dishes, learning new techniques and spending time understanding where to go for quality ingredients for the dishes. We definitely will be back for another class!

Chef Shailini was welcoming and kind. She made cooking Indian food so much less intimidating by being prepared and giving easy to follow instructions. I’ll definitely be back to learn more for her and am excited to practice cooking Indian food on my own!

Chef Shailini was both extremely welcoming and kind throughout the experience. She has a beautiful kitchen with plenty of room for guests to help cook, then enjoy each delicious meal. We particularly enjoyed the chutney and kheer! Also, her stories helped keep the evening light, and her recipes which she sent afterwards will help us cook these delicious meals for years to come! So thrilled that we decided to join her for the Indian cooking class!

My boyfriend and I had an amazing time at the Authentic Nepalese Cuisine class with Chef Shailini! This was our 3 year anniversary and we wanted to do something special - this did not disappoint! The food was delicious - we particularly loved making (and then eating!!) the momo. Our class was small (only 4 of us total) and very personable. We appreciated the warm welcome Chef Shailini gave us into her home. The dining experience at the end with the real chinaware, cloth napkins, and candles just made the whole night so special. Thank you Chef Shailini!

Chef Shailini's Nepalese food class was an amazing experience! We were welcomed warmly into her kitchen, where she shared her deep knowledge of Nepalese cuisine and culture. The momos and daal were amazing, but my favorite was the Sikarni dessert. Everything was not only delicious, but also very healthy. We're looking forward to our next class with Chef Shailini!

Shailini is an exceptional chef and instructor and created a wonderful, warm and informative experience for our group. She has vast knowledge of food, culture and history and loves to share stories in a delightful and humorous manner. The Nepalese food was delicious, we improved our culinary skills and we were very well fed! I highly recommend this class for all ages and levels of experience.

Chef Shailini’s Nepali cooking class was a truly memorable, informative and fun experience! I got this class as an anniversary gift for my boyfriend who loves Nepali food, and Chef Shailini’s class delivered on all fronts. We loved learning about authentic Nepali cuisine cooking techniques. All the food was delicious and making momos (Nepali dumplings) from scratch stood out as one of the highlights of the class. Chef Shailini’s warm, inquisitive energy made you feel immediately welcomed into her kitchen and kept you laughing throughout the class as she shared her many cooking and teaching stories. I also appreciated how accommodating Chef Shailini was of our dietary restrictions. My boyfriend is vegetarian, and Chef Shailini pre-prepared a delicious vegetarian momo filling and mushroom salad alternative to the chicken salad. Finally, Chef Shailini’s hospitality was unmatched. She set her dining table for us using her fine dishes, flatware, and napkins, and offered plenty of leftovers to send us home with. Needless to say, I would highly recommend Chef Shailini’s class to anyone looking for a unique, fun, and delicious culinary experience!

What a fantastic class with Chef Shailini! We learned to make some of my favorite Indian dishes as well as some new favorites. I know that rice pudding will be on regular rotation for dessert in our house for a long time to come. Overall, the class was action packed, informative and lots of fun.

An absolutely amazing experience! Chef Shailini is skilled, knowledgeable and efficient but also ever so kind, personable, warm and accommodating. The time prepping was informative, the food turned out simply delicious, and eating it together at Chef’s dinner table felt like the most wonderful dinner party. We attended with our 13 and 9 year old children who took little breaks during the prep but loved the meal and adored the experience too. Highly recommend the whole cooking and eating experience with Chef Shailini.

Chef Shailini was awesome! I had a great time learning how to cook so many dishes and she loves taking the time to answer any questions you have. She was even took the time to help me learn how to make a vegetarian variant of the a dish since I couldn't eat chicken. The food was absolutely delicious. I'd recommend taking her class if you want a good learning experience into cooking these dishes.

Alyssa

My husband and I had a wonderful time cooking with Chef Shailini she was so warm and accommodating. We cooked 7 different dishes chutney, chicken tikka masala, raita, veg dish, salad and rice pudding. The ingredients are all very fresh. We didn’t feel like we’re chopping and cooking for hours because we are all having a good laugh with the other couple in our cooking class. Chef Shailini also shared some stories about India. When the dishes are all cooked she set up the table beautifully complete with candles and we enjoyed all the yummy food that we prepared and cooked and enjoyed a nice bottle of wine. This is by far my best Mother Day’s present

Amber

Absolutely amazing experience! I came with my step mom who had never tried Indian cuisines before and she loved it. Not only did we learn how to cook but we learned some history and got to know everyone else in the class! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun inspiring night. Cant wait to try and make these on my own! Such a fun night!!

