"I have taken quite a few Indian cooking classes with Shilpi. Indian food is so much more than what you see in restaurants!! It does not have to be spicy at all. Shilpi brings all the flavor of Indian spices to everyday ingredients without the fat or heaviness. She teaches in a way that is very easy to do at home. My family loves her lightly spiced and breaded tilapia from her fusion cooking class. My youngest child eats all Shilpi's kid friendly recipes. Save your appetite - you will be well fed!"

"I’ve been to four or five different cooking places where I take classes to learn different techniques. The best are places that throw you into the kitchen and start cooking. Shilpi’s class is perfect like that, everyone gets a chance to cook and Shilpi is there supervising and guiding us through the recipes. While she did demonstrate on the frying of the lentil fritters, we all got a chance to do the whole process. I loved the class and the chances to learn Indian cooking, which is way out of my comfort zone, made it all the better. Good food great company, I’ll certainly be back for more!"

"My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time cooking with Shilpi! She is so knowledgeable about Indian cooking and it gave us a greater appreciation for the different dishes. The food we cooked was delicious and there was plenty of it. The best part is, she allows you to alter certain ingredients depending on your taste preference. She even sent us home with little bags of spices so we can make the recipes on our own. Shilpi's class is worth every penny. She is a lovely person and made us feel so welcome in her home. This class is really a fun time. We can't wait to go back and bring friends and family!"

"This class was amazing. We were given a shopping list and sent spice packets and recipe cards. The dinner we made During the zoom class was great. The dinner we created 3 nights later was amazing. I bought the spice box and love it. When you open it, the aroma is so nice. Do yourself a favor and sigh up for a class."

"My husband took me to a class recently for our anniversary. Such a great date night idea and the class was so much fun! The class was very interactive and Shilpi molded the menu to accommodate the class. I feel comfortable playing around with new spices and making spin-offs from her meals using what I have in the kitchen. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there and try something new! Shilpi is so hospitable and her warm personality is contagious. I'm already talking to friends and family to plan a private class."

"Shilpi Ranjan is a wonderful person and chef. Had this pretty cool night making a phenomenal meal with Shilpi. I'd really suggest you to take this easy Indian class. You leave the session with confidence in remaking dishes plus Shilpi makes these adorable samples of spices for you to take home. Not only you have a wonderful night learning new recipes, you leave with much more. These classes makes you new friends and they allow you to swap some awesome life stories."

"I just had the best time making a recipe I’ve dreamed of making for years but never have until now. Shilpi was so attentive, so patient with all my questions, and so much fun! The end result was DELICIOUS and I would definitely feel comfortable making it again on my own. Thank you for a great night!”

"Great instructor, great food. Shilpi was patient, flexible, and attentive to each guest. She engaged each of us, so that it was participatory and provided a space that made us feel comfortable asking questions along the way. Shilpi also helped troubleshoot if any of us made a mistake along the way or didn't have a listed ingredient. I loved the fragrance and quality of the spices she sent. Excellent experience overall and great for remote celebrations. Thank you, Shilpi!"

"The amount of patience and knowledge Shilpi has with her cooking is amazing. The zoom class was fun! She has us show her what was in our pots while cooking so she could see the consistency and texture. The spices she mailed out to us prior was perfectly measured. And she would cook along side us so we could see what hers looked like. Highly recommended."

"It far exceeded my expectations. On the way to the class, I got stuck in some unexpected Boston traffic and arrived 30 minutes late. Shilpi welcomed me with open arms and integrated me right into the class. At first, I was a bit intimidated by all of the ingredients, but Shilpi is a pro and was able to explain things in a way that really makes sense. It seemed that over the course of a few hours, I really began to understand Indian cuisine in away I never had before. By the end of the lesson, 6 of us had all participated in 3 dishes, 1 soup, and 1 bread, which just goes to show you how well Shilpi can multi-task. We all peacefully enjoyed our meal together and were given Indian spice sample packs and copies of the recipes to take home. We were not rushed whatsoever at the conclusion of the class. I will, without a doubt, be attending more classes with Shilpi at EZ Compliments. Highly recommended!"
