Our evening with Shailini was terrific. We were a part of a 5 person class on desserts. Shailini made everyone feel comfortable and included in her kitchen and dining room. We could have as much hands on participation as we wanted. We created and ate 3 quite delicious desserts over 3+ hours. It was quite enjoyable and interesting. Recipes for muffin sized cheesecakes, chocolate cake with ganache and French apple tart were sent to us in our email, and can’t wait to try them on our own. Yumm! From Marilyn and Ken

Chef Shailini was energetic and engaging! She kept the group involved in the cooking and was very willing to answer any and all questions. As a group we split up and shared all the tasks and duties, so it was a great group event and nice to meet new people. As my first cooking class, I loved it! In terms of what I'd do differently, next time I think there would ideally be a few fewer people so that we were all more involved throughout the session and spent less time waiting for another task. This was also complicated by the fact that now knowing the people in the group you didn't want to too eagerly volunteer for a task because that might mean taking an opportunity away from someone else. Thus, I think perhaps 4-6 people instead of 8 people would be ideal for this class. Thank you, Chef Shailini! I can't wait to recreate what I learned in your class at home! MOMOS HERE I COME!

Shailini was wonderful! She went above and beyond to make sure that everyone had a great experience. The instructions were clear, the food was delicious, and she even taught us about Nepalese culture and customs. I highly recommend Shailini's class to anyone learning to cook delicious Nepalese food!
