    Overall the class was fun but wasn't quite what we were expecting. We shared a cooking station with another couple who we didn't know; this meant that we had to share the items and awkwardly try to agree on spice levels and other details. The other couple got a little heavy handed with some ingredients which greatly affected the flavor of the meal. There were also issues of our comfort level in handling each others' food. It was also very difficult to hear the instructor (perhaps better to have them on a microphone). It would have been nice to know exactly what masala spices we were given up front (they were just premeasured on a plate).

    The teacher and the class were great! The only suggestion was for the teacher to remind everyone to use SALT in their dishes. We forgot so basically the food was tasteless. Also if the class was earlier it would’ve been a plus too. Say 6:00 pm.

    The techniques and recipes from the class were really cool and fun to learn, and the instructor did a great job explaining everything. I also loved having the workers around to clean up for us! Unfortunately, the finished product from the class was not a tasty meal. The curry was undercooked, chunky, and undersalted, the samosas were extremely dry and undersalted, the naan did not rise and was barely cooked in the pan. The rice was fine, but that's the only part we didn't have a hand in! This is after following all the class instructions to the letter, and it was disheartening to turn out a subpar meal when we've made much better curry on our own at home and were hoping to improve our skills.

    I was a little disappointed with this one. There were too many people, and it was difficult to see what the instructor was doing. There weren't printed recipes so no way to take notes. The food was taken away to be baked at an undisclosed time and temperature. There were no extras (like dipping sauces for the samosas--which were bland). The only recipe card we got was for a dessert that we didn't prepare and weren't served. The "helpers" were all very nice, but had no idea how to cook the recipes, so couldn't answer our questions. In the end, there was barely enough for a meal. All in all, it seemed more like the cook was a student doing a presentation than a teacher there to help us. Everyone was very nice, and I enjoyed meeting the people at my table, but I'm not sure I would take a class from Taste Buds again.

    I found the teacher to be very clear in her directions and helpful when we had questions. The space was very clean and well organized. I think that I will proportion the spices differently to suit my own taste. The class was slot of fun!

    It was a fun experience but in my opinion the ending wasn’t so great. A nice touch at the end would have been to provide tea and a small vegan dessert. Nothing big. Just a taste. Instead we were offered a non vegan dessert recipe at the end.

    Pretty basic indian cooking, ideal for a person who is looking to get a taste of some simple Anglo-Indian staples and vegan favorites. The class was engaging and we cooked in teams of four, which is nice if you're with a small group of friends, on a date/double date, or just looking to meet a few people. The instructor explained things very well, and I was happy to see that we received recipes at the end of the lesson. All in all, a pleasant evening (though, I will admit, the class begins a bit later than most!).
