Shalu conceived and cooked a meal for a birthday celebration. The menu was vegan, accommodated several dietary restrictions, and was delicious from start to finish. Two guests were literally scrapping for the last bits of the main course. Shalu was so thoughtful and professional from start to finish, even taking time to introduce each course before we ate. I cannot recommend Little Green Kitchen highly enough to help celebrate any occasion (or more regularly for that matter as all our guests concurred!).

Attended Shalu’s Sri Lankan cooking class with my husband and two of our close friends. Shalu was clear and concise in her instructions and made cooking a new cuisine to us feel so easy. We really appreciated the extra practical tips she shared with us - stir frying okra first so it’ll be less slimy later, why some spices are used whole and others are used ground, how to store spices etc. We enjoyed her class thoroughly and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a good cooking class to attend, even if you’re not vegetarian. Shalu manages to make vegetarian/vegan food taste delicious, keeping both palate and stomach very happy. Thank you Shalu!

Took the ‘Flavours of Southeast Asia’ class recently. We were 4 students in all - I attended the class with two other friends and I guess I made another new friend. :) The thing that I loved the most about this class was the instructor, Shalu, who seemed very passionate about cooking and the nutritional content of the food - she gave many tips along the way about planning our meals at home, how to transition into vegetarianism/veganism and creating a balanced diet. She was very thorough in her explanation of the ingredients and methodology, as well as some of the science behind the processes. The class took place at the instructor’s home, so the atmosphere was quite warm and comfortable, yet the organisation of the class was very professional. We also had help in cleaning the utensils between dishes, unlike a couple other classes I’ve attended where the students clean up after they are done (not complaining about the other classes, but it’s something of convenience when the tidying up is taken care of for you :)). We prepped the ingredients together as a team and took turns to cook each dish as well. Overall, I had a great time and would definitely recommend this class to anyone!
