Where every recipe starts
with a little joy
Step inside Bayleaf Studio and you'll find a kitchen built for real cooking, not just watching. Every station is stocked with the same tools you'd want in your own kitchen — sharp knives, warm ovens, and enough counter space for flour to fly a little. Sunlight, open shelving, and the smell of something always baking make it feel less like a classroom and more like a friend's kitchen on a Sunday afternoon.
Behind it all is Supriya Sreshtha, who started Bayleaf Studio after years of teaching cooking to anyone who'd let her — nieces and nephews, coworkers on lunch breaks, whole classrooms of kids. What began as a love for handing down recipes turned into a studio built around one simple idea: cooking is better shared.
Today, that same spirit runs through every class here. Whether it's a birthday party full of giggles and flour, a date night with new knife skills, or a weekend baking class with friends, our kitchen is built for real hands-on learning and real fun.
