About Divya
Hi, I’m Divya, a professional chef with over a decade of experience in the culinary world. My journey began at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America, where I earned a degree in Culinary Arts and Food Business Management. Since then, I’ve trained in Michelin-starred kitchens, worked internationally, and honed my skills in crafting exceptional dishes that blend global techniques with local, seasonal ingredients. Beyond the kitchen, I’ve pursued a Master’s in Food Systems Economics and Policy from Tufts University, deepening my understanding of sustainable food practices. I’ve also collaborated with organizations like Google Food and J-PAL to advance food literacy and sustainability. As a teacher, my goal is to inspire confidence, creativity, and curiosity in my students. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced cook, I bring a warm, supportive approach to help you master new skills, explore exciting flavors, and connect more deeply with your food. My classes are hands-on, tailored to your skill level, and enriched with insights into the culture and science behind every dish. Join me, and let’s create something extraordinary together. Whether you’re here to elevate your everyday cooking or explore the art of fine dining, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
