We really enjoyed the Festival of Indian Flavors cooking class! Chef Manjiri is very welcoming and provided a great environment for the class. And she did a great job teaching us how to cook one of our favorite meals - butter chicken with mango lassi for dessert. Everything was delicious!! We are planning to try it again at home in the near future.

Chef Manjiri was so amazing to work with and learn from! We learned so much about selecting the best ingredients for the dishes we prepared, how the different courses work together, and general information about Indian flavors. We loved getting to chat with Chef Manjiri and getting to learn more about her. Everything was fresh and one of the best parts ended up being how many leftovers we had! 10/10!! Cannot recommend Chef Manjiri enough!

My partner and I had such a wonderful experience with Chef Manjiri! She graciously hosted us in her home and led us through cooking so much delicious, healthy vegetarian food. We’re so happy to learn from her and to incorporate many of the spices, ingredients, recipes, and techniques into our cooking moving forward. ?

My 15-year old daughter and I had a great afternoon with Chef Manjiri! We took the "Indian Vegetarian Feast" class. Chef Manjiri is a friendly and engaging host. She is very knowledgeable about Indian cooking, and was able to demystify some of the techniques that are typically used. The dish selection was perfect, and everything turned out really well. Manjiri provided written recipe instructions, so that we can repeat the recipes at home. We made a huge amount of food that lasted for several delicious meals. Thanks Chef!

My mom and I had a blast for her birthday! Chef Manjiri was so welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable and her home and kitchen were clean and inviting. The presentation was great from start to finish. And the food was absolutely delicious with plenty of leftovers to take home. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun activity for a special occasion! Skip the fancy restaurant and have a hands on experience.

My 16 year niece and I took Chef Manjiri's Global Vegetarian Cuisine class and loved every minute of it! She took the time to run us through all the recipes and was very engaging throughout the cooking sessions! Highly recommend taking this class!

My girlfriend and I took the Festival of Indian Flavor with Chef Manjiri. It was such a wonderful experience - she clearly explained the agenda for the class, told us about herself, explained all the ingredients, and then helped us through all four recipes with both laughter and fun. What a great time!

We had a great time with Manjiri, and came away with some good general tips for cooking Indian food. Loved how she gave us recommendations on what brands to buy for certain ingredients and where to get them in our area. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent class! Delicious, easy prep meals!

Manjiri was friendly and kind (including being very patient with my 13 yo son). However, I was disappointed in the class. It felt like hanging out with a home cook who uses shortcuts, not a professional chef. The ingredients were not in the least gourmet (for example, margarine in the "butter" chicken, pre-flavored vanilla yogurt for the mango lassi). I had hoped to learn more about Indian spices and see an expert cook with fresh, high quality ingredients. We had a fun time and the food was tasty but overall the experience wasn't a good value for the money. She's a very nice person, but I want to leave a candid review.

Had a great experience cooking with Chef Manjiri. Learned about the Indian culture, and the food we made. I would definitely recommend this class to a friend and take another one! My only complaint is that the knives provided were very dull and hard to use. Other than that the food was tasty and easy/quick to make! Take this class!!

We drove over 2 hours for this experience and it did not disappoint! I'm not much of a cook but Chef Manjiri was very patient and gave just the right amount of help while allowing us to prepare the food to our liking. She is very knowledgeable and gave us great tips for when we will certainly make these dishes in the future. Masks were worn the whole time and then Chef Manjiri gave us a few minutes to enjoy our hard worked meal in privacy which was perfect because the aromatic smells made us very hungry. All in all, a great experience from start to finish while adhering to COVID-19 policies!

Chef Manjiri made a special day perfect. She’s extremely patient and her style of teaching the recipes is flawless. She was just the right amount of hands on. She gave room to freestyle some things as to create an individual feel to the recipes. Thank you so much for the opportunity to cook with you we would love to do it again.

Chef Manipuri was all set up when we arrived. Told us about herself and went through each recipe. She was thorough and a pleasure to learn from. Whether you are a novice cook or have been cooking awhile I would highly recommend this experience. My husband and I had a wonderful time and would do it again.

We learned so much about true Indian spices. The lesson was not only fun and delicious, but very well-organized, a true class with information and techniques that Chef Manjiri made sure we actively learned. Chef Manjiri was very hospitable and tailored the class quickly to match our skill level. The kitchen space was lovely and easy to get around, even with social distancing in mind. We can't wait to apply what we learned here to our own meals!

In short, Chef Manjiri was an amazing host. She graciously welcomed 6 of us into her home for an afternoon of laughter, cooking, and eating. It was an incredible experience that my partner and I were happy to share with our parents. Chef Manjiri made us feel at home and took great care in teaching us about the ingredients / recipes for her traditional Indian menu. I highly recommend Chef Manjiri - the food was delicious (we have been eating leftovers for days!!!!)

Chef Manjiri was very kind and a great teacher. The recipes for this course are pretty simple, so if you are a beginning cook or just want the fundamentals of Indian cooking this is a great course to take. Everything turned out very tasty!

My daughter and I had a great experience with Chef Manjiri. My daughter has become a vegetarian and we were looking for new dishes to her expand her dinner options. Chef Manjiri took her time explaining the dishes, how to easily prepare them and how to change the seasoning levels. This was a very hands on class as it was just me and my daughter. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to try Indian food or more specifically vegetarian Indian food.

I felt right at home the minute I walked in the front door. Chef Maniiji was welcoming and inviting. The cooking area was relaxing with a "this could be my kitchen" feel to it. The flavors of each dish was approachable and simply easy to enjoy.
