Chef Shan provided a truly beautiful experience during this cooking class. She provided so much information and support in teaching her meals and made the experience meaningful with her insights around Indian cuisine, culture, and her own stories. I strongly recommend taking her class!

Chef Shan was very warm and welcoming from the moment we stepped into her home. We had never done one of these classes before, and I was worried going in that it would feel like an artificial "experience". With Chef Shan, I got none of that. It was like meeting and spending an evening in a friend's mom's kitchen. She walked us through every step in preparing the meal and answered all of our questions. Of course, the food was delicious. It was flavorful and healthy, and tasted even better after sitting in the building aromas while she cooked. While we ate, we talked about her life and our lives. I can't stress enough, this felt nothing like a class or a lecture. Instead, it felt like meeting an interesting person who prepares you a wonderful meal.

My boyfriend and I had the best evening! Chef Shan was a great teacher and made the night super fun. Plus, the food was amazing. We are going to try and recreate it another night! Highly recommend!

Chef Shan was a great instructor and facilitated a fun, interactive dinner. Her kitchen is a nice open setup with the range on the island with seating for 8 which made it easy to view her preparation and steps. The other couples/groups in the class were fun to meet. One couple brought wine and shared it which definitely added to the evening. Chef Shan supplies water, but I'd definitely recommend bringing along your own drink. The food was delicious and I think we can easily make the meal again at home.

We had a wonderful evening learning from Shan in her beautiful home. She is a wonderful teacher and has led such an incredible life. We enjoyed every minute of our time together and left knowing that we could replicate this delicious meal at home any night of the week. She shared many tips for how to cut down prep time, how to correct for any seasoning mistakes (it should be noted that her seasoning was perfect on the first try), and how to substitute ingredients to change things up. We also bought a copy of her book! Thank you so much, Shan. â¤ï¸

I had such a wonderful time with Chef Shan. She taught us how to make the most delicious meal. My favorite part was learning about Basmati rice. She was so incredibly kind and funny, and made myself and all the other guests feel like part of her family. She was very thoughtful and made sure we knew "her life is an open-book", she told us wonderful stories about her culture and her food. I will absolutely do another Cozymeal one day because of this experience. 10/10!

Chef Shan was warm and welcoming. She is a true master of her craft and you can taste the difference in her food because it's made with love and all natural, fresh ingredients.
I learned about the unique spices, cooking techniques, and it was very interactive.
I also was able to mingle with other students in the class which made the environment organic and light.
The food was so delicious and I felt energized after eating the tasty dishes.
I highly recommend this class and have already shared it with all my friends and colleagues.

Chef Shan is incredible in the kitchen and a delight to watch and chat with. She truly understands her recipes and ingredients, and her focus on healthy cooking (that certainly tastes like it shouldn’t be, in the best way!) was a pleasant surprise.
No question felt too small, and overall, she made us feel like we were learning in the kitchen from family.
Whitney

We had an amazing experience. Chef is very knowledgeable kind and informative. Her personality is so inviting she shred some very interesting facts about the meal herself and her culture. I highly recommend her class. It was a very delightful and delicious way to learn
Bridget
01 Jan 2024
Read previous reviews they are accurate in the personality of chef Shan. The experience itself was one of a personal dinner party. I felt at home once she required me to interact with the spices and stirring of the sauce. The care and compassion for her story about home in India was displayed simply in the meal. She did not over complicate the meal. I felt as if my mother had cooked a home cooked meal for me and my wife. It was an experience that I could repeat at home. We did purchase a cookbook for memories. If you need a quick cozy date night this is something I recommend. If you are trying to be interactive with Indian cuisine try a cooking school or more comprehensive class.

Chef Shan was wonderful... an excellent teacher, generous in sharing her culinary secrets, and skilled at demystifying Indian cooking. We had a great evening, and the food was delicious! Thank you.
Megan
29 Oct 2023
I absolutely loved Chef Shan. She taught us so much about the food and its roots and the country’s history in general! Her kitchen was beautiful, and she had all the tools ready for us to get cooking immediately, but not before she taught us the proper way to Cook everything. It was like cooking with a new friend! It was the best homemade meal I have had in a very long time -please don’t tell my mom that :) I recommend this to any date nights or nights out with friends. I didn’t want the night to end. I hope to meet her again.

We enjoyed our class with Chef Shan this past weekend. It was a group of 6. She was funny, charming and very great as an instructor. She really helped us understand the art of Indian cuisine and spices. The meal was absolutely lovely and well balanced with wonderful flavors. I would recommend her to anyone who loves Indian and would like to learn more. There is a book she has written and a tin of fresh spices you can buy. We will do it again.

Chef Shan is amazing! Took a star because for some reason the booking had 4 guests instead of 2 and was told more food was purchased. I had not idea the booking showed her something different as I was only charged for two people.

