This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting.

Chef Manjiri was friendly and personable. She introduced herself and her back story before we delved into the recipes. And asked for ours. Her instructions were oral and written — both were clear. She knew her spices!!! We talked about some “spice hacks” and where to buy these. We then went to the stove and cooked! She was encouraging. And was able to walk us through a 3 dish lunch!! Which was deeeelicios. Plenty of leftovers, too.

This was an absolutely phenomenal course with a superb teacher, Chef Manjiri. She was very clear in communicating the instructions for the dishes, and provided an excellent environment to safely learn. Anyone thinking about trying a cooking course will be totally satisfied when invited into Chef Manjiri's home.