My girlfriend and I took the Mediterranean cooking class... what a fun date night! Chef Shailini was personable and dynamic — always quick with a joke or a funny anecdote, and very flexible and understanding. The class itself was a good balance between fun, educational, and productive. You could step up as much or as little as you wanted to in the kitchen. The small class size allowed us to get to know Chef Shailini and the other couple who attended. The menu offered a few options for us to pull together a meal for either a dinner party or a night at home. The setup was easy — equipment, aprons, ingredients all provided. And the food was delicious! We would definitely recommend you take a class with Chef Shailini if you're looking for a fun date night or gift for a friend or family member!

Shailini was absolutely incredible! She truly went above and beyond. Providing not only incredible instruction for a beautiful five course meal with plenty of delicious leftovers to take home, but also fantastic homemade snacks. After plating our beautiful dishes we sat in an elegant and intimate dining room. Not only does Shailini have amazing skills in the kitchen, she was a beautiful person to get to know and was very personable and lovely to talk to. I would more than recommend her class, and hope to do it again!

Chef Shailini was an incredible cook and host! She was extremely welcoming, and knowledgeable, and we had some of the best handmade momos we've ever had.

Veenit

22 Apr 2023

This is an amazing experience and I cannot overstate how welcoming Shailini was. They say you want to learn from someone who doesn’t take themselves seriously but also enjoys what their doing. It is clearly evident that Shailini does this with the up most display of passion and love of the culinary arts. To anyone who wants to try her class with others please do so. I encourage everyone to try this with her - especially first timers like myself. This woman will go above and beyond to make sure you have a wonderful set of skills and laughs with the people who you work with. Always take a chance and never hold back on experiences

We thoroughly enjoyed the evening with Chef Shailini. She is personable, energetic, welcoming and fun! Cuisine was delicious and atmosphere with 3 other couples nicely social. We each participated in preparing the ingredients as she described what we were making, and offered fun commentary. While we expected to do more actually cooking its hard to get 8 people deeply involved. Our sit-down meal was wonderful, even followed by a brief Indian dance! Highly recommended.

Chef Shailini's class was informative, inclusive and fun! She is an energetic and professional individual who brings her love of cooking and wide berth of international experience to the "table". Chef Shailini was very personable and made an effort to learn something about each of the participants. The atmosphere was relaxed and she took the time to answer any questions that arose. Last but not least, the food was delicious and I am happy to have the recipes in my repertoire. I would definitely recommend this class with this chef. A very unique way to spend an evening!

This was the best cooking class I've ever taken. Chef Shailini is hilarious, warm, ambitious, and so talented. Having it at her house made it feel so cozy and personal. Her anecdotes about the meals, facts behind the strategies, and attention to detail made me come away with not only SEVEN new recipes, but also some fundamental skills. I will definitely be returning to one of her other classes. HIGHLY recommend!!

There was truly something for everyone and I'm looking forward to incorporating these dishes into my home cooking. We would absolutely take another class with Chef Shailini!

Chef Shailini entertained the group the entire night with amazing stories of her career and traditions from India and Nepal. She taught a 7-course meal while making it look easy! My girlfriend and I can't wait to try to recreate this meal, and hopefully, it will be as good as Chef Shailini's. We would definitely take another class with her, and definitely recommend!

Highly recommend! My fiancee and I took our first Cozymeal class (and first cooking class in general) with Chef Shailini and had so much fun! We had plenty of opportunities to cook, eat, get to know the other people in the class, and get to know Chef Shailini. You get a lot of bang for your buck on this one, as Chef Shailini packs a lot of recipes into a single class. The food was absolutely delicious, and the Chef sends detailed recipes afterwards so you can cook it by yourself (or with a partner) any time you want. Beyond learning how to make the meals, Chef Shailini taught us a lot of tips and tricks that you can use for any level of cooking. Whether you're looking to take your first cooking class or just have a fun night and enjoy yummy food, Chef Shailini's class is the perfect fit.

Grace

Chef Shailini is a wonderful teacher and an even better host. She worked through any dietary restrictions our group had, took the time to walk us through what we were doing and why, and taught us to create the most delicious courses (showing us how to use both store bought shortcuts or homemade ingredients) -- recipes that I definitely plan on making again. She was kind enough to let us all stay for hours to enjoy the meal and each others' company -- thank you for a lovely evening!

Thank you Shailini for such a wonderful cooking class! It was an absolute joy to learn so much about food and culture that we are not normally exposed to. You gracefully were able to get our group to create so many different dishes in such a short period of time and it was such a privilege to make and experience so many different flavors, scents, and textures. We laughed so much while learning how to make these marvelous dishes and we can't thank you enough for all the stories that you shared along the way. It was great to learn hands on while also learning your personal style and approach to cooking. You made everything approachable for a variety of skill levels while keeping things exciting with stories and sharing your knowledge about the ingredients and dishes. It was a great way to spend a few hours as a team and in the end we got to enjoy delicious food, can't beat that!

