Fall Cooking & Baking Classes

My 9-year-old daughter took a virtual 12-week cooking course with Chef Meenu in Fall 2020. We weren't sure what to expect from an online cooking class, and Chef Meenu blew us away. She is so dynamic and interactive, it's like she was right here with us in our kitchen! She oversaw a group of 9-13 year olds with pretty advanced recipes, helped them hone their knife and cooking skills and create a lovely variety of recipes in their own homes. She really respects her students. I'm so impressed with how she's gotten to know our daughter so well throughout the course and given her insightful tips by working with her and observing over Zoom. Best of all: we've had delicious Friday night family dinners for months! Thanks Meenu, can't wait for the next course.
My daughter wanted me to send you pictures of her foccacia Bread. Thank you so much for teaching this amazing virtual cooking class!. You are such a gifted teacher. She has loved the class and we have loved our Friday night dinners!

We were so lucky to have Chef Meenu teach at our Young Men's Service League meeting last weekend! She was amazing with the teens. Chef Meenu brought EVERYTHING she needed for our outdoor venue - food, cookware, utensils, electric burners (because we didn't have a stove), and even plates & cutlery for eating what we'd cooked! It's not an easy feat to keep 24 boys engaged and learning outdoors, with basketball courts nearby... yet her calm, playful demeanor won them over and there they were chopping vegetables for nearly an hour -enjoying themselves! In an hour and a half, Chef Meenu taught them a bit about the spices and ingredients they'd be using, instructed them on how to prepare the ingredients and guided them as they cooked it all through to a delicious completion! Our boys are juniors in high school and frankly, when they complete the surveys at the end of our meetings, it's rare to score higher than a 3.5/5. The experience with Chef Meenu received a 4.5/5 from the boys! The highest we've had in our 3 years of monthly meetings. To anyone thinking of employing Chef Meenu, I encourage you 100% to move forward. As the event planner for our boys, I worked with Chef Meenu. She was so respectful and responsive to all of our needs. The only thing we provided was a location, some electrical outlets and willing participants! She made it easy and fun for all of us. Take the guess out of your event and let Chef Meenu help you. She is confident and highly qualified to lead you in a fun culinary experience!

Our son has been taking cooking classes with Chef Meenu since the 2nd grade. I knew we landed on an amazing class and teacher when I would pick him up from class, and his entire face would be beaming with pride! We have been taking cooking classes with Meenu for 3 years now, and it has been so fun!
Not only are the recipes great, but she also helps the kids believe in themselves (because she completely believes in them!
She has such a wonderful disposition and is so good on her feet. She models such warmth and positivity, and I am always amazed by how she can think on the fly with the comments and challenges the kids present in virtual cooking class.
It's been a lot of fun helping my son cook. Thank you for all you do to make this amazing and fun virtual cooking class happen. I would highly recommend Chef Meenu to anyone who has a kid interested in cooking. She has been amazing.
