Shailini’s Nepalese cooking class isn’t a class—it’s an invitation. From the moment you step into her warm, inviting kitchen, the intimate setting makes you feel like part of a family.
A gifted and passionate teacher, Shailini has a way of unraveling the secrets of Nepalese cuisine, breaking down complex traditions into simple, intuitive steps. She illuminates the "why" behind every technique, and her love for the food she creates is wonderfully contagious.
The learning extends far beyond the stove. Shailini armed us with invaluable advice for navigating spice aisles and selecting quality ingredients, practical knowledge that brings the vibrant, aromatic flavors of Nepal to life. Learning in the comfort of her home was what made the experience so unforgettable.
I wholeheartedly recommend this class for anyone craving a genuine cultural and culinary experience. You will leave with more than just recipes; you will leave with a newfound appreciation for the beautiful art of Nepalese cooking.

My Girlfriend and I went to our first Cozy meal class with Chef Shailini and had a fabulous time. Shailini is an expert chef who pays great attention to detail, provides numerous tips along the way, involves her students, and is able to cook 5 dishes simultaneously. The meals were practical for us to make ourselves which we now plan on, and the atmosphere was very casual and warm with some good laughs a long the way. The interaction between the different groups attending was friendly and we all sat and ate together with a lively coversation going. We highly recommend this class!