Every year for our birthdays, my husband and I attend a cooking class. Without a doubt, this has been our favorite. Chef Shailini is warm, welcoming, and wise. We learned about not just Indian cuisine, but also Indian and Nepalese culture. She took time to explain the various ingredients, their benefits to the food and our health, and where to find them. The evening culminated in a beautiful plated dinner in her cozy dining room, where Chef Shailini shared additional stories of her life and cooking experiences. Chef Shailini also took time to get to know us during the class, which made it an even more engaging experience. We hope to be back soon!

What a delightful experience! In addition to Chef Shalini's warm personality, easy-going charm, and homey hospitality, here is what I liked in particular: 1. The menu was "as advertised" - restaurant favorites. Nothing too complicated, things I could serve my friends and family who have not been to India/Nepal with assurance they would enjoy them. 2. Her kitchen (no "I could never afford that even if I knew where to find it" specialized appliances, cookware, utensils, etc.), preparation ("Gosh, I guess it is OK if I buy my spices in bulk and keep them in Barilla pasta sauce jars, I feel better already"), and technique ("Give this a taste - should it have a little more chili? Hmmm, let's add a few more raisins") encouraged me to believe I could actually duplicate these recipes at home in my own kitchen. 3. Her "aside" instructions ("You can use the stems of cilantro, you don't have to discard them like you do with flat parsley", "It's perfectly OK to use mustard oil in your cooking, we've been doing it for a thousand years") were interesting and informative. 4, The pacing was nice - there was a steady pace, little breaks during which you could sit and enjoy your wine, peer into the pots if you wanted to, give something a stir, etc., no pressure to hurry, no linger around thinking "Really? Isn't it time to eat?" Practically perfect! Thank you, Chef Shalini!

Review of Authentic Nepalese Cuisine class taught by Chef Shailini A Poem:
 Wanting to learn how to cook something new, the Cozymeal web site had options to view.
 I thought I would try some Cuisine Nepalese.
 Signing up for the class was really a breeze.
 From Chef Shailini I received a quick note.
 Class will be “fun, healthy, and delicious” she wrote.
 Armed with our appetites and proof of vaccines.
 We looked forward to momos and sautéed mustard greens.
 We pealed and we chopped, added spices and learned 
about saffron and cardamom and how not to burn
 the Lentil Daal and Chicken Choila, we ate. 
 When they were done they tasted so great. Our teacher Shailini at the end of the night 
had taught us so much. She is a delight!
 Her knowledge, her patience, her guidance, her wit,
 made my first Cozymeal a definite hit.

My husband and I and our 2 adult children had lots of fun participating in this cooking class. We all enjoy cooking and trying to make all sorts of cuisines at home, but not all of our cooking experiments are 100% successful. It was a treat to have an expert show us the ropes and Chef Shailini gave us lots of helpful and practical tips. The food was delicious and we also enjoyed the company of our fellow classmates. It was great fun and certainly worth doing again.

Matthew

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time! We learned so much and can't wait to try out these recipes on our own. Chef Shailini also sent us wine pairings that went so well with our meal. The food was delicious and the company and conversation made it so much better. We will be going back!

Chef Shailini is a pleasure to work with and has a wonderful kitchen to work in. She has great stories and explains he thinking about each of her dishes that she is doing with the class. It made for a lovely valentine's day outing. Thanks again.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the cooking class with Shailini on Feb 12, 2022. We learnt a lot from the explanations that Shailini provided about cooking in general and with the focus on Indian cooking. We also appreciated her explaining the intricacies of various ingredients coupled with guidance on what particular brand/types to get from grocery stores. For example she explained that crushed tomatoes in cardboard style boxes are better than canned ones and are readily available in grocery stores. Various other tips on Indian cooking (e.g. rice preparation, pre-cooking, etc.) are too numerous to list here. The dishes we cooked during the class were absolutely delicious! We also immensely enjoyed the company of the other participants with whom we had very interesting and stimulating conversations, not to mention the humor that accompanied light hearted discussions on various aspects of food cultures.

She has such a warm, welcoming, and kindhearted demeanor which made the evening even more wonderful! If you're looking for a date night, reason to celebrate, or itching to learn some new cooking techniques- highly recommend Ms. S's courses!

