WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Austin
02/04/2026
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.

Spring rolls, rice noodles with meatballs in a yummy sauce, coconut rice pudding

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!