What an experience! Chef Shan was not only welcoming in her home but also happy to tell us about her life and we felt so welcome and cared for the entire time. We learned some secrets to an Indian cooking we have never heard of from any of the many recipes or other cookbooks we have read. She went over techniques, options, and how to make the cuisine work for you. What a treat!

What an absolutly fantastic cooking experience we had with Chef Shan! This experience totally exceeded every expectation I had when looking for the perfect birthday gift for my wife who loves Indian foods and has always wanted to learn how to cook it! Chef Shan warm welcome and embrace of us to her home, her hospitality, the openess and interesting stories she shared with us of her cooking journey, and of course the way in which she explained and demonstrated her cooking methodology to us led to us to having a truly awesome and unforgettable experience! Thank you Chef Shan! We will see you again soon!

My wife and I attended this class as a part of her birthday celebration. We have been to a number of cooking classes in several states and countries (we enjoy connecting to locations through food). This was by far the warmest and tastiest class we have ever attended. We felt like we were gathered around Chef Shans family kitchen vs. in a sanitized course. We learned cooking tips (the rice cooking tips will be used from now on), met wonderful people who shared amazing stories, learned several new approaches to cooking, and ate the best Indian food we have ever had. I wish I could give this course more than five stars

I booked a vegetarian course with Chef Shan for my girlfriend and I, and we had an absolute blast. She was very good at what she does and is very much a people person. She knows how to keep a conversation going. If you are thinking about giving this a shot but are on the fence or skeptical, I highly recommend taking the leap of faith.

Excellent cooking class in chef’s private home. Chef Shan was personable, had a terrific sense of humor and customized our meal to our liking along the way. Not only did we end up enjoying a deliciously healthy meal at the end; but Chef Shan is also an excellent teacher and we all walked away with a greater understanding of the basics of Indian cuisine. Thank you, Chef!

Chef Shan was such an amazing instructor! She taught us some of the important fundamentals of Indian cooking while teaching how to make specific dishes. She also was happy to answer any questions about cooking and culture! It was not so much like a class as it was like sitting in your auntie’s kitchen while she cooked and taught you all she knows.

I booked this class for my fiancé’s birthday, and he’s been talking about it ever since. Chef Shan was amazing! I knew very little about Indian cuisine but learned so much in the few hours we spent together. Chef Shan is passionate about her craft and culture, and it shows in her delicious food. I don’t think either of us left even a kernel of rice on our plates. I highly recommend this experience.

15 Feb 2021
Chef Shan was wonderful! We were in a group with two other couples and everyone made sure to practice safety measures due to the virus. There were a couple of vegetarians in the group so Chef Shan made sure to make both veg and non-veg dishes. She was very thorough in explaining her process from preparing ingredients to putting them together to make different dishes. Her food was excellent and had a great home-cooked flavor whether it was veg or non-veg. I learned new methods and recipes that I wouldn't have been able to without her hands-on class. She also offers a spice tiffin with hand ground spices and a cookbook for sale. I ended up purchasing her cookbook and have already learned more about Indian cooking since the class. I'll definitely be trying out more of her delicious recipes and would attend one of her classes again.

Chef Shan was incredibly kind and welcoming into her home, and invited us to ask as many questions as we wanted during the class, answering them all with cooking tips and personal stories. The food was incredible, and Chef Shan clearly poured her heart into each dish while teaching us how to do the same. All the food was made from scratch, which Chef Shan emphasizes is vital for both good home cooking and health benefits. She also gave helpful tips on saving time and effort when preparing meals from at home. A++ experience, we will be planning on inviting friends next time!

Chef Shan is amazing. She doesn't just make delicious food; she prepares each dish with pride and love. That's why everything tastes so good. She's warm, very informative and a great teacher. She even remembered that the class was a birthday gift for my friend and celebrated it with wine. We arrived as culinary students and left as friends.

Shan was a fantastic host and chef. She was very knowledgable and open to answering all of our questions. Her selection of dishes was a complete Indian meal. Very tasty. Shan was great with sharing cultural points as she talked about the ingredients and cooking methods. We look forward to another class with her.

Chef Shan is an excellent chef, and her concern for each student is evident in the individual attention she is willing to show to each student. I highly recommend her cooking class!

Chef Shan's food was delicious. The chicken biryani was tender, full of flavor and paired nicely with the channa masala. She even makes her own yogurt to add to each dish, who knew?! Everything about her food screamed "from scratch" as you can't get these aromatic flavors even in the best Indian restaurants in Atlanta.

Chef was great, very welcoming and hospitable. We were a bit disappointed because it was advertised as a cooking class, but we really didn’t learn how to cook Indian food. All ingredients were already prepped when we got there and we didn’t really help cook the food. We pretty much just sat there and watched her cook. The food was delicious but I don’t feel like I learned how to make any of it.
