Hi Rajul,
I am a big time fan of good food and thats what makes me try out new restraus outside. I know cooking but the interest and passion lacks and because of that i do not know cooking of variety of cuisines.
I attended your class yesterday (14th Sep 2013) of Punjabi cuisine, it was definitely an eye-opener for me as i got to know tips, saw somebody actually cooking food i usually order in a restrau, many ingredients we know but hardly use. After the class i tried panchratan dal and it turned out really good. Today I cooked dal makhni, gobi taka tak with lachha paratha and it was AWESOME. I even shared with my fiance and in-laws (they are punjabis) and i got LOTS of PRAISE. I am yet to cook for my mom for whom m a lazy person and does not like cookng.

Looking forward to attend few more classes.
An interest to experiment out more in cookng has developed.

Thanks,
Nilima

Sarita Feedback received via email

Dear Rajul,

 I want to immensely thank you for the wonderful cooking that you have taught us. I had a dinner at my place yesterday and for the starters I made the Makhana Kebab, Katori chaat and Tostadas that you have taught us. With your perfect recipe booket and your precious tips, they seriously took quite less time and tasted great. Your classes have really added a new spice in life!

 Thanks Again,

Sarita

'Hi Rajul,

I had attended your Cakes and Cookies class a couple of weeks back. It was an amazing experience.

Thank you for giving such lovely tips and tricks too.

I tried the Shrewsbury biscuits and pineapple cake. They were a hit at home. My family could not believe that I can bake a yummy cake. That too just like a cake from any reputed bakery. My family preferes my Shrewsbury biscuits to Kayani's now.

I have tried to bake earlier too but failed miserably. I am so glad that I finally succeeded.

Thank you so much once again.

Attaching a couple of pictures.

Ritu

Sanyukta sent her feed back via email on the More dessert workshop 

Dear Rajul,

Vedika & I tried out the Mango Fantasy, Srawberry Cheesecake as well as Tiramisu on Monday & Tuesday. All of them turned out great!

Infact, on the way home from Saturday's class we picked up some ingredients and then went back on Monday to get the remaining. This Saturday we'll make the Pineapple Souffle. 

 Thankyou so much for these wonderful recipes!

 Now, we no longer have to think about what dessert to serve.....whoever visits us henceforth for dinner will be sure to get one of these five desserts! 

It was a great learning experience for Vedika as it was the first Cookery class that she attended. We love your straightforwardness and spontaineity!

Thanks a lot!

Rajul dear,

The entire family returned from Mumbai last Saturday, famished. I welcomed them home first with the delicious aroma of pizza baking in the oven and then with a soft base, crisp on the top, deliciously melted mozarella and salami, olives and basil. 

I loved listening to the mmmmm's and the 'wow, this is delicious' comments. And I have you to thank for.

Will see you around..thanks for your continuous support over mail. 

Have a wonderful and fruitful new year!

 Hi this is Manisha, i had attended ur cakes on cookies workshop this sat..... I made shrewsbury biscuits today n they have turned out simply amazing, very crunchy, delicious taste, they just melt in mouth... I had tried to make them many times before but i always failed but this time i blindly followed ur receipe n got the desired results, also the way u taught was very easy to understand. Im gonna make the cake very soon, will send u the snaps.....
Thank u so much

HI Rajul,

This is Megha Madhamshettiwar. I have attended ur mexican n snacks classes. In r society we had stalls for the ganapati funfare.  I had kept tacos. U wld not believe it I made a sale  of Rs 1400/- just in approx 90 mins. It was a total hit. I had people cmg an telling me time n again that it is just flawless.  Just for some tangy taste I was topping it with homemade salsa. Everyone  really freaked on it. So thanx a ton for teaching me this wonderfil dish.

 Thank You

Mangla Sent the cake pics she made
First I have prepared a very small cake with the ingredients shown in the receipe, just to check whether it will be OK as I had to give it to my friend's birthday (Operator in my college).  When it was ok, I prepared the same cake with double quantity and decorated.  I am sending a picture of the same and also the cakes prepared earlier.

I really don't believe each of them who tried a very small piece praised me like anything.  Even one of my friend has told me to teach her.  Some of them thought it was purchased from monginis and were turning around the cake box up and down to find the missing stamp of monginis.  One of the senior most person to whom we had fooled that it was from outside, was confused because he said I don't like cake from outside but this seems very tasty.  Sending some of the pictures and also the pineapple cake photo.
Thanks for the wonderful and awesome receipe.  I had attend two classes of eggless cakes earlier but failed.  Hence I was not at all confident.  But after the praises from a small kid to senior citizens, I have now become overconfident.
Only I am ale to get through the rose petals.  I don't remember which colour you had used.  While adding and trying different colours, my cream had become very lose and could not hold the petals.  Hence only the roses have been failed.  I was confused with rasberry and orange red colour, mixed both and the final colour you will see in the picture.
Regards and see you after Dasera.

hii..
i have just started attending your classes.So far i m done with two.
As i have stayed in hostel for a major part of life cooking was only a fantasy for me.
Though i love cooking a fear had always entangle me.
But after attending your classes it only made me realize that cooking is also my cup of tea.
i see to it that i try one recipe everyday and the end product is amazing.
It has actually given me the required confidence and of course the most delicious recipes.
What i appreciate the most is the recipes have a professtional as well as a homely touch.

Thai class Feedback--Deepa

I had been waiting for 5 weeks and finally the Thai class took place :)! The curries, soup, noodles and salad - all the dishes were amazingly tasty! I had to make some dishes on Saturday itself at home so I took lemon leaves and lemon grass from Rajul. I made green curry, pad thai noodles, tom yum soup and side of brown rice for the family. All the dishes became such a hit! This class is just superb. All the family members are so happy and thankful that I have found these classes :).The oher day when I started making the Tom Yum Soup, the house was full of Kafir leaves' smell. It was so refreshing and wonderful smell. The kadhai in which I was making the stock looked so colourful - my hubby took a nice pic. Attaching it here ....

Hey Rajul

My son is a Hakka Noodles fan and he was so excited about the new Chinese recipes. I made Hakka, Fried Rice, Schezwan Fried Rice and Vegetables in garlic sauce. We all had a lovely chinese treat on Sunday evening - thanks to you! The noodles came out great - just like the restaurant style :)

Cheers,

The much awaited chat class was amazing! The tips made the bhallas so fluffy and they just melted on the tougue. I made dahee-bhalla-papdi-chaat for the guests who visited us on Monday and it was a major hit. I have attached a couple of pics of the dahee bhalla dish that I prepared with this mail. Thank you so much for the wonderful classes.

Cheers and looking foward to the next classes!

Dimmple say on classes

At the outset, I wish to personally thank you for your genuine efforts to make the class interactive and productive. I tried to implement most of the dishes I learnt in your class and the end results were truly fascinating. You made every difficult receipe seem achieveable. My husband enjoyed many of the scrumptious receipes I prepared based on your workings. No wonder they say “The way to a man's heart is through his stomach" Cooking for a man is a good way to win his affections.

Thanks a Million!

Dear Rajul

I did manage the Humus- Falafel-Pitabread on Saturday night. Trust me, it was the best meal I have ever cooked. Thanks for that. One can cook anything from recipe books. But to look at something being cooked in front of your eyes makes all the difference. It increases your confidence to cook that item independently.

A blog is a very cool idea indeed.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Rajul,

I have successfully tried all the icreams and sponge cake as well. I had carried the ice-creams to office also. Now my friends do not like icecreams purchased from outside.
