Chef Rakhi is wonderful and kind. Super friendly and warm! Felt more like I was having dinner at a friend’s house, a friend who really knows how to cook. Will definitely book again!!

We did the bistro class with Chef Rakhi and really enjoyed the whole experience! She was very thorough in her explanations and in answering all of our questions. We also enjoyed talking with her and sharing stories while our food was cooking. The chicken pot pie was delicious and very flavorful, and the salad seemed so simple but showed us new ways to combine ingredients. We would definitely book this and other experiences again!

My friend and I had the BEST time with Chef Rahki! We made delicious Chinese food and learned so much about how to cook vegetables and chicken the best. We even got to make our own dough for the dessert. Chef Rahki was warm, welcoming, and funny! We loved hanging out with her. Here is a video from our experience! https://teams.microsoft.com/l/message/48:notes/1713229706760?context=%7B%22contextType%22%3A%22chat%22%7D

She is very knowledgeable about cooking and has a wide range of experience, being able to answer any questions the group had. If you want to book a cooking class from her I recommend booking from her website spicegirlontour.com for an even more personal experience. Either way, I wholly recommend Chef Rakhi!

Chef Rakhi led us through a really interesting and insightful cooking class and we were so happy we came. She made it a really great experience and was as much of an entertainer as she was a chef. Good luck with finklestein.

We had a great time at the vegetarian Indian cooking class. Rahki was so much fun and an awesome host, and her cooking instruction and food were wonderful! It was a perfect gift for my wife's birthday as she loves to cook. 5 stars!

Nothing short of amazing. When you enter the warm inviting home of Chef Rakhi, you are enveloped into a warm comforting fairytale. The bright, cheerfully decorated kitchen dances in front of your eyes, you feel nothing short of love and joy bouncing off the walls to greet you. Her entire space is decorated with such eclectic purpose, you can feel the precise care and thoughtfulness from floor to ceiling. Chef was so well prepared for us, everything was ready to go upon arrival. Ambient music played in the background while she explained the menu to us and discussed the important ingredients as well as where to source them for ourselves. We learned how to make fresh caramel sauce for the most AMAZING flan I have ever tasted. Her homemade vanilla extract was to die for. Everything was so fresh, simple to follow along, yet elegant and absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to come back. It is so obvious that Chef absolutely loves what she does, what a wonderful experience.

Chef Rakhi was an amazing host. She allowed us to be educated in the kitchen and empowered in the process. We can’t stop talking about how incredible and easy the food was to make. Highly recommend!!!

Chef Rakhi is one of a kind! We had an awesome experience learning how to make vegetarian Indian dishes with her. She made us feel like family and made cooking straightforward, fun, and simple. Highly recommended.

This was a fun evening. Our family with a high schooler were hands on.Chef Rakhi showed us what to do and then we tried it. We don't know anything about Indian cooking, so she patiently explained all of the spices and where to buy them. It ended up being just our family which let us ask all kinds of basic cooking questions about cookware, knives, cutting techniques, etc. She joked with us and was very encouraging. The food was delicious!

Chef Rakhi is great! Food was amazing and recipes were easy to catch on to. Wonderful experience, highly recommended

Chef Rakhi was fantastic! We went on a date to veggie Tex Mex cooking class. She was welcoming and engaging from the start, well prepared with the ingredients and recipes and immediately made us feel like we were a part of her team. She was knowledgeable and willing to share her expertise, but also made us feel like a part of the cooking process. She is a true professional, and the food was delicious! Highly recommend for a date, a family or a group of friends!

Chef Rakhi is personable, knowledgeable, and professional. Her house is beautiful and very welcoming. Chef Rakhi provided us with a fun evening and an incredible meal. We absolutely loved everything on the menu. Best of all, everyone in our group feels confident that we can recreate the meals in our own homes due to Chef Rakhi's excellent instructions and recipes.

Rakhi was so sweet, wonderful, and informative. Her space is absolutely stunning and she’s a wonderfully engaging teacher. Absolutely cannot recommend her enough. She made our night very special. Thanks Rakhi!

Chef Rakhi was delightful and informative and the food was delicious! We gave 4/5 starts because we thought there could have been more food. The quantity was not enough for the 8 people in our class. And, the class was not quite as hands-on as we were expecting. But, we still had a great time and would recommend!

Chef Rahki was kind, welcoming, funny and importantly a great instructor! Really fun event.

Rakhi was an incredible host! She walked us through all the dishes, but more importantly made us feel comfortable and at home. We had great conversation, food, and flow. She is so skilled and also has an incredibly warm home, unique recipes, and great stories. Highly recommend!!

We just returned from our date night dinner with Chef Rakhi. What an incredibly enjoyable evening. Rakhi was such a friendly, interesting and gracious host, and she did a phenomenal job answering questions as she showed us how to prepare the meal in her beautiful kitchen. Her food tasted amazing and her teaching skills were second to none. We'll definitely be scheduling another evening for dinner with Rakhi in the near future. Very satisfied with our whole experience!

Chef Rakhi is incredibly talented, welcoming, and approachable. She crafted a menu with food that has delightful flavor complexity, yet is easy enough to make on an average night. Her style makes it easy to feel at ease and to learn. Although she’s trained around the world, like a good friend inviting you over, you can ask any question, and she will answer with kindness and a maybe a story. Along with being a highly capable chef and teacher, she is also a skilled hostess, who makes it feel surprisingly comfortable to spend the evening with classmates we just met. I would highly recommend booking an experience with her!

I had a great experience with Chef Rhaki! She was very knowledgeable about all of the ingredients and their histories. Her kitchen is beautiful and she encouraged us to ask questions and help prepare the dishes. She explained why she did each step in their order and even the best places to buy ingredients. The meal was absolutely delicious and im excited to try making the pakora with other types of vegetables!

Rakhi was an absolute joy! Wonderfully flexible to last minute changes and working to accommodate our VBRO environment. She was warm, funny, knowledgeable, and the whole crew had a great time. The resulting food was fabulous! We are hoping to take the provided recipes and recreate some magic at home. We learned a lot. 100% recommend!

Rakhi curated and cooked an excellent menu for an event at my resort - Haroocharai Tea Estate. It still leaves my tastebuds craving for more. Her knowledge of different cuisines is vast and her presentations excellent.

Chef Rakhi’s love and passion for food elevates everything she creates whether it is authentic Asian Fusion, traditional Thai, or Indian classics. She has such artistry, dexterity, and speed in the kitchen that you have no doubt that you are watching a master at work. I feel lucky to have attended her lively food classes and learnt some beautiful and refined dishes from the best. She builds layers and layers of flavor into her dishes and teaches you how to work with ingredients you have never heard of before. There are all sorts of good reasons for being in the kitchen with Chef Rakhi — it is like continuing education and a culinary journey into new worlds.

Chef Rakhi is amazing. A day well spent with friends , great food and laughter. Highly recommend her Thai food experience… am craving for more. Tastefully decorated home and kitchen add to the experience. She is fun and witty with well honed culinary skills. Go for it!

Chef Rakhi creates a warm soothing atmosphere for everyone to share a feast and fun - all-in-one. Her flavorful food and/or dessert is only the mere icing on the cake! Rakhi’s personality adds so much value to this learning event, not a moment or spice is wasted. Highly recommend this wonderful chef!
