This was my first time trying something like this. We weren't sure what to expect but everything turned out great. We love Indian food and it was amazing to cook from scratch and learn about different seasonings. We definitely recommend this!!

Thanks, Michelle and Christmas, for a great night of cooking and eating! Both of you were super teachers, and my friend and I learned new tips and tricks when working our way around the kitchen (especially the whole onion thing . . . NICE!). Thank you for sharing your hospitality, conversation, and cooking expertise!

We had a great time. Chef Michelle made us feel very comfortable, made cooking the meal fun and enjoyable. Presentation of the meal and meal service comparable to a very nice restaurant. We are thinking of scheduling another event with her.

Chef Michelle is the best! Chef Christmas who also assisted in the class was a big help as well. They made the class a comfortable experience with feelings as if we’ve known each other for years. Being a beginner, I learned a lot and really would love to try more dishes under her/their knowledge and tutelage.

Our cooking class with Chef Michelle exceeded our expectations. Underestimating Houston traffic, we arrived a little late and Chef Michelle was extremely understanding. The experience was amazing from start to finish and Chef Michelle made us feel welcomed immediately. My wife and I had a lot of fun, learned a ton and enjoyed our Indian cuisine at a beautiful dining table, in an intimate setting. Highly recommend!

Lauren and I truly enjoyed our experience cooking with Chef Michelle. We both learned some new techniques and Chef Michelle used some ingredients I hadn’t used before when making these dishes. Chef Michelle had the right amount of hands on instruction and then left us to do the reset of the prep for each of the courses. The dinner was very nice. Chef Michelle brought out each course at the appropriate time and then left us to eat in private. It was a very good night and wonderful experience and I highly recommend Chef Michelle.
Thank you so much Chef Michelle

Chef Michelle and Chef Christmas created a wonderful experience for our anniversary dinner. Dinner was served ahead of schedule and the presentation was over the top. We enjoyed the hospitality. My husband is from South Louisiana so he grew up on Creole cuisine. He loved every course. They even went the extra mile to show us what to do with our older fruit. I also loved the clean-up. They were very respectful of us and our home. Every dish was washed and the stove and cabinets were wiped clean.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!! They teach you how to make a beautiful meal, take videos and pictures of you as you go, lay everything out for you on a romantic table and let you eat your meal in the living room. We even had some New Orleans jazz to listen to in the background. Best cooking experience ever. We were in love!!

I love the kitchen but am not so good at executing a menu. I can never seem to time my menu so that everything is completed in a timely fashion. Taking Chef Michelle's class, taught me how to determine at what times menu items should be "fired" to achieve a well-timed meal. I've gotten much better at being able to serve my courses without having to reheat anything before serving.

Professional, Detailed and Customer Oriented. She offered a variety of suggestions to make the breakfast more inviting. She was on time and made sure that everything was set up beautifully. prior to her leaving. She also followed up to make sure that I was satisfied with the catering..
The food was seasoned extremely well, portion size was appropriate and flavors paired well...I also had the opportunity to take her class. The patience and detail given throughout the learning experience was exceptional! I will definitely use her services again.

Both ladies were very friendly and enjoyable but this class was not as advertised. We chose the Spanish Meal which advertises a paella on the page. We did not make paella.. we made penne pasta with chorizo which was listed as an option, but we were never asked for our choice. The cake shown was replaced with a custard that needed to sit for 4 hours after we were done, so it was not ready until the next day, on the next day the "custard" was still soup in a tin in my fridge. The "spanish salad" was lettuce with carrots and tomatoes. I hosted the class at my house and they came with no pots, pans, bowls, or plates and used about every dish in my house. Once we were done cooking (1hr not 3 as advertised) they quickly left and the kitchen was a mess, sink full of dishes, counter covered in food, and floor a complete mess. I would have been better off taking the $170 and buying premium ingredients to cook a better meal myself. Basically, I paid the money to have them grocery shop and prep some of the ingredients and make a mess of my kitchen that I had to clean. I was embarrassed in front of my date for the experience, and it is not worth the money.
