WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in the Bay Area

This was fun, informative, and delicious! Maggie made a custom menu for us and was extremely positive and accommodating. She was extremely professional and prepared, and she was totally unfazed by our rather small kitchen. Highly recommend!

Chef Pooja showed my partner and I how to make some very tasty uttapams, dosas with a curry potato filling, and ladoo, all of which were new experiences for us! She was an expert guide in the cooking process, and did most but not all of the prep work, so we could participate a little bit in the prep as well as all the stovetop cooking. We also really liked the chutneys that were part of the dish! Pooja was also very personable and was easy to hang out with as we prepared and ate the food. We had a mix-up with timing for a previous reservation and she was very accommodating, and helped to plan a new time as well. All around a friendly, professional experience.

He was a wonderful chef. Explained all the preparation of the dishes. He also told us a little bit about the history of the dishes, and he was very personable. He was easy to understand, and we very much enjoyed the experience we would not hesitate to book another experience with him. He responses to text messages and is knowledgeable. Barb Hantsbarger

Chef Parsati was a great teacher and amazing host! Her kitchen was very clean and the overall atmosphere was very warm and friendly. We were amazed by her experience and expertise of cooking different cuisines. The dishes we made were very easy to follow and she helped guide us throughout the whole process. She even changed the recipes a bit to match our personal tastes! Overall the food was excellent and Chef Parsati was an incredible teacher and great conversationalist. We will definitely be coming back to try her other classes!!!

Chef Parsati was awesome! She was very knowledgeable about cooking and shared tips in a easy to remember way. The food was amazing (healthy seasonal indian cuisine) and I am already planning on making it for my friends this week. My team had a great time cooking and eating together in your home. Thank you!

All I can say is WOW!!! My college son (21) and I had a wonderful experience learning about Indian cooking, spices, how to combine, and how to enjoy. Chef Parsati was so welcoming, full of knowledge and a vast background of all cuisines. My son and I made the exact same meal for my family a few days later and everyone loved it. My husband said "this is the best curry I've had this side of England" I can't wait to make it again for friends and show off my new skills and understanding of Indian cuisine. Thank you Chef Parsati. You made my special time with my boy a memorable experience.

My partner and I had a great time with this unique experience for our anniversary. Thank you again for hosting, sharing your knowledge and skills with us, and giving us a surprise candle gift, chef! We truly appreciated your passion in cooking. More blessings to your classes! ?

Chef Parsati's class was fun and informative, and of course, the food was delicious. Chef took the time to explain to us the nuances of Indian cuisine's flavors and techniques while creating a welcoming environment for the group to cook in. We highly recommend this class!

Will D.

Chef Parsati's skill in cooking and teaching is only matched by her enthusiasm. The entire experience was wonderful from learning new cooking techniques, to the conversation, and of course the food was incredible. She has a wealth of knowledge both in how to make excellent food, but also how to cook in an accessible, healthy way. I'd recommend her classes to anyone looking for a great cooking class and overall experience!

Chef Parsati's Indian Cooking Techniques class is the second class I have taken from her. As with my first experience, the class was a delight, with easy-to-follow, hands-on instruction provided with informative technical and historic background. Chef Parsati goes out of here way to ensure a warm, comfortable, and accommodating atmosphere, with the class culminating with a lunch of the truly delicious food we prepared. After the first class, I was easily able to prepare every dish presented and have done so repeatedly. I look forward to cooking the the dishes from my second class. Furthermore, as I did with the first class, I also look forward to applying the lessons learned, both in cooking techniques and Indian spices, to other dishes. Chef Parsati's classes were well worth the money, and I recommend them. In fact, Chef Parsati offers yet another class that includes Indian royal chicken/vegetable biriyani. I plan to take that class next.

I did the Ayurveda course from Chef Parsati as a Christmas gift for my mom and she loved it!!! The experience was amazing, all the meals we cooked were so delicious, and we learned so much about the ayurveda cooking from Chef Parsati. I am a full on beginner but I felt comfortable in Chef Parsati's kitchen. The vibes were great and the food. 10/10 experience!

Beverley H.

You need to improve your communication. I became very apprehensive when I sent 3 messages via your website to the chef and no answer til the afternoon of the day before the event. Then he shows up 25 min late with no forewarning. Very embarrassing and cause of anxiety for me. Lorenzo was charming, very knowledgable about the food prep and cooking, very fun. I did give him a tip as he was leaving.

Bryson B.

01/05/2023

Chef Parsati was an absolute delight. She welcomed us into her home and indulged us in the techniques related to Indian cooking. She shared her wealth of knowledge in the culinary field and made sure we understood the process of the foods we were cooking. The dishes we made were incredibly delicious, and we definitely want to make them again. We highly recommend chef Parsati!

Dirk's cooking class was so much fun and we met some really great people! The food was delicious. It was the best Cozy Meal experience I've had out of the four I've attended. We tipped $25 at the event, fyi. Thank you Dirk!

