Sundari was a gracious host for our group (3 adults and 1 nine year old). We enjoyed learning some about the food and culture of this area. And the food was delicious! She is very open to personalizing the menu to your taste as well. We then enjoyed seeing a local produce market with many fruits and vegetables we’d not seen before, and to another interesting shop with all kinds of cookware (also many new things for us to see). Everything was very clean and comfortable all around. Highly recommend.

Incredible experience where Sundari walked us through various techniques of both the north and the south. She was flexible in catering the lesson to what we were interested in and going into details on techniques we were unfamiliar with. Highly recommend if you have time in Chennai!

I give 5 stars because it was not just an unforgettable experience but I had the chance to meet such amazing human beings like Sundari and his husband. So nice, kind and warm.
Before I start I just want to mention that it was so good and delicious that I went twice in 10 days. I couldn't resist and the food was the best I ate at Chennai.
Sundari was so helpful, kind and has become a friend for life. She's an expert and a real cooking teacher. She let me record the class so that I could do the same at home. All the recipes were send to me. She adapted the menu as I wish (Vegan) :)
Everything was explained in details and she gave me alternatives too.
I had a great and unforgettable time. Next time I visit India, I'll for sure pass at Sundari.
I can recommend this great and lovely experience to anyone.

Sundari exceeded my expectations of this lesson. She was helpful, talkative, open to ideas, explained each step in the cooking process perfectly and answered all questions I had. She is obviously an expert in what she does and a great teacher. I will definitely book another class with Sundari when I return to Chennai. The best cooking class I have participated in.

Was fantastic to talk to a feminist in south India about their experiences and views about living there. Probably didn't need to do the market visit, but the food was amazing, and Jyashree was great adapting her menu to be vegan. She even gave us some rasam powder to take with us!

Sundari welcomed me into her home and kitchen and showed me all of the steps to cooking an authentic meal. She was warm, friendly, and knowledgeable and asked me just as many questions about my life in the United States as I asked her about hers in India. The food was amazing and I greatly enjoyed sharing a meal with her. I recommend this experience to anyone!

Run, don't walk to make a reservation to cook with Sundari. She is not only an excellent cook, but also a terrific and gracious woman. Everything was laid out and ready for our cooking lesson and she explained exactly what she was doing and how/why she was doing it.
I can't think of a better way to spend an evening in Chennai. I was with her from 5 PM until 9 PM and had to be dragged away by my hotel driver. A great experience!!!

Anu was so warm and welcoming us in our home. We left (rolled out of her apartment) having sampled many dishes and feeling like we made a lovely new friend. We had never had an i home experience like this in all of our travels and would recommend anyone to visit Anu.

Sundari was an amazing host. She opened up her house to me like I was a close friend and fed me till I could not eat anymore. She taught me so much and was so helpful in answering any questions I had and she was one of the kindest people I have ever met. Next time I'm in Chennai I'm stopping by again! Thank you Sundari it was an amazing experience!
