Inspiring vegan cooking class with a wonderful host - 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!

Shilpa is great! - 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.

A great morning in Shilpa’s kitchen - 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.

Touching a Mumbai Home - 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.

An excellent chef who is passionate to share her cooking skills - 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.
