What people are saying

"The Thai curry class was a Christmas gift to my wife. Elaine is an excellent host and Soy, her colleague, is a great chef and excellent at explaining and demonstrating techniques and the use of ingredients as well as sharing some of the history of SE Asia which I especially enjoyed. Our small group got along very well and were able to chop, peel and cook three different curries which we then all enjoyed eating together. I would definitely take classes from them again."

"I arranged the dumpling and mochi classes for our remote work socials via Elaine at Dash of Soy. These classes were exceptional, delicious food and brilliant hosting. I cannot recommend Elaine highly enough, we will definitely use her again :)"

"My daughter celebrated her 16th Birthday at Dash of Soy with the Make Your Own Udon class. Chief Mikiko was a wonderful teacher, providing instruction and telling us about the history of udon and its components. We made the noodles from scratch, kneading the dough using our feet, which the kids (and adults) enjoyed. Even though there were several different dietary restrictions (gluten-free, vegetarian, and pescatarian), Chief Mikiko had substitutions which were super tasty. Lots of fun and highly recommended!"
