Chef Akshay was great! I was concerned about what the set up would look like in a home kitchen but it was phenomenally done! We had an amazing time!!! Food was fantastic! Definitely plan on coming back with a bigger group!

Chef Akshay invited us into his beautiful home with his amazingly renovated kitchen for his masterclass. You can tell right away how much passion Chef Akshay has for cooking when talking to him. The Asian Streetfood was so good that we made it the following night following his tips and recipes. Definitely recommend!

Chef Akshay was educational and engaging. My family had a wonderful time and said they learned a lot about the flavours and how they work together. They also enjoyed the personal stories that added context and colour to the recipes and experience. It was a perfect Christmas/Birthday gift for my Dad and Brother.

My husband and I had a really fun time at this class! The instructions were easy to follow and Chef Akshay is such a humble and down to earth guy. We had a blast and would definitely do more classes with Chef Akshay in the future. The food was also absolutely delicious and we will definitely be attempting to recreate the menu at home. Overall, a wonderful experience!

He walks into the session with a probe thermometer tugged to his jacket and says "Welcome to my masterclass" that is the moment you understand that its not just a class its a master's class. I follow him from his instagram and attended couple of sessions where he would make cooking so simple and elegant. His signature recipes are worth drooling and I am sure he would be very successful if he opens a restaurant in Toronto. I wish him good luck. Kudos to you chef Akshay.

A true hidden gem in Canada!!! I attended chef's masterclass cuisine of Dubai and I must tell you that it was way beyond my expectations. He got us even printed recipes and had stories to tell from all over the world. Such an insightful class that I have starting loving cooking again. All the recipes and methods were precise and he made sure that I learnt it right. :) Cant wait to try his other masterclasses.

One of the most innovative and happy chef I have ever come across. A true professional who ensures you lesrn while he demonstrates his skills. His cooking classes are a treat for all my friends. His knowledge of various cuisines and such a humble personality ensures that we come back for his culinary adventures. Attended last session as a part of world food in London and was a superhit as chef paired food with some great whiskies.
