My girlfriend and I attended Shoba's "Couple's Night" class last Friday, so I thought I'd post a quick review. This was the first Indian cooking experience for me, and the first formal class for her--previous attempts were limited to cooking out of a cookbook.

The class was very nice. Shoba had prepared a few dishes not on the menu ahead of time (tandoori chicken and a chickpea dish I can't recall the name of), as well as some snacks. Once everyone arrived (there were six of us), Shoba demonstrated how to cook each dish listed on the menu while those of us in attendance followed along and helped out.

Once all the dishes were prepared, we all ate together. The food was delicious. The quantities were huge, and we took home many leftovers (in fact, I've been eating the leftovers all week).

We had a great time. Anyone who is on the fence on whether to attend on of these classes should go. Shoba was a gracious host and good teacher.

I'll second that. I've attended two classes, both of which I enjoyed tremendously. Not only have I prepared the dishes Shoba demonstrated (she gives you copies of her recipes), but I've applied the techniques I learned to many other wonderful Indian dishes. I'll be going back again as soon as my schedule permits.
