TESTIMONIALS
Here's what previous participants in this Course say about their experience:
It was so much fun doing the rainbow pasta especially when your kid is a pasta lover and also a fan of rainbow colors. He was so excited that he can have rainbow colored pasta for his dinner tonight.... trust me it was so delicious :) Though we experimented mixing few colors with baking soda and vinegar, I have used colors without the additives to cook pasta as I added more than the daily recommended dosage for experiments.... We made natural food colors using Turmeric, Saffron, Carrots, Spinach and Beetroot.

Since I’ve done the Natural colours used to dye fabrics course I was very happy when this course was announced ...it has really helped me in understanding the importance of using home made edible food colours..Manya is an excellent teacher and a very knowledgeable person. Would love to learn more from her.
- Preetam Thakur
Thank you so much Manya. Being brutally honest here! Before enrolling I had my doubts about this whole concept and a part of me felt “what’s the big deal”. And now I can’t stop thinking about how to take this to the next level, having learnt about the science behind this, not to forget how harmful the commercial food colors could be!