My boyfriend and I had never used Cozymeal before and booked Chef Shailini's Nepalese cooking class with another couple. Chef Shailini exceeded our expectations! We had a blast, the food was amazing, we learned so much, and were able to take the recipes home with us! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a new and fun experience!

Thank you, Chef Shailini! We had such a wonderful time learning about Indian cooking in your beautiful home. It was a fun evening with your engaging stories and those of the lovely couples that attended. We really liked how you took the extra time to teach us about the best products to buy and how to save time in the kitchen with some insider chef secrets!

The food was great, and we enjoyed seeing the different stages of the process. It was great to personalize the meal a bit based on preferences as opposed to very rigid instructions. Chef Shailini was very hospitable, entertaining, and knowledgeable.

We had a great experience during the Indian takeout factories class. The food was delicious, we learned a lot of helpful cooking tips, and overall it was really enjoyable for a date night. Also everybody was very respectful of Covid and wore masks the entire time.

Jason

08 Jan 2022

Chef Shailini made for a fun experience in her healthy Greek cuisine cooking class. We had technical issues with an oven not working, which led to some delay in finishing our meals. While the food turned out fantastic, I wish that I could have more about why we use certain ingredients or why we prepare the dish in this order or why it needs to bake for this long, stuff like that. Otherwise, Chef Shailini is an entertaining host with plenty of stories to keep the conversation going all night. Thank you for the enjoyable experience!

Blair

Chef Shailini was an absolute pleasure. My wife reserved a Cozymeal class for my birthday, and I chose the Classic Indian Restaurant Favotires which took place at Chef's home. She's extremely friendly and thankfully had the participants chip in to help prep the foods (which I think is better than just watching!). Food was delicious and her recipes will be used! Thanks Chef!

Amanda

29 Dec 2021

I really enjoyed this class! Chef Shailini was really fun to talk to and all of the dishes we made were amazing. In particular, the caramelized shallot and goat cheese tart was so good that I made it again for myself a few days later!

Wonderful night learning not only how to cook food from Napal but also about the culture. Chef Shailini was a perfect host and the food was amazing. I did the course with my husband and three sons aged 14 to 21 all at different levels of skill. She managed to make the course engaging for all of us.

Chef Shailini is a highly experienced and good cook. We had a wonderful evening cooking delicious Nepali dishes. These momos were the best kind of dumplings I've ever tried in my life – I mean it!. She explained cooking details and taught us very useful tricks. Chef herself is a very polite and interesting person, so we spend time in a good company. Me and my friends highly recommend the chef. It was such a trip.

Mandy

This cooking class was SO MUCH FUN! Chef Shailini is very warm, welcoming, organized, a wonderful chef, a great teacher and very generous. Four of us celebrated a friend's Birthday by taking this Authentic Nepalese cooking class. It was an interactive, hands-on class that was very informative. We made the momos first and ate them while we cooked the other dishes. At the end we all sat together and ate what we made. It was such a wonderful experience. Chef supplied us with top quality organic ingredients and instruction. She also gave us recipes for all of the dishes that we made. We just made the momos at home this weekend and we were able to follow her recipe and apply what we learned perfectly. We would highly recommend this class. It is great for date night, a group of friends, or even if you want to attend alone and meet new people. There was a total of eight (including us) in our class and it was perfect. All of the other attendees were fun and we all got along great and had a lot of laughs. Chef Shailini made everyone feel welcome and at ease. This class is for anyone, even if you have never cooked a thing in your life, to the most advanced cook. She engaged everyone perfectly! I can't say enough great things about her or this class. It was awesome and we definitely got above and beyond what we paid for!! I see that Chef Shailini offers other classes with different things on the menu. I think that any of her classes would be an equally perfect experience.

I bought this as a Christmas present for my boyfriend and it was such a fun way to spend Saturday night. We did the “fancy appetizers” class. We made five different appetizers and a champagne cocktail. Each appetizer was delicious and chef shalini was such a great teacher! I would highly recommend this class to anyone. 5/5 stars!!

Emily

18 Feb 2020

Chef Shailini welcomed us into her home and gave a wonderful experience cooking Nepalese cuisine. She helped us pair wine with the food we were eating and sprinkled lots of tips and tidbits about her experiences into the cooking class. Would definitely recommend this class to anybody looking to have fun, learn, engage in delightful conversation and eat DELICIOUS food!

