    Fantastic class, the girls were incredibly upbeat and friendly and made the whole experience so enjoyable. I was on my own and I had a great time with them. You cook everything yourself with their guidance and there was no cleaning up on my part, they did everything for me. I would definitely recommend this class while in Kathmandu.

    Necol_B, Mar 2025
    This was Not a dull event. We laughed, we danced, we sang….I made a delicious meal. The bonus is the cookbook that you receive at the end of the event. When I make these meals at home, I will always remember the fun. Great job ladies….i.e.sistas.

    It is absolutely amazing...

    It is absolutely amazing and unique experience and I loved it! The ladies are so kind, attentive and fun!

    Wonderful women and fantastic meal.

    These young ladies are so much fun. We had a wonderful time cooking, sharing our stories and even dancing. The food we made was delicious and easy to make when we get home. We were in Nepal teaching English and we even managed to work on their English while we learned words in Nepali.

    So much fun

    This was an amazing experience. My wife and I enjoyed our cooking class with Sabita and Sushila. Not only did we learn how to prepare some excellent dishes, but we feel like we made new friends. We were able to practice some Napali words and we listened to some beautiful singing. These ladies were very prepared and you could tell that they put love into the class and the Nepali food. You can choose between 3 menu sets, so you can make what you feel like that day. We also received the recipes for all 3 menu sets. We really enjoyed our time and the great conversation. We would do this again the next time we visit Kathmandu. Don’t miss out on this experience, it is well worth it!

    Es war ein ganz schönes persönliches bereicherndes Erlebnis.

    Claudis_S, Nov 2024
    Der Ort ist en sehr heller, luftiger und sehr sauberer Raum. Die zwei Frauen, sushila und Sabita machen ihre Arbeit mit Leidenschaft und Freude. Es ist sehr entspannt mit ihnen zu kochen. Und dann ist es am Ende hervorragend was wir gekocht haben.
