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!

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!!

Had an amazing time and learned so much from Chef Rakhi! She gave a lot of tips and explained the ingredient choices throughout. Can’t stop thinking about the soup and elote we had. Would definitely 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.
