We have made several of the recipe's at hoe and they have come out spectacular...Coconut Curry Shrimp, Goan Okra, Navratna Korma, Navratna Pulav, Besan Ka Halwa, Sheera and Masala Fish Fry with Tilapia. The Tilapia especially makes you hear chorus angels singing when you bite into it! Truly and joy and an honor to cook Ayesha's recipes.

It was a wonderful and unique way to celebrate my birthday. Ayesha was the perfect hostess and we all learned a lot about Indian spices. The curried chicken was absolutely delicious and it seems to be really easy to make, once you have the correct spices. I can't wait to try it out on my children when they come home from college! I look forward to trying some of the other classes. We had my 60th birthday celebration at Ayesha’s Kitchen. It was a wonderful and unique way to celebrate my birthday.

Wed, 24 Apr 2013 14:15:49 +0000 #comment-6137 My friend and I signed up for the Classic Indian Cuisine class and it was well worth the time. We learned all about the various spices used in cooking chicken curry and a few other traditional staples of the Indian diet. Ayesha is so knowledgeable and presents the recipes in a way that is simple to understand. She makes cooking fun. It was so easy that I made the chicken curry recipe the next night and it came out just like Ayesha's. Delicious! Also, met some very interesting folks who had taken her other classes and came back for more. Thanks so much for the great class and memorable experience!

We all enjoyed each mouth of bliss. And because we didn't go back for seconds, there was a little leftover for lunches today.

We selected the Vegetarian Class and registered. In our wildest dreams we never expected the results that we got from the Saturday morning class. Ayesha is very nice, a great cook and a great teacher. The recipes that we were taught were simple but powerful. The recipes mix of the food prepared complemented and balanced each other so well. Outside India, one of the most spectacular Indian dinners we ever have had. My husband, just learning how to cook, is going to try today the recipes and we have company. That is how good of a teacher Ayesha is. We recommend her classes without any hesitation!

What a delight ! I had so much fun the 1st day, I brought my fiancee and mom with me for the very next day class (I was fortunate enough that 2 people had cancelled their class and I was on the waiting list), so we all got to attend the class. I enjoyed learning cooking techniques and recipes. I mostly enjoyed sitting outside at a beautifully set table , cool breeze and the greatest Indian cuisine in Miami.

I surprised my wife for her birthday and surprised she was. It was a great experience and will definitely return for another. I would pay along for the food that we ate. It was superb.

I have taken six of Ayesha's classes and have thoroughly enjoyed each one for all the same reasons mentioned in the notes below. I have been asking my wife to invite all of her Irish friends over for an "Irish Night" dinner party featuring Ayesha's Indian food and it finally happened last Tuesday with 14 guests. The menu featured a greeting of Mango Lassis (mine with Bacardi of course), poppadoms and Aloo Tikkas for appetizers with onion (my recipe), cilantro-mint, and tamarind date chutneys. The entree was Chicken Vindaloo with Jeera Rice, Squash Vegetable and homemade Nan Bread. I made Ras Malai for dessert. My intent was to present a variety of dishes, some common and craved, but also some which will not be found on any restaurant menu and that plan worked beautifully! All of the Irish guests, each one coming already hooked on Indian food, marveled at the tastes, aromas, and flavors which they said was as good as or better that the best Indian restaurant experiences of their past. If you like Indian food, you must take some of Ayesha's classes. When you do, realize that the secret isn't just in the recipes. Pay close attention to process and technique as that is the basis of rich and authentic Indian food. You mayl never buy another Patak's Vindaloo paste. Ayesha you are the very best!

I have taken many of her classes and this new one was great. In this class, you learn to make Masala Masoor (a yummy lentil dish), Navratna Korma with an amazing rice to accompany it, a delicious cabbage salad, an super easy but delicious appetizer, and an easy dessert even a child can make. The flavors of Ayesha's foods are amazing and her recipes are easily reproduced at home. You can easily see the time and thoughtfulness Ayesha puts into creating her recipes and preparing for her classes. She does a wonderful job sharing history and culture, as well as flavor. The meal was delicious and I can't recommend Ayesha's classes highly enough. Once you take a class from Ayesha, you'll realize how many corners most Indian restaurants cut and how easy it is to make fresh, flavorful Indian food at home. Treat yourself. Your tastebuds will thank you! I took Ayesha’s Exotic Vegetarian Feast class last weekend. I have taken many of her classes and this new one was great.
