Taruna and Ash were excellent hosts! They taught us in a way that made us feel at home and did a great job at relating the meals to our every day lives. This was a fantastic experience and I’ll definitely recommend them to more.

Ann and I are 78 and were at first surprised when a couple in their 40's joined us with Chef Taruna and her daughter Tara. The evening couldn't have been better. The exchange of information and viewpoints was comfortable and flowing. Chef Taruna was able to open our eyes and ears with quips and tales of her growing up in India with a grandmother still much part of her family caste. Coincidentally, both of the male guests take cooking seriously. I couldn't resist showing my cohort the different method I used for preparing fresh garlic. The plate of appetizers we each prepared all included the boiled potato awaiting one of several sauces. Much of the preparation time was shared together around the stove. I was pleased to learn of the Indian grocery store in Austin which I was not aware despite living here 17 years. Sitting together sharing our family meal and company made the taste that much more memorable. Thanks Again, Charles Cresswell
