- 5/5 from Jane Chapman, attended Sep 2021: Aseel was a delight and so easy to work with. She was so patient with the 16 of us having different speeds of cooking. The food was delicious and we completed all 3 dishes within the 2 hours, amazing. We loved the music that was played throughout and hearing about Aseel's humanitarian projects, you are an inspiration.
- 5/5 from Anna-Lena Richardson, attended Sep 2021: Aseel's class was so much fun and the entire team loved the energy as well as the delicious meals we got to enjoy in the end. We will be back for another class! Highly recommend!
- 5/5 from Vanessa Midwinter, attended Sep 2021: This cooking class was a wonderful mix of team building, beautiful story telling and singing and cooking delicious dinners! A fantastic experience of different culture and cuisine all from our home kitchens. Would highly recommend to any groups.
- 5/5 from Ka Chu, attended Sep 2021: We had a team-building virtual cooking session with Aseel and it was a delight to be able to experience authentic Middle Eastern food from our own kitchens! The ingredient boxes arrived via express post (make sure you check your mailbox!). We got the shopping list of fresh ingredients closer to the scheduled cooking day. Aseel was a great host and answered all of our questions during the cooking session and is responsive over WhatsApp and email. We had a great time cooking and the food turned out to be quite refreshing!
