Shailini Sisodia was born in Kathmandu, Nepal, and with her father being a well-known UN diplomat, the family lived all over the world. Massachusetts, however, has now been her home for the past few decades. A lifelong educator, Shailini taught at both Boston University and Northeastern University earlier in her career, and while she really enjoyed that, she is currently living her true passion by teaching people how to cook food that is both delicious and nutritious. Toward that end, she teaches many different types of cuisines in her Boston area cooking classes, including in her own home, and most recently taught at the well known Christopher Kimball's Milk Street Kitchen. Shailini is also the cooking teacher at Hayden Rec, where her classes fill up within minutes! She is grateful to get rave reviews from all her students, ages 3 on up! She is a Head chef at Lexeatogether, here in town, and does other food related volunteer work, as well. Shailini also taught a zoom class, "Fun and Fancy appetizers" for the library and has been featured in local media, including the "Lexington Minuteman", "the "Colonial Times" and a FB platform called "Women who win/Dreamcatchers"
