Introduction
20 years of experience cooking delicious authentic Indian cuisine. 14+ years of experience teaching cooking classes professionally at Fairfax County Public Schools (Adult Education Department) as well as privately in-home.
I love to teach easy, delicious food in a fun hands on method. The recipes include vegan recipes and are cooked using fresh ingredients . The rates are reasonable and I buy all the grocery. The food you cook is taken home by you to enjoy with your family/friends. I am available to provide support after the class is over. The class includes salad, curries, rice dishes and desserts.

Manjiri is an exceptional teacher! My cooking skills are at the "beginner" level. I first cooked a four course Indian meal with Manjiri in her kitchen and then was able to cook the same meal on my own because of her excellent instruction. I have since taken additional lessons from her because I found the experience very rewarding.

My two young-adult daughters and I attended a cooking session with Manjiri in her very clean home. We are huge fans of Indian cuisine, and were thrilled to find somebody local, who could teach us how to prepare some of the dishes. Manjiri spent about 2.5 hours teaching us how to make five dishes, including the recipes, how to choose and where to purchase the ingredients, and how to cook the dishes. She then allowed us some private time to enjoy our freshly cooked meal. We got to take home so many leftovers to enjoy later! We highly recommend!

Manjiri was a delight to learn from! She welcomed us into her kitchen and was a very effective teacher! We learned how to make some of our favorite Indian dishes, and we feel confident that we can replicate these in the future. Thank you so much for a wonderful class!

Chef Manjiri gave us a wonderful private class! I gave this class to my husband for his birthday. He says it's the best gift he's ever gotten. We had so much fun, learned so much, and can't wait to try all the recipes at home. We HIGHLY recommend Chef Manjiri's cooking classes!
