My husband and I loved Chef Shailini's Thai Cooking Class! Not only the recipes were delicious and well described, the company of other students and the Chef herself were wonderful. We had an absolutely amazing time cooking with the other students and the Chef, while having fun converstions and sharing interesting stories. We can't wait for our next class!!

This was my first-ever cooking class. I’m not someone who typically enjoys cooking, but since my wife is away long-term caring for her mother, I decided to give it a try. The in-person format really depends on the host—and Chef Shailini exceeded expectations. She warmly welcomed us into her home, creating a unique and personal atmosphere that made the entire experience special. There were six participants in total. Chef Shailini made us all feel at ease, encouraging a relaxed and friendly environment. She provided clear, step-by-step instructions for each of the main dishes, and her passion, energy, and deep knowledge of Thai cuisine made the class both educational and enjoyable. By the end of the session, I felt confident that I could prepare a full Thai meal for my wife when she returns. I highly recommend this class to anyone curious about Thai cooking—especially first-timers like me. Best, Han Chang
