What an unbelievable evening! Chef Shailini hosted myself and a group of veterans for a great night of cooking and conversation. We can't say enough great things about the evening.

The meal at the end of the class was a virtual Thanksgiving feast of Nepalese dishes. All were good, but the momos were by far the best.

I bought this as a Christmas present for my boyfriend and it was such a fun way to spend Saturday night. We did the “fancy appetizers” class. We made five different appetizers and a champagne cocktail. Each appetizer was delicious and chef shalini was such a great teacher! I would highly recommend this class to anyone. 5/5 stars!!

Chef Shailini welcomed us into her home and gave a wonderful experience cooking Nepalese cuisine. She helped us pair wine with the food we were eating and sprinkled lots of tips and tidbits about her experiences into the cooking class. Would definitely recommend this class to anybody looking to have fun, learn, engage in delightful conversation and eat DELICIOUS food!

Shailini (Miss S!) is such an excellent chef and warm and welcoming presence! Learning to cook with her was a delightful way to spend a winter Saturday evening. She is overwhelmingly talented and brings a great energy to the kitchen -- we prepared (help prepare) no less than 5 things, including deviled eggs, a savory ham and cheese palmier, spanakopita with spinach and feta and onions, a fried coconut chicken with bell pepper dip, and an eggplant tapenade type dip with crusty bread (I forget what it's called). We also prepared a fizzy drink to help it all go down. I really appreciated the diversity of appetizers -- vegetarian vs. non-, heavy vs. light, representing all sorts of cultures. Miss S was also very forthcoming in sharing her own culinary experience, from growing up in Nepal to her first experience with capers in France, etc. Highly recommend her class -- we're looking forward to coming back for her Nepalese cooking class sometime soon!

My boyfriend and I had an amazing night with Chef Shailini! We learned so much about the food and culture in Nepal, had a delicious meal, met some new friends, and felt like we were old friends in her beautiful home. Such a warming and inviting experience. We couldn’t recommend this experience any more. Chef Sailini you’re a gifted chef and a wonderful person. Thank you for this perfect night!!

AMAZING AMAZING. What a wonderful birthday gift. I did NYC restaurant week the weekend before this, and this was much much better. I would give 6 STARS if I can. Thank you <3 to you and the wonderful couple from NH for a great night.

Chef Sailini provided a genuinely warm, inviting, energy-filled evening. We felt we were being invited into her home: she took a real interest in each of us, while she flew around the kitchen guiding our preparation of no less than six dishes, interspersing her advice with stories of travel, cultural customs, and her inside knowledge of Nepalese cooking. We prepared everything from classic Momos to an exquisitely sweet yoghurt dessert—and the session (which actually ran to over 3 hours) flew by. Highly recommended.

I bought two tickets to this event for myself and my Mom as a holiday mom/daughter experience. We attended with another mother daughter couple which made it extra fun. The food, fun and conversation was excellent and I can genuinely say I learned a few new things along with enjoying some seriously delicious appetizers!

My husband and I spent a wonderful afternoon learning the secrets to cooking a delicious Mediterranean meal with Chef Shailini. She welcomed us into her home and entertained the two of us with interesting stories about her life and past experiences as a chef - all while helping us enjoy cooking, which typically is a chore in our household! I would highly recommend Chef Shailini, her classes are perfect for a date night or outing with a group of friends!

Chef Shailini hosted a wonderful class, for my friends and me. She taught us cooking secrets along the way, while helping us make five unique appetizers that were better than we would get in a restaurant. Her home was lovely and inviting, allowing our group to catch up and chat throughout the whole class. She was extra attentive to our groups' unique needs for food allergies as well, going above and beyond our expectations. Chef Shailini started class by asking us about ourselves, and really getting to know us. Through the meal, she shared her own story, and asked more about us, making us feel extremely welcome. This was no ordinary cooking class, it was a wonderful evening and we will definitely be coming back!

Great experience! The menu was varied and plentiful so we were able to learn different techniques and how to build flavor in different recipes. Chef S has a lot of professional culinary teaching experiences and that translated to our event. I had a lot of fun, while also learning more about a culture!

Chef Shailini had a very ambitious evening planned, but her organization and expertise guided us through many delicious and beautifully presented dishes! It started with freshly-steamed hand-made momos (Nepali dumplings) and ended with a dessert of creamy yogurt with mango and spices. She was a gracious, energetic host and made the three hours fly by. I would love to cook with her again, and would highly recommend her class to anyone!

Chef Shailini, was fantastic! At once welcoming and warm we were put at ease immediately. She was very orgainzed and provided us with handouts to take home and review before attempting to make these varied and exciting foods at home! The momo's were so excellent and chef gave us tips for soourcing some of the more exotic ingredients. She is a treasure my husband and i would like to take more classes from her.

We had a terrific time with Chef Shailini making awesome steamed dumplings (and so much more!) and learning about Nepalese food culture and customs. Chef S also had lots of good tips for getting possibly hard to find items and ingredients like papadum crackers, mustard oil, Sichuan peppercorns, etc. Dessert was a truly simple and delicious yogurt flavored with cardamom, saffron, toasted nuts and fresh mango. Yum!

Shailini gracefully and expertly gave us insight into Nepalese cuisine at a hands on session I attended. It was SO much fun! She was funny, animated and a real pro! Shailini provided a wonderful experience overall that allowed us to relax, chat and exchange notes while we learned how to cook. I will certainly do this again!!

Thank you, Shailini - I loved the appetizer class! I have made many of the dishes several times, since the class, and everyone has raved about them. I was impressed with your efficiency in teaching and coordinating the cooking of several appetizers, all at once! Somehow, everything got done on time and we all certainly enjoyed everything. I also noticed how well you kept an eye on everyone's contributions in making all these. Job well done! ( and delicious too!)

I took a cooking workshop with Shailini, and cannot say enough good things about her as an instructor! She demonstrated a great passion for cooking and her entertaining personality made this an amazing cooking experience for me. The class was extremely interactive and she took the time to provide some history and fun stories behind the food that we were making. I've taken many cooking classes over the years, and so far, this has been one of my absolute favorites. The food was so delicious too - I highly recommend taking a class with Shailini - I very much look forward to doing so, again!

She involved us all in the cooking process and answered many questions along the way. The dishes turned out great!! I especially appreciated the handouts and detailed recipes and am very confident I will be making these at home. We learned many food prep tips as well - I can't wait to take another class with Shailini!

Many thanks to Chef Shailini for sharing with us her wonderful talent at orchestrating a traditional Nepali meal with us. The spices she used were amazing and the momos we made were spot on! It was a cultural moment in time that I will always remember and cherish in my heart. Best birthday present for my boyfriend, ever! I highly recommend taking a class with Shailini if you want a truly unique experience.

Shailini was friendly, patient and professional - she was very flexible with the changing schedule of our large family gathering and swooped right in with everything needed to teach us how to make Nepalese and Thai meals. She even left us with an instruction manual on everything we learned that night. It was a delicious, lovely and memorable event for me and my family.
