What a warm and wonderful evening of food prep, conversation, education and then devouring the many delicious Thai dishes we cooked. Chef Shailini was a delight and kept us all involved with our tasks while we learned about the food and its origin. Shailini is a superb story teller and an expert in making everyone feel at ease -no matter their cooking experience. Her home was welcoming and her personality a delight! Highly recommend experiencing one of her cooking classes. She clearly has a passion for food and a desire to share that love of cooking with her students (young and old!)

Chef Shailini was wonderful and went above and beyond to make our night special! Everything was delicious and I can’t wait to impress all my friends by making them some delicious chicken tikka masala! This experience was a surprise birthday present for my dad and it was a BIG hit—what a blast! Will definitely do some more in the future!

We had a great night w chef Shailini! 3 cpls attended our Thai night, we all worked together to prepare 6 different dishes, thanks to the host and chef, all the ingredients were super fresh and best kind. Lots of the prep were done before class allowing us to enjoy so much more. Everyone had such a nice time in her home, the night went late and full of smiles.

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!

My wife and I had a wonderful experience with chef Shailini. She gracefully welcomed us into her home for a 6 courses cooking experience. We learned a lot and felt very comfortable.

For Christmas, my sister and I got my dad the Indian food cooking class with Chef Shailini. We had a fantastic time, learning to cook with the chef in a relaxed and fun setting at her home. Over the course of a few hours, we prepped and cooked seven dishes: a coconut chutney snack, a gobi aloo matar, a chicken tikka masala, a saffron pulao rice dish, a cucumber yogurt relish, a light refreshing salad, and a rice pudding dessert. Along the way, Chef Shailini gave us lessons about the food -- both cooking techniques as well as history about the dishes. Everything was absolutely delicious, and we left full, contented, and with all the recipes, so we can make them again on our own.

This was my second class with Chef Shailini, and it confirmed why I came back. The menu—Kachumbar, Aloo Gobi Mataar, Chicken Tikka Masala, Raita, Dhania Chutney, Saffron Pulao, and Kheer—hit all the “restaurant favorite” notes, but the real value was learning the how behind each dish. Shailini had everything organized, explained the purpose of each spice, and showed simple techniques that raised our confidence: how to bloom spices properly, build a bright chutney, and get tender chicken without drying it out. The pacing was perfect—hands-on without feeling rushed—and she offered considered spice heat levels. As in my first class with her, the setting was warm and welcoming; everyone felt comfortable asking questions and tasting along the way. I cannot wait to receive the recipes and attempt to try like what I did after the first class. If you’re curious about Indian cooking (beginner or returning student), this class delivers: practical skills, great flavors, and a host who truly cares about teaching. Highly recommended. — Han Chang

This was my first-ever cooking class. I’m not someone who typically enjoys cooking, but since my wife is away long-term caring for her mother, I decided to give it a try. The in-person format really depends on the host—and Chef Shailini exceeded expectations. She warmly welcomed us into her home, creating a unique and personal atmosphere that made the entire experience special. There were six participants in total. Chef Shailini made us all feel at ease, encouraging a relaxed and friendly environment. She provided clear, step-by-step instructions for each of the main dishes, and her passion, energy, and deep knowledge of Thai cuisine made the class both educational and enjoyable. By the end of the session, I felt confident that I could prepare a full Thai meal for my wife when she returns. I highly recommend this class to anyone curious about Thai cooking—especially first-timers like me. Best, Han Chang

Gifted this experience to my boyfriend! We are both foodies and enjoy Asian cuisine and this class was a wonderful time! Our favorite creations during the class were the momo and the dessert, but everything was delicious and we left with very full bellies! Chef Shailini created a very open environment for all skill levels and was incredibly welcoming and friendly!

I had the pleasure of meeting and cooking with Chef Shailini. The menu and suggestions for drink were sent ahead of time. Chef Shailini took us step by step on how to make the dishes and introduced the class to the aromatic South Asian spices-- most importantly she suggested where and what brands to buy for the best result. For myself with Middle Eastern background , some of the aroma and the similarities of the dishes brought back sweet childhood memories of my mother land. The menu was chuck full of delicious food. The richness and variety of food was a treat for the senses. Cheft Shailini told many good stories about the ingredients, the food and the culture which further enhanced the experience. After satisfying the palate with food and desert, we ended the night with Indian dance that Chef Shailini led. Thank you Chef Shailini, I enjoyed this experience and highly recommend it to others.

Chef Shailini is spectacular. She personalized the evening as we are vegetarian, kept it relaxing, educational, engaging and accommodating. She walked through each step, had us chopping, prepping, and participating in the experience. She also shared tips with us on what to do and where to get spices for our own kitchen. We will be back for another class with her in the near future!

The "Authentic Nepalese Cuisine" class with Chef Shailini was absolutely amazing. Not only was the food excellent, but Chef Shailini was an incredible host who really made us feel at home in her home while we were there. We shared stories about our lives and travels as we cooked, and heard all about Chef Shailini's experiences traveling, teaching, and cooking. It really felt like gathering around the kitchen and table with a friend we hadn't seen in a while. We learned so much about Nepalese cuisine and cooking, and Chef Shailini was sensitive and accommodating to our allergen information. It bears repeating that the food was fantastic, and we got to cook and eat a wide variety of dishes that all came together beautifully. I would wholeheartedly recommend this class!

This was my third cooking class taken with Chef Shailini, after taking her Indian and Nepalese classes a couple of years ago. Like those, this one was great, with lots of different types of Thai food made. The material was presented in an easy to understand way, the food was delicious, and none of us left hungry. Looking forward to my fourth class booked with her, whenever that may be.

Chef Shailini hosted a very unique dinner party-style cooking class, where everyone prepped the ingredients and cooked the meals together. Her personality is welcoming and she engaged in meaningful conversations with the entire group throughout the night. As a vegetarian, I'm always nervous to take group cooking classes, but Chef Shailini was accommodating to my dietary needs, as well as others in the group. The night was fun, I learned how to cook some delicious Thai meals, and Chef Shailini shared some pro kitchen/prep hacks along the way.

We had a great time in Chef Rita’s Macaron making class and learned so much! Who knew that making these four-ingredient cookies would include such an involved process. The class was less about the actual recipe and more about learning baking techniques, proper process, creating the right dough consistency, and proper cookie handling & filling. The class was so interesting and Chef Rita made it fun along the way. The result was a perfect macaron that was truly delicious. I highly recommend! Thank you Chef Rita!
