  Ranjan's Indian cooking classes was an amazing experience. We enjoyed learning to cook but more than that the hospitality and stories shared. i would do this activity again. The food was great but the host and her husband were fantastic. Thank you for teaching us how to cook Northern Indian style.

  What a lovely way to spend a day. Ranjana is a gentle woman who can really cook! She loves it. That is very obvious, plus she wants to share that love and knowledge with you. And that she did. I learned so much in three short (and very delicious) hours. I have always enjoyed Indian cuisine, but I admit to a lot of ignorance. I can now not only order with much more confidence, I feel I can create some dishes on my own. I was impressed with the experience and wouldn't mind going back for more, with some more friends, too! Her home is easy to find. Parking is a breeze. She provides everything. What's not to like!?

  Ranjana is not only an excellent cook and teacher, but a wonderful person to spend an evening with. She started off by showing us how to make masala chai, then moved on to samosas, which we snacked on as we continued through the other 14 dishes. All four of us were complete beginners, and Ranjana walked us through every step of the process. She was genuinely invested in making sure that we understood the recipes and ingredients, as well as being a welcoming and generous hostess.
  
  I'd highly recommend this to anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind night out, or who wants to learn Indian cooking from an expert. Can't wait to try these recipes with our family and friends!

  Just like the other class I took on North Indian food, this class on South Indian food was also fantastic. I found that I know North Indian food better that the food from the south, but both are great. Instructor explained everything and I find the "hands on" cooking portion the best, as we actually get to work on the dish!

  The Indian cooking class was fantastic! All spices were explained and then we (there were 4 of us) got to actually make a dish. Lot's of food prepared...I was stuffed. Can't wait until next weeks class!

  I got the Basic North Indian cooking class for my husband for his birthday. It was a really awesome class that took place in her home. There were only 6 of us there, so we got a lot of hands on time. We also made some amazing food. We learned so much about how to balance Indian flavors correctly and how to apply what we learned to many recipes including samosas with a phenomenal cilantro chutney, an okra dish, and eggplant dish, chai, and roti. She even tossed together a rogan josh paneer dish just because one of the attendees said it was his favorite dish. Ranjana is also an incredibly warm and inviting person, we felt very welcome in her home. Just listening to her talk about her impressive career and life path as well as her successful kids was a lot of fun on its own. Eating the food she helped us prepare was even better. We ate around 12:30 and I don't think I needed to eat for the rest of the day because I had so much delicious food and because I didn't want to get the wonderful taste out of my mouth.
  
  If you've ever considered taking a class to learn how to make Indian food, this is the one to take. I'm so excited to recreate the recipes at home.

  What a great experience! I took the basic South Indian class this past Saturday. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the experience was just awesome.
  
  Ranjana opens up her home and is just lovely, welcoming, gracious, funny, and so knowlegeable and patient. Her home is beautiful and you feel very welcomed.
  
  There were 6 in the class, which was a good size group. We made about 10 different recipes - a combo of demo and hands-on. Because the Dawali holiday is this week, she included some extra special recipes and went above and beyond.
  
  All the food came out so good and flavorful. I'm not vegetarian, but there wasn't a dish we made in which I missed or needed meat. I would make all these recipes again at my home. They were simple with complex flavors.
  
  I can't say enough good things about Rajana and her class. I am taking another class with her in a few weeks, and I cannot wait!
