This entire experience was amazing. We had high expectations and Chef Danushka exceeded them. The menu was incredible starting with the arugula salad with pine nuts and homemade balsamic vinaigrette. I’ve never made pasta from scratch and that experience was a ton of fun. We then made 2 different types of ravioli. The first was basil spinach with a bacon marinara and the second was ricotta and Parmesan cheese with a basil brown butter sauce. Finally, dessert was apple and pear rum cake. We left stuffed!! Danushka was a lot of fun to work with and keeps a very clean kitchen….not to mention a great playlist to cook and eat to. I can’t recommend this enough whether you live in Austin or you’re just visiting. We will 100% be back to try another menu . Thanks for the great all around experience!!

We cooked the Spanish meal which included Patatas Bravas, Seafood Paella and Churro with dark chocolate dip. The patatas were delicious and the dip took it to another level. The paella was very flavorful and the churros were light and fluffy. Chef Danushka was patient with our questions and we learned other things beyond what the Spanish feast called for. Me and my friend had a great and highly recommend it to anyone looking to have fun and learn pro way to cook.

I gained a ton of confidence in my chicken breast cooking, and chef's fun energy powered us through! I actually feel like I could do what we did at home... and it wasn't too tough. Even the risotto seemed really straightforward... and those nutella brownies rocked. I'm excited to sign up for another class with chef Danushka again, soon!

Chef Danushka is such a fun personality. She's clearly incredibly talented, but she breaks down her knowledge to make cooking very approachable. Her kitchen space was spotless and elegant - a great date night idea!

I purchased this experience for mine and my partners 1 year anniversary. We did the pasta making class. The final product was delicious. Chef Danushka is a pro. She knows her stuff and she appreciates those that know how to follow direction. So, if you think you are going to go in there and just wing it, you got another thing coming lol. Chef has a dry humor that may take some a little time to adjust to. We didn't have a problem with it. We actually found it quite funny, but I can see how some may not adjust as well. Howerever, she is very sociable, interactive, and knowledgeable. Her home is beautiful and super clean. We do plan on taking another class some time soon. Thank you Chef for being a part of our celebration, and creating such a great experience. Also, I'll practice not calling you ma'am next time around.

My wife and I took Danushka's Italian cooking class where we made a salad from scratch, 2 types of handmade ravioli and a apple & pear rum cake for desert. Chef Danushka was a good teacher and had a fun personality. Her home was beautiful and we had a great time. The Parmesan and ricotta ravioli in brown butter sage sauce was a knockout! Highly recommend!

Who doesn’t love an Italian meal with a nice salad, fresh pasta, and a delicious dessert. The experience in Chef Danushka’s kitchen was delightful. I learned that all these years I have been holding my knife incorrectly. I learned that when I’m making a salad dressing, I need to emulsify the ingredients. But the best of all was having fun learning how to make fresh pasta. This is something that I always found intimidating, especially using a pasta maker. Well, the experience was fun! I can’t wait to get my own pasta maker and go to town making ravioli for us and my family. I highly recommend chef Danushka! Definitely planning to come back for additional experiences!

We had a great time! Chef Danushka gave superb directions, however, I don't have the best listening skills and deserved that spanking! lol We laughed, baked and prepared a wonderful meal together. I HIGHLY recommend any lesson with her.

What an enjoyable experience for a girl’s night out! Food was delicious, loved the general cooking info, and nice to get knife skills included. Chef was prepared making efficient use of the time. (Tipped in cash at the class). She deserves a min tip of 20%!

Chef Danushka is quirky, but in the best way. Once we all warmed up to one another we really enjoyed ourselves. Six people paid for our ravioli class, but only two couples showed up. It turned out that was fine though — a more personal experience. We learned a few things, had good food (including graciously accommodating me being vegetarian), and laughed a lot. 5/5, would do it again. Thank you, Chef!

Our experience with Chef Danushka was one we will not forget! She is dedicated to her craft and made sure we enjoyed a night in good company, all while cooking a one-of-kind meal over the course of the night. Can’t wait to schedule our next experience with her.

