"We had a lovely time! We really appreciated Shveta's ability to help us adapt the recipe to suit our needs, and were really impressed with how she guided us from the other side of the camera! It was a great family experience."

"Wonderful insight into traditional Indian cookery. Shveta gave us loads of tips and the overall experience was fabulous. We’ll definitely be doing another of her classes soon. Thank you Shveta!"

"Shevta and her husband were fantastic hosts. Shevta was very patient and explained the steps well to the group. They were both excited to share about their culture and learn about our culture. I feel like I made two new friends half way around the globe and hope to share in a meal prep in person when we can resume international travel again safely. Thank you for this great experience."

"Amazing cooking thought by an amazing teacher. Definitely worth the money for the food alone!!"

"Online cooking with Shveta was the perfect way to connect our extended family remotely during covid-19! We had nine food-loving cousins in the class from San Francisco to Seattle and New York. Ages from 39 to 5 were all on the call and able to follow along with Shveta. My cousin’s boyfriend Pranai even said the resulting meal tasted just as good as the food he gets at temple! Until we can safely get on planes and eat grandma’s cooking again, we will be taking more Traveling Spoon classes."
