My girlfriend and I wanted to do a cooking class to change up the usual pace of eating out. As we love Mexican cuisine, we found that Chef Akshay is experienced in this cuisine among others. Chef Akshay welcomed us into his home where we exchanged stories and love for cuisine. The ingredients were very fresh and the food was wonderful. I can’t wait to join Chef Akshay for another cooking class! Thank you Chef! Until next time.

Chef Akshay was a phenomenal teacher and host. We are two beginners in the kitchen who were hoping to learn some new recipes. Chef Akshay’s “Indian Flavor Excursion” class far exceeded our expectations! From the first minute, he made us feel welcome not only as learners but as guests in his home kitchen. We learned several fantastic recipes which were so delicious that we can't wait to make them again at home! In addition to teaching us the recipes, Chef Akshay was eager to teach fundamentals of cooking as well. We learned things ranging from new knife skills to pearls for being more efficient in the kitchen. One moment from the class that really stood out was when he led us through an exercise in mindfully tasting the food during the cooking process to decide how to optimize the dish’s flavour. It felt like a Eureka moment for us novices in the kitchen. Chef Akshay is passionate about cooking and teaching, and this is evident in his class. I strongly recommend his classes; we will certainly be signing up for another one with him!

Our experience was amazing!!!! I had purchased this as a gift for my granddaughter that gave us something to do together and we both loved it!!!!! She actually phoned me from the grocery store on Sunday to let me know she was picking up all the ingredients to cook the meal again for Sunday dinner. Needless to say I was very pleased that she enjoyed this so much and we hope to do this again sometime. The chef was also amazing not just his cooking/teaching but overall he was so much fun to be with – we had some pretty good laughs and he really made us feel at home as to be honest we were not sure what we were walking into. But we sure knew what we walked away from and it was fantastic and would highly recommend this to my friends and family.
