An excellent chef who is passionate to share her cooking skills - It is such a pleasure to be able to learn Punjabi thali with chef Shilpa. She is enthusiastic to share the secrets and techniques of preparation and techniques of cooking.
Through out the class she explained every step in detail. She is such a nice and wonderful teacher and I enjoyed every minute of the class. I am happy that now I can cook some healthy Punjabi thali for my family.
Thank you chef Shilpa.

Delightful learning experience - Shilpa was a wonderful teacher who took us through making paneer makhani, spiced potatoes, yellow dal and 2 kinds of flat bread. She took us on a quick trip to her local grocery and explained about vegetables, spices, oils, tea, rice and other staples. she walked us through making the dishes and lunch was delicious. She finished with sharing recipes and other helpful info. A very memorable experience and nice change from downtown Mumbai.

Immersive experience and delicious food - The private cooking class with Shilpa was incredible. She will not only teach you how to navigate a market or grocery store, but will walk you through making several classic Indian dishes. The food was absolutely delicious -- much better in quality, freshness, and complexity compared to the restaurants we had been going to. I can't wait to try making paratha and that amazing deal at home.
Highly recommend this class if you don't want to just look at buildings and get a cultural experience.