Shailini (Miss S!) is such an excellent chef and warm and welcoming presence! Learning to cook with her was a delightful way to spend a winter Saturday evening. She is overwhelmingly talented and brings a great energy to the kitchen -- we prepared (help prepare) no less than 5 things, including deviled eggs, a savory ham and cheese palmier, spanakopita with spinach and feta and onions, a fried coconut chicken with bell pepper dip, and an eggplant tapenade type dip with crusty bread (I forget what it's called). We also prepared a fizzy drink to help it all go down. I really appreciated the diversity of appetizers -- vegetarian vs. non-, heavy vs. light, representing all sorts of cultures. Miss S was also very forthcoming in sharing her own culinary experience, from growing up in Nepal to her first experience with capers in France, etc. Highly recommend her class -- we're looking forward to coming back for her Nepalese cooking class sometime soon!

Lauren

09 Feb 2020

My boyfriend and I had an amazing night with Chef Shailini! We learned so much about the food and culture in Nepal, had a delicious meal, met some new friends, and felt like we were old friends in her beautiful home. Such a warming and inviting experience. We couldn’t recommend this experience any more. Chef Sailini you’re a gifted chef and a wonderful person. Thank you for this perfect night!!

Mohammad

28 Jan 2020

Chef Sailini provided a genuinely warm, inviting, energy-filled evening. We felt we were being invited into her home: she took a real interest in each of us, while she flew around the kitchen guiding our preparation of no less than six dishes, interspersing her advice with stories of travel, cultural customs, and her inside knowledge of Nepalese cooking. We prepared everything from classic Momos to an exquisitely sweet yoghurt dessert—and the session (which actually ran to over 3 hours) flew by. Highly recommended.

Kaitlin

23 Jan 2020

I bought two tickets to this event for myself and my Mom as a holiday mom/daughter experience. We attended with another mother daughter couple which made it extra fun. The food, fun and conversation was excellent and I can genuinely say I learned a few new things along with enjoying some seriously delicious appetizers!

Erin

22 Jan 2020

My husband and I spent a wonderful afternoon learning the secrets to cooking a delicious Mediterranean meal with Chef Shailini. She welcomed us into her home and entertained the two of us with interesting stories about her life and past experiences as a chef - all while helping us enjoy cooking, which typically is a chore in our household! I would highly recommend Chef Shailini, her classes are perfect for a date night or outing with a group of friends!

Amanda

22 Jan 2020

Chef Shailini hosted a wonderful class, for my friends and me. She taught us cooking secrets along the way, while helping us make five unique appetizers that were better than we would get in a restaurant. Her home was lovely and inviting, allowing our group to catch up and chat throughout the whole class. She was extra attentive to our groups' unique needs for food allergies as well, going above and beyond our expectations. Chef Shailini started class by asking us about ourselves, and really getting to know us. Through the meal, she shared her own story, and asked more about us, making us feel extremely welcome. This was no ordinary cooking class, it was a wonderful evening and we will definitely be coming back!

Amanda Liu

13 Jan 2020

Chef Shailini had a very ambitious evening planned, but her organization and expertise guided us through many delicious and beautifully presented dishes! It started with freshly-steamed hand-made momos (Nepali dumplings) and ended with a dessert of creamy yogurt with mango and spices. She was a gracious, energetic host and made the three hours fly by. I would love to cook with her again, and would highly recommend her class to anyone!

Chef Shailini did an outstanding job of teaching us how to make several delicious appetizers. She made sure each student got hands on experience. She made the class so warm and inviting.

Chef S also had lots of good tips for getting possibly hard to find items and ingredients like papadum crackers, mustard oil, Sichuan peppercorns, etc. Dessert was a truly simple and delicious yogurt flavored with cardamom, saffron, toasted nuts and fresh mango. Yum!

Thank you, Shailini - I loved the appetizer class! I have made many of the dishes several times, since the class, and everyone has raved about them. I was impressed with your efficiency in teaching and coordinating the cooking of several appetizers, all at once! Somehow, everything got done on time and we all certainly enjoyed everything. I also noticed how well you kept an eye on everyone's contributions in making all these. Job well done! ( and delicious too!)

She demonstrated a great passion for cooking and her entertaining personality made this an amazing cooking experience for me. The class was extremely interactive and she took the time to provide some history and fun stories behind the food that we were making.

She involved us all in the cooking process and answered many questions along the way. The dishes turned out great!! I especially appreciated the handouts and detailed recipes and am very confident I will be making these at home. We learned many food prep tips as well - I can't wait to take another class with Shailini!

Many thanks to Chef Shailini for sharing with us her wonderful talent at orchestrating a traditional Nepali meal with us. The spices she used were amazing and the momos we made were spot on!

Shailini was friendly, patient and professional - she was very flexible with the changing schedule of our large family gathering and swooped right in with everything needed to teach us how to make Nepalese and Thai meals. She even left us with an instruction manual on everything we learned that night. It was a delicious, lovely and memorable event for me and my family.