Chef Parsati is amazing! She's travelled and lived all over the world and brings that experience along with a strong culinary knowledge into her cooking. She's a great teacher and welcomed us into our home where we took her heathy Indian cooking class. We learned a lot, the food was delicious, and Parsati's timing to be able to fit four dishes (two entrees, a dessert, and an appetizer) in a short time frame was definitely impressive. We had an amazing time, so thank you Chef Parsati!

Chef Pooja was wonderful and we enjoyed our dinner tremendously. Learned a lot about Indian cooking.

We had so much fun and learned so much with Chef Daniel. My wife and I went to his pasta making class and it was great. The space is neat and prepared for cooking and he guides you step by step. Very thoughtful and well prepared. We'll definitely do other classes with him.

Our experience with Chef Doug was fantastic! Not only was the food amazing, but he was wonderful company to have over for the evening and he left our kitchen cleaner than it was when he arrived. We canвЂ™t wait to try the recipes he left us again and canвЂ™t recommend him enough!

Evan S.

10/01/2022

Chef Doug was amazing. The recipes were delicious and he was very hands on in the lesson. He was also extremely friendly, and made great conversation. He also brings everything you need for the lesson, and does a great job cleaning afterwards. 10/10 will definitely do another course! Thanks for a fantastic evening!

I brought my friend for the Hawaiian cooking class with Chef Parsati to celebrate her 50th birthday and we had a wonderful time! Chef Parsati was very friendly and knowledgeable and the food was amazing. Chef Parsati's home was a very clean and cozy environment that made for a very personal experience. We would highly recommend this class!

William G.

Fantastic! Would highly recommend!

Morgan L.

08/06/2022

We had a great time, and the tapas and paellas that we were making are something that I can continue to make at home. It was delicious. But more importantly, Chef Daniel is patient and thoughtful. He shares his experience organizing one's kitchen, prepping before cooking, using a knife effectively, and managing the heat during cooking, all of those little things that make up an excellent dish. Something you couldn't get from merely reading and following the recipe. It is about learning great cooking habits and workflow. One tends to want to cook more often if one has a great workflow and process to achieve the desired outcome.

Namita N.

Chef Parsati was awesome. She explained minutest of details while letting us prepare the food. Those tips and tricks are the ones that will make your food shine. Also, she will ask you what are you looking for from this class and she will make sure you learn it from this class. She even told us how to pair certain dishes to enhance the taste of overall meal. I loved her class and recommend it to everyone.

Chef Parsati was wonderful. She is very sweet and knowledgeable, and made us feel at home and confident in the kitchen. Such a great experience!

Elliot E.

We had a great time. Chef Pooja was well prepared with everything laid out and was very knowledge with all the answers to our questions. The food was great and we even had leftovers for the next day. We've already incorporated a number of her techniques into cooking other dishes which has definitely elevated their flavor.

Steven M.

03/05/2022

Chef Parsati did a great job of explaining the principles while we cooked. We participated in making 5 different dishes and they were all delicious. We're looking forward to trying ourselves at home!

Catherine W.

Thank you Chef Parsati! My son and I had so much fun cooking with you and the 4 servings he ate were a testament to your recipes! We canвЂ™t wait to do more classes with you.

Steve M.

This experience was absolutely splendid! Chef Parsati is warm, authentic, fun, funny, knowledgeable, inviting. Really could not say enough about how wonderful she is. The food was stellar and she walked us through substitutions, modifications, and techniques that we could employ. We will most definitely be cooking a number of these recipes again and likely soon haha. I would highly recommend taking a class with Chef Parsati. My cheeks hurt from smiling!

My friend and I had amazing time! Great company, energy and food. We will definitely do this again!!

Laura V.

Chef Parsati is wonderful! I booked her class as a gift for my boyfriend. The class was just us and another couple, which was the perfect size to do a lot ourselves while also having time to watch, listen, and absorb everything she was teaching us. She clearly knows a lot about Indian cooking, and cooking in general, and was an excellent host. Definitely recommend anything she is teaching!

Meredith V.

I booked this experience with Chef James as a Christmas present from our grandma to her granddaughter. She's 11 and is interested in being chef. Chef James was wonderfully inviting and friendly from the moment we all stepped into his home, and enjoyed some cheese, meats, and anchovy stuffed olives. We then helped to cook the risotto, and enjoyed the fruits of our work :) The risotto was amazing, cooked perfectly and so flavorful! We also loved the dolce cake for dessert - it was a wonderful end to the evening. I would recommend this experience to anyone!

If you are a first time Chef or an experienced one, look no further than Chef Parsati. Not only did me and my date learn all about Indian cuisine, but we had a wonderful time with her as well. She talks super fast, but is incredibly knowledgeable and understanding to new cooks. She is also incredibly patient and I never felt that she was rushing us. Quite the opposite, I actually felt that she was more happy to share her craft with us, and I really couldn't be happier with the experience. The cauliflower dish we made was the best vegetarian dish I ever tasted and the lentils we made were to die for. Chef, thank you so much for making this night possible and I hope to come again soon!
