"Our cooking lesson with Rochani was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We were provided with ingredient lists and vegetarian substitution suggestions in advance, as well as necessary cooking implements. Rochani was very welcoming and communicates fluently in English. She started the session on time and her friendly style comes through even on Zoom. She instructed four of us, in three separate locations and offered suggestions to vary the meal prep based on what we had available. Rochani's location in London, UK allowed us to experience Nepalese cooking with a very reasonable 5 hour time difference from eastern Canada."

"Really loved the feeling of travel via culinary experience and connection across time zones with Rochani. It was fun to share stories of how we are coping and where we have been and the food was so unique. We used techniques and spices I've never tried and the dishes came out great."

"We LOVED learning to cook Momos and Spiced Meat from Rochani. We enjoyed meeting Rochani and learning about the importance of these dishes to her family. Everything was incredibly delicious and we can't wait to make these dishes again!! "
