Love cooking? Ever thought of learning or teaching it but somehow dropped the idea? Well, here is an inspiration to all, a journey of a food lover which started from just creating a Facebook page to share their own recipes and dishes with the world. To their surprise, the Facebook page started getting likes (and the figure has been multiplying ever since). Some people also showed interest in learning cooking from them. They ignored those requests at first until the people from Delhi started dropping more queries. Then, they thought of getting into business and ASVI COOKING CLASSES came into existence.

It’s mere passion and love for food that has got them a huge name and fame. With strong determination and great hard work, they are a promising name which will inspire and teach many people in bringing out the chef in them. We got in a candid conversation with them. So, dig in a little deeper about them and get inspired.

Q.Did you go to a cooking school yourself? What inspired you to teach cooking?

A.No I have never attended any specific cooking schools, but yes I have been to some local cooking classes to get professionalism, like how to teach, how to decorate.

Talking about the inspiration – Actually cooking is my hobby since I was a child, among 5 sisters, I was the best cook at my home. I always got appreciation from my father whenever I cooked something new at my home.

After marriage my husband and in-laws took over the charge of appreciation. I am fond of watching television shows based on cooking and Master Chef is my favorite. My true inspiration is Pankaj Bhaduaria (Master Chef, season 1 winner) who is from my town, Lucknow.

Q. What all does Asvi Cooking Class teach –cuisines/types – food/beverages/desserts etc?

A.There is actually a long list since I teach a variety of cuisines like Indian, Chinese, South Indian. Also, I specialize in cakes, beverages, chocolates cookies and desserts. My personal Favorite is Chinese Cuisine in which I teach Chili Potato, Chowmein, Spring roll and Fried Rice.

Q.What’s your specialty dish – would you tell us a bit about it or share the recipe in brief – in cuisines , desserts or beverages?

A.Every dish, I teach has a different specialty & taste. But I am always excited to prepare different beverages; because beverages, most of the time have quick recipe. Here I am sharing one of my best beverages:-

CHOC-A- LAKA SHAKE

Ingredients-

• 2 cup Chilled Milk, 1 cup Chocolate Ice-Cream
• 2 tsp sweetened Cocoa Powder
• Crushed Ice
• Rich cream for decoration.

Method-

• Blend milk and cocoa powder in a blender for few seconds.
• Add ice-cream and crushed ice and blend again for few more seconds.

Q.What’s your personal favorite dish – would you tell us a bit about it or share the recipe in brief?

A.Talking about my personal favorite dish, I will choose Doughnuts any time. Doughnuts are usually deep-fried and are made out of flour dough, and are typically either ring-shaped or without a hole, and often filled. Various toppings and flavorings are used for its decoration, such as sugar, chocolate, or maple glazing with eatable sparkles or colored balls. In addition to flour, doughnuts may also include ingredients such as water, dry yeast, milk, sugar, oil/shortening, natural flavors and/or artificial flavors.

Q.Which is the most popular dish/cuisine among girls/women who come to learn cooking? A little about the dish ?

A.Most of the girls/ ladies come to learn chocolates, cookies, cakes and Ice creams though there have been few who have learnt basic Indian Cuisine as well.

Q.What has been your most interesting experience with cooking classes so far?

A.I recently got two students who didn’t came to learn any dishes; they wanted to learn basics of cooking, like chopping, grinding, using utensils properly etc. This was actually what you never expect.
