Jyoti did a great job in demystifying indian food in a warm and friendly atmosphere. As I write my travel journal, I am constantly thinking back to the food she prepared in a fond manner. If you book a class with Jyoti, you won't be disappointed. Jyoti also helped me with my plans for the rest of the day. Superb!

"Do whatever you want" seemed to be the motto of the day. Jyoti walked us through the recipes of about 10 dishes, and offered many variations on each recipe so we can later prepare them to our taste preferences and with items available to us back home. Apparently Indian cuisine allows for lots of variations: "You like this? Add some... More

Jyoti is very charming and cooks so quickly – she whips up a delicious banquet in no time (assisted by her helpers in the kitchen.) Lots of inspirational tips to make the same food at home, and of course you get to eat the food which you have seen her prepare. As others have said, you are then given the... More

My sister and I spent an evening with Jyoti for a cooking class and market tour. Jyoti is friendly and provides a wealth of information on Indian culture and cooking. We had a wonderful time visiting the local shopping scene with her, and she was kind enough to help us buy spices for cooking back home. The meal at her... More

We had a great day with Jyoti, she gave amazing insight into Indian life and taught us how to make some beautiful and simple meals. This experience made our trip and gave us confidence when ordering food. The nicest part of the experience was being in her house and having lunch with her son, a real family experience.

Three of us had a wonderful afternoon with Jyoti, in her home. Not only did we learn a lot about Indian "at home" cooking, but we also learned about life for the average middle-class Indian. Jyoti gave us recipes that are both easy and delicious - definitely ones to repeat in Canada. We shared stories about our lives and felt... More
