Andrew Riggsby
"A delightful class with two very different dishes (and neither one you’d often see in an American restaurant). Zinnia was an excellent host."
Christopher Pankhurst
"Zinnia was really helpful and efficient, and the dishes were delicious. One of the best things about them is that they are so different from anything one can taste in the UK, and reminded me of my lovely holidays in India. Absolutely superb."
