"Soma’s cooking class was an amazing experience! Not only did we learn to cook several traditional Indian dishes, we also learned about the different regions in India along with the regions’ various cuisines. Soma is very thorough in her explanation of the cooking techniques, the spices used and where we can buy the ingredients to prepare the dishes at home. I would recommend this class for anyone from the novice cook to those with advanced culinary skills."
