“The flavors in Darshana’s food are exotic without being too complex. The dishes she prepares for a meal compliment each other and are beyond delicious. I always finish a plate feeling nourished and satisfied, but still want to eat more! I can’t wait to learn to prepare some of the dishes myself, although I know they won’t have that Darshana touch. You can feel LOVE coming through her food and that is why she is cooking for my wedding!” – Leyla Dervish

Darshana’s class was a delight and her food is tasty, clean, and full of flavor!
Darshana’s cooking classes are as classy as she is! From the dishes she designs, to the way she displays each spice and chopped food, all the way through to the end result, everything is exquisite. Long ago Darshana became one of my all time favorite chef’s. She’s changed my perception of Indian Cooking by not only creating dishes that are perfectly balanced in flavor and digest well, but by bringing the art of cooking back to its medicinal roots while making each meal a succulent feast. As a teacher, she is incredibly well organized, and is empowering to others by demonstrating how each dish can be made through following a series of simple steps. I highly recommend learning all that you can from her, as I hope to for years to come!
Darshana’s cooking class is an absolute delight. The presentation is like a painting with all of the spices and ingredients making up Darshana’s palette resulting is a colorful, healthy, meal that is filled with love and very satisfying. The recipes are well described and she even gives new students samples of the various Indian spices. I would highly recommend a class with Darshana! You will not be disappointed.

I am a meat eater at heart and grew up in the south where every meal should be meat and potatoes. However when I went to a Singular City event where Darshana was the caterer, I was blown away. I did not miss eating meat and the food was so flavorful that I went back for seconds. Thank you so much for teaching me the joys of Ayurvedic Vegan Cuisine.
Thank you for sharing with us some secrets of Aryuvedic Cooking and Indian spices. I always wanted to learn how to make a flavorful Indian dish. Now I am ready to go and get some new and exciting spices.
Thank you,
