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.

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.

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!
