Booked the class Elegant and Seasonal Italian with Chef Danushka in Austin (Oak Hill)

I gained a ton of confidence in my chicken breast cooking, and chef's fun energy powered us through! I actually feel like I could do what we did at home... and it wasn't too tough. Even the risotto seemed really straightforward... and those nutella brownies rocked. I'm excited to sign up for another class with chef Danushka again, soon!

Chef Danushka is such a fun personality. She's clearly incredibly talented, but she breaks down her knowledge to make cooking very approachable. Her kitchen space was spotless and elegant - a great date night idea!

I purchased this experience for mine and my partners 1 year anniversary. We did the pasta making class. The final product was delicious. Chef Danushka is a pro. She knows her stuff and she appreciates those that know how to follow direction. So, if you think you are going to go in there and just wing it, you got another thing coming lol. Chef has a dry humor that may take some a little time to adjust to. We didn't have a problem with it. We actually found it quite funny, but I can see how some may not adjust as well. Howerever, she is very sociable, interactive, and knowledgeable. Her home is beautiful and super clean. We do plan on taking another class some time soon. Thank you Chef for being a part of our celebration, and creating such a great experience. Also, I'll practice not calling you ma'am next time around.

My wife and I took Danushka's Italian cooking class where we made a salad from scratch, 2 types of handmade ravioli and a apple & pear rum cake for desert. Chef Danushka was a good teacher and had a fun personality. Her home was beautiful and we had a great time. The Parmesan and ricotta ravioli in brown butter sage sauce was a knockout! Highly recommend!

Who doesnâ€™t love an Italian meal with a nice salad, fresh pasta, and a delicious dessert. The experience in Chef Danushkaâ€™s kitchen was delightful. I learned that all these years I have been holding my knife incorrectly. I learned that when Iâ€™m making a salad dressing, I need to emulsify the ingredients. But the best of all was having fun learning how to make fresh pasta. This is something that I always found intimidating, especially using a pasta maker. Well, the experience was fun! I canâ€™t wait to get my own pasta maker and go to town making ravioli for us and my family. I highly recommend chef Danushka! Definitely planning to come back for additional experiences!

Our experience with Danushka was incredible. Every dish we made was delicious and felt so easy with her guidance and instruction. I especially appreciated how firm, yet forgiving her teaching was. She's also just such a fun person to be around, and made us feel very comfortable and welcome in her home/kitchen. I would recommend to anybody looking for a fun and intimate evening with good food and good conversations!

My girlfriend and I took â€œA Romantic Italian Feast in Veronaâ€ with Chef Danushka, and it was one of the best date afternoons weâ€™ve had. For context, my culinary repertoire tops out at ground beef, black beans, and garlic powderâ€”so a hands-on pasta class was a stretch for me. Chef Danushka walked us through ravioli completely from scratch: mixing and rolling the dough, cutting, filling, sealing, and cooking it. We also made a smoky bacon marinara that permanently changed what I thought pasta sauce could be. Along the way, I learned that sealing ravioli demands more pressure than youâ€™d expect, that whisking is not just aggressive stirring, that ravioli dough gets exactly two folds (not three, not six), and that operating a pasta maker does not require twisting yourself into a yoga poseâ€”something Chef Danushka witnessed firsthand. She was patient, kind, and genuinely skilled, keeping the whole afternoon relaxed without sacrificing real technique. 10/10 would fold the dough exactly twice again!

Booked the class A Culinary Exploration of Asia with Chef Danushka in Austin (Oak Hill)

We had THE BEST time with Chef Danushka!!! We did the dumpling Asian exploration class and it was fantastic. Chef Danushka was very welcoming, informative, and fun to learn from. She taught us knife skills, how to fold dumplings, and so so much more. We loved being able to do the cooking and enjoy the delicious food along the way. Chef Danushka taught us so many tips and tricks that we will be using in our kitchen and cooking. Everything was amazing and just the best night. We will definitely be booking more classes with Chef Danushka!

Elegant and Seasonal Italian. Our chicken dish was cooked great and brownies came out beautiful. The croutons were better than store bought and I learned how to properly cook asparagus.

My husband, our two adult daughters, and I took this class together. We had fun making our own pasta, preparing the meal, and learning little things , like how to correctly hold the chef knife. The food was delicious and the apple rum cake was to die for. We highly recommend Chef Danushka.

We took Chef Danushka's Sweet & Savory Thai Class and it was great! We learned essential and practical cooking skills and made delicious Thai food. The fish sauce for the Thai lettuce wraps was phenomenal and all the dishes tasted better than anything we've ever made before.

First time weâ€™ve been able to make actually good tofu and sautÃ©ed greens thanks to chef Danushka! We had a great time and must say that you have to sign up for this class so you can try the chocolate mousse yourself!

My friend gave me this experience for Christmas and it was the best gift! Chef Danushka was very knowledgable in the kitchen and I learned some things that I will be implementing in my own kitchen right away! The meal was entirely gluten free and so delicious. We made shrimp spring rolls with peanut sauce, Thai pork meatballs with rice noodles with sauce, and coconut rice pudding with candied ginger and fresh mango for dessert. I am excited to make the meal again for my family. It was a really fun time- highly recommend!

Danushka, aka â€œcookâ€, aka â€œmasterâ€, aka â€œsenseiâ€, but never â€œmaâ€™amâ€ (NEVER â€œmaâ€™am), runs a tight and tidy kitchen. I would recommend Danushkaâ€™s cooking class with 6 out of 5 stars for any family who fancies themselves even halfway competent in the kitchen. Our experience was defined by good natured ribbing, fine wine and plenty of breaks for sampling the delectable dishes that Danushka directed a family of amateur chefs into cooking. If I had to compare Danushkaâ€™s tutelage to a kitchen implement it would not be a sandalwood soup ladle, but a cast iron cheese grater because I can only describe the experience as a cleansing culinary flagellation. After a 3 hour session I think I speak for our whole family when I say that I feel as if a lifetime of improper kitchen habits have been painstakingly peeled away from me in a scathingly cathartic hotpot of tears (crying laughing
