Sajni Datwani, is a Toronto-based food enthusiast and a culinary instructor whose clients have given her the nickname of “sweetheart”. Love & Spice Cooking aims to turn willing souls into extraordinary cooks with the ease of adding a dab of spice, pesto, or panko.

Her son has always been her biggest inspiration. He loves her food and, when he was asked what he wanted to eat, he would reply: “surprise me, mom”. That allowed her to think big and made her want to create something exotic to tickle and delight his taste buds.

She firmly believes that cooking is an art that can be mastered, but love and spice are a combination that creates magic in the kitchen. Her students find her unique persona mesmerizes them by showing them how easy and fun cooking is, and the importance of adding love to it.

She has the knack of weaving her love for cooking with anthropology, resulting in a delicious and interesting meal. By fusing the exotic ingredients of the East into the stressful lifestyles of the West, she creates a global and playful palette of food, with plenty of heat, heart, and health.

Her creativity comes from being a Marketing/Production Specialist, who thrived in the advertising world, a graphic designer, a painter, and a Master in Ikebana. In short, her creative flair has enhanced her cooking skills, and she is excited to share it with you!
