Reviews for Indfused Cooking Classes-
Thank you for another nice cooking class on Saturday. I enjoyed the class on a number of different levels – I continue to love to prepare the dishes in my kitchen, where I get to practice everything I need to know (including sourcing, preparing and cooking the ingredients). The Goan Fish Curry was especially fun for me, since in the past, I have shied away from cooking fish, simply due to lack of experience and confidence. The recipe you chose for Saturday’s class was straightforward, and easily replicable. And most importantly, it was delicious! -~ KF
Last Saturday I had the pleasure of taking part in a Zoom online cooking class taught by my blogger friend, Sandhya. It was most informative and great fun cooking along with her. We made a burrito bowl with a scrumptious vegetarian filling. The best part? You get to eat the bowl well done Sandhya! ~ LM
