Had a great class with Ekta, she was so encouraging and made the cooking so much fun. Her place was really cosy and made us feel really at home during the entire class. The food was delicious, and she provided take home recipes so we could recreate the meal at home!

The experience with chef Ekta was second to none! She was so well prepared, a wonderful host and teacher, and helped us learn and feel confident that we could apply what we learned with her at home. Her hand-kneaded pizza class was a surprise birthday gift for my partner, and he LOVED being able to ask her a ton of food science and pizza making questions. Chef Ekta is knowledgeable, friendly and fun. She was a real pleasure to get to know and learn from, highly recommend!

It was a fabulous experience - while we were in Chef Ekta's home, it was very professional, yet warm and welcoming. While I'm not a professional chef, I've been cooking for a long time and have taken a few classes, but I learned more than a few things from Chef Ekta that I never knew and better still, got to try, and as a result, I'm much more confident in my ability to be a little more adventurous. Ekta was incredibly patient, and did a great job making sure we got to be totally hands on, especially with points in the cooking process where consistency/texture changes were happening so we could actually understand how to do everything and monitor properly. It was a wonderful and filling afternoon!!

My friends and I had a great time baking with Chef Ekta! She made us feel super comfortable at her home. We played good music, chatted about life, and she shared some great baking tips for us to use for our next baking adventure. Highly recommend! Chef Keta was very kind and informative :)

Great experience. Place was cozy and chef was very knowledgeable and well prepared. Everything was as advertised. Would highly recommend if you’re struggling with homemade pizza dough. Everything came out delicious and had enough left over for a second meal. Thanks to chef Ekta for a wonderful experience!
