extremely nice and knowledgeable. Food was amazing. Be more prepared to have questions about cooking and not per say ready to cook. Great experience.

The cultural journey has inspired me to embrace the “back to basics” approach in my own cooking, using fresh ingredients from my garden and greenhouse. The lessons we learned from Chef Shan have not only improved my culinary skills but also enriched my appreciation for cultural diversity. Now, I consider Chef Shan not only an excellent chef but also a friend. I would gladly participate in another night of learning and laughter, and I look forward to sharing this experience with more people in the future:)

We eat Indian food often. But what Chef Shan gave us was a meal rich with flavor and hospitality. The food was absolutely amazing, earthy spice blends and colors. She shares knowledge of food as well as culture and history to the delight of the “students” (that’s you, soon!). Highly recommend.

Loved loved loved Chef Shan’s class! We had the best time tonight learning how to cook Indian food from Chef Shan! She is the sweetest woman and makes the most delicious chicken tikka masala and basmati rice. Her sweet potato halva for dessert was amazing! In between cooking we got to learn all about her life. No topic was off the table. Such a Fun date night!!

Our cooking class experience was great! Chef Shan is incredibly kind and an extremely talented chef. Her food was 😍😍😍 I couldn't stop raving about it for days. Best Indian food I've ever had - and I helped cook it! Most of the food was already pre chopped so the cooking experience is a majority of watching her throw everything together, but she's very skilled and walks you through everything. We would definitely book another class with her. Worth every penny. Thanks Chef Shan!

We had a group of 5 for Chef Shan’s vegetarian Indian class. We learned quite a bit, ate quite a bit and had an absolute blast. She regaled us with tales of her native land/cuisine. All the food was fresh and made from scratch. Couldn’t recommend more as something different for a great night out.
