Absolutely Brilliant
What an incredible idea and so well put together. Monica's physical face to face classes are amazing and Shikshak delivers a very similar, personal experience. The live classes are very professional, well delivered and great fun.
The resources on the ShikShak website are wonderful, from videos to downloadable recipe cards you can't fault it. The ShikShak weekly curry clinic on WhatsApp is great too - it's become quite a community on WhatsApp and Facebook.
I absolutely love it all.

Thank you so much for your review Jacqui - really pleased to hear you're enjoying your SHIKSHAK membership! Thanks, Monica
Absolutely brilliant!
Shikshak is a fantastic online cookery platform that provides access to lots of easy to follow recipes with videos, live cookalongs and direct access to Monica the chef who answers any questions. After years of struggling to prepare authentic Indian meals I have finally cracked it thanks to my Shikshak subscription! The Facebook page and WhatsApp groups also make you feel like part of a community which is brilliant, with lots of people sharing photos and food ideas which has been great, especially during lockdown. I would highly recommend Shikshak.