Can't say enough great things about Chef Danushka! We had such a fun and memorable experience and learned new skills along the way. Also...this class alone is worth it for the Nutella Brownies! Everything about the evening was five stars...can't wait to take another class from her!

Chef Danushka showed us an unforgettable night consisting of delicious food, conversation, and a lot of laughs. Danushka is an amazingly talented chef, instructor, host, and entertainer- she went above and beyond, and I’m looking forward to booking her again soon.

Would give Chef Danushka more stars if I could!! I booked a private cooking experience with Chef Danushka last weekend with five of my close friends. None of us were quite sure what to expect or how formal the arrangement was going to be. We brought plenty of wine and were prepared to make it a memorable night. From the moment we arrived, we were brought into the Chef's adorable, clean home with a beautiful kitchen, perfectly arranged for us to gather comfortably with a great view of all cooking instructions. The Chef is hilarious and made all of us feel at ease while still giving us lighthearted banter that made sure we were all involved and engaged. The food was one of the best meals I've had in awhile (and I'm not even typically a pork eater) and the experience overall was one of the highlights of the last few months. Thank you, Chef! Looking forward to booking with you again!

Holy cow, what can I say! Danushka was a fantastic teacher and comedian. Her approach of explaining, demoing, and then make us do it was the right approach to ensure we were learning the techniques and not just getting a glancing understanding of them. Couple that with the laid back atmosphere, the unabashed humor, and the really great recipes, and it all added up to a fantastic date night. Don't be a dimwit. Sign up. Spend an evening with her. You'll thank me later.

I got this experience as a birthday gift for my boyfriend. Chef Danushka taught us to make a great Italian dinner. Our favorite part was the delicious Nutella brownies. It was also my first time making risotto. She broke down the steps and made it seem super easy. Overall, it was a great time. She’s funny and makes the experience enjoyable. I would recommend her to anyone!

Chef Danushka laid our scene in fair Verona, with a main course of cheese ravioli, fresh-roll’d pasta we cut and pinched into a meal, at her candid instruction. She tolerated no mutiny, or hands unclean, but in the three hours’ traffic of her kitchen, we laughed through our misadventures and buried all strife. Highly recommended. Great for date night.

Chef Danushka's "Elegant and Season Italian" menu was delicious. My partner and I decided to try something new for date night and the cooking class was great change of pace. We made homemade croutons which was an absolute game changer, delicious squash risotto, herb chicken, and the best Nutella brownies I've ever had. We'd definitely recommend learning with her as her teaching style is very student friendly and easy going. The night went smoothly and we only have good things to say about this experience.

I expected to have a good time, but Chef Danushka exceeded my expectations. She does a great job of getting everyone involved in the class. She also made sure a guy like me who considers it an accomplishment not to burn spaghetti made dishes I never imagine. Chef Danushka is very engaging, knowledgeable, has a great sense of humor, and everyone had a fantastic time. I highly recommend her class!

Sofia B. January, 2020

I found this cooking class to be both useful and fun. Chef Danushka had a hilariously dry sense of humor that kept me laughing the whole time. She has some awesome experience (cooking for “the rock”) and practical advice for all levels. Bring wine and an open mind.

We had such a great time making Asian cuisine with Danushka! She was so patient in showing us the basics of food prep and even small things like holding a knife! We loved the tempora bananas with chocolate for dessert!! She even had her Christmas tree out which made the experience more festive and intimate! We will definitely be coming back!! And we would recommend her highly to any of our friends!

We had a great time making the Viva La Franc meal with Chef Danushka. The meal was fabulous but the chef had a personality that was a little off-putting at first. Throughout the night she warmed up and our team loved bonding over such a unique experience.

My 11yo daughter and I had a fantastic time bonding as we learned incredibly valuable skills from Danushka (e.g. we had no idea how to hold a knife!). I’m a little scared that now that we know how, we’ll be tempura frying everything from here on out! Thanks for a fantastic mother daughter date!
