Amazing afternoon with Shilpa! She is very knowledgeable and is happy to share all her tips while cooking the selected dishes. Food was amazing and we all took part in the cooking which made it so much fun. Thank you Shilpa for your humble sharing 🙏🏼
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so happy to hear you had such an enjoyable afternoon with Shilpa. She truly loves sharing her knowledge and cooking tips, and it’s wonderful to know you had fun being hands-on in the kitchen together. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to her, it will mean a lot. Thank you again for choosing to cook and share a meal with us. We hope to host you again on another culinary adventure soon!
We had a truly wonderful experience with Mrs. Guptka’s vegan cooking class and would absolutely give it 5 stars. As a couple currently traveling and consciously seeking more spirituality and health in our lives, this experience felt especially meaningful to us. Mrs. Guptka is incredibly lively, energetic, and full of warmth. From the very beginning, she made us feel genuinely welcome and created a joyful and open atmosphere. Her passion for cooking is deeply inspiring, and it is very clear that organic vegetarian and vegan food is not just a lifestyle for her, but a true philosophy she lives by. This added a beautiful depth to the whole experience. We especially appreciated how much she shared beyond the cooking itself – recipes, access to a WhatsApp group, and YouTube recommendations, so we can continue this journey at home. We prepared five different dishes together and then enjoyed them – everything was absolutely delicious! This was much more than just a cooking class for us; it was an enriching and inspiring experience that aligns perfectly with our path. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your beautiful and thoughtful review. It truly means a lot to us. We’re so happy to hear how meaningful your experience with Mrs. Guptka was, especially as you’re on a journey focused on health and spirituality. It sounds like such a special connection, and exactly the kind of experience we hope every guest has. Mrs. Guptka will be delighted to know that her passion, energy, and philosophy around vegan cooking resonated so deeply with you. She puts so much heart into what she does, and it’s wonderful to hear that it came through so clearly—not just in the food, but in everything she shared beyond the class. We also love that you’ll be continuing this journey at home with the recipes and resources she provided. That’s exactly what makes these experiences so lasting. Thank you again for choosing Traveling Spoon and for sharing such a heartfelt reflection. We wish you both many more meaningful and delicious moments on your travels ahead.
Shilpa welcomed my colleagues and I into her lovely apartment and gave us a whirlwind tour of a beautiful vegan meal. We all took turns contributing to three dishes and roti from scratch. She was generous with her knowledge and exceptionally efficient. I’d highly recommend this experience to anyone, and especially those who are interested in learning more about a plant based diet.
I had a lovely morning in Shilpa’s kitchen as we chopped, stirred, in seasoned. Shilpa’s warm approach made me feel at home right away. We had fun getting to know each other as we prepared a delicious meal. I left with new ideas, recipes, and a full belly. I’m grateful for Shilpa’s hospitality and her willingness to share a bit of her vast knowledge of Indian cuisine.
Wonderful. She is very professional and kind. Authentic experience. I loved the meal we made. Also taught me recipes which were not on the menu
It was good to be able to visit them at home and to be exposed to home cooking that is not a restaurant. He was very kind to me.
It is such a pleasure to be able to learn Punjabi thali with chef Shilpa. She is enthusiastic to share the secrets and techniques of preparation and techniques of cooking. Through out the class she explained every step in detail. She is such a nice and wonderful teacher and I enjoyed every minute of the class. I am happy that now I can cook some healthy Punjabi thali for my family. Thank you chef Shilpa.
Shilpa is a wonderful host and this activity provides a truly unique opportunity to learn to cook in her beautiful home. I felt welcome right from the start and learned a lot about Indian spices, dishes, and cooking techniques. The food was delicious too!
Excellent experience with shilpa both in the kitchen and at the market. I highly recommend this South Indian vegetarian cooking course
We had an amazing experience!! We learned about a lot of north Indian dishes and got to see how the different ingredients were used at different times. We also got to taste all the final dishes we made and had a very very good meal!
