If you are looking for an authentic and immersive culinary experience, Chef Rajee’s cooking class is an absolute must. I booked this as a surprise for my boyfriend’s birthday, and it couldn’t have been more perfect—from start to finish, the entire session was a 10/10 experience.
Her kitchen is absolutely beautiful, providing the perfect backdrop for a hands-on lesson. What truly sets Rajee apart is her deep knowledge and her ability to make complex flavors feel accessible. She walked us through her incredible collection of whole spices, explaining the history and regional significance of each one across different areas of India. It was fascinating to see how she transforms these raw ingredients into fragrant powders, and she even showed us the secrets behind making her own ghee and yogurt from scratch. She also helped me with my knife skills.
Beyond the technical skills, Rajee is a fantastic instructor with a warm, engaging personality that makes the kitchen feel welcoming. We didn't just follow recipes; we gained a true understanding of the soul of Indian cuisine while preparing a meal that tasted absolutely incredible. It definitely gave us the confidence to order from Indian restaurants on our own and prepare for our trip to India one day.
Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just want to level up your cooking, you will leave her class with new skills and a deeper appreciation for Indian culture. Highly recommend!
