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 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!

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!

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.

This is an overdue review for an incredible time with Chef Eric! My boyfriend and I took his French Pastry class around Valentine's Day and it was such a great learning experience. Eric walked us through all the steps, showed us his techniques of making the perfect dough, and also sent us home with extra dough so we could make a second galette at home on our own. Overall, highly recommend Chef Eric and we're looking forward to taking more of his classes!

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!

Katie G.

Chef Elham was really well-organized and generous with her advice, even about cooking techniques that weren't explicitly related to the class. (For example, she gave really good tips on knife skills, pans to use, and other tips). I was impressed that the class got to do and learn so much.

Mike K.

10/02/2021

Chef Parsati was wonderful - a gracious host and wonderful instructor. We took her Hawaiian cooking class as a three generation family event with ages from 14-82. Chef was able to connect with all of us and especially our 14-year old chef in training. A great experience and we will be back. As to the food - all terrific including things I would never have thought of like veggie poke. And the huli huli chicken was amazing.

A great experience! Chef Veronica did a great job preparing a tasty dish of blackened catfish with a papaya mango salad. Great conversation about her background, the food scene, and life in general! A fun and unique way to do a birthday!

Ruel is awesome! We were lucky enough to be the only couple who booked that night and had an amazing experience. We had so much fun cooking an amazing delicious meal.

Jennifer S.

My husband and I recently attended a cooking session with Chef Ruel. From the very beginning, he made all of us feel welcome and comfortable. His apartment is super clean and organized, and the space is truly ideal for this type of event. Chef Ruel is very knowledgeable about cooking techniques, recipes and skills, yet he introduces this knowledge in an easy-to-understand format. He asked lots of questions of us, and his goal was to make the experience fun and non-intimidating. That being said, we had so much fun, the food was absolutely amazing, and we came away with many great ideas. We plan to make this exact meal for an upcoming dinner party that we are hosting for friends. I hope to take more classes with Chef Ruel!

Scott L.

We loved the class, very informative with the right amount of work done for you mixed with hands on aspects. Tons of donuts, went home full with a to go box as well. Ryan was awesome and clearly knows what he's doing in terms of making donuts and running classes. I'll be recommending to friends and family for sure!

Very informative and intimate class! Chef Phoebe was very welcoming and answered all of our questions about cooking technique, how to get the best ingredients and what type of cookware is essential in a kitchen. The meal was absolutely fantastic and we cannot wait to replicate the menu on our own!

I was impressed right from the start with her warm greeting, bright smile, and excitement to show us her magnificent meals. The food was exceptional and I never thought going into the night I would learn so many new tips from Chef Zenaidy.??вЂЌ? I canвЂ™t wait to bang out that panna cotta recipe for my friends sometime! My fiancГ© and I would highly recommend this cozymeal experice with Zenaidy! We wonвЂ™t forget it!

Nader C.

I did the lava cake and floorless chocolate cake with my girlfriend. Chef Jean was highly entertaining, and the desserts were delicious (coming from a guy who is picky about sweets). We had a lot of fun with him, and would highly recommend this experience!

Unlike many other meatballs in the restaurant, the savoury tradition meatball dish that we had with James was authentic and made from very fresh ingredients (only the best) that makes it extremely enjoyable - one that you cannot miss if you havenвЂ™t already tried it. It leaves a lasting impression on our stomach and minds; we constantly crave for more. At the end, we had the most tasteful blueberry cheesecake that we thoroughly enjoyed. Beyond the food quality, James is a very down-to-earth person who is knowledgeable in his expertise and is warm, patient and friendly. These attributes contributed to our very fun-filled cooking class. He was also very thoughtful in the dinner set up with the candles and music which made the ambience very pleasant and romantic (you could even think of it as a candlelit dinner in the comfort of your own home) I would love to come back to the cooking class with him when I am back to San Francisco, I think our flight of 15 hours from Singapore is all worth it. Bravo to Chef James! I will highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a dinner party or just a private cooking class! He is THE Chef you are looking for. Too good to say good bye ! Love from Singapore .

Great experience!!! list meeting a long-time friend... and learning something at the same time. I will definitely cooking this meal for my family!! simple to make and fancy-looking - my kind of cooking!! We only brought one bottle of wine, which we finished while cooking, so Barbara brought out her own bottle when we sat down to enjoy the food. Awesome host!!

Kevin L.

07/30/2018

Chef Phoebe was an excellent host and teacher. She also has a beautiful new kitchen with tons of space and new appliances. The food and skills we walked away with were exactly what we asked for. I would highly recommend to anyone who was interested!

Brianna L.

Chef Barbara was amazing! Thank you for such a wonderful night. I wasn't quite sure what to expect as I'd never taken a cooking class before. I got this as an anniversary gift for my boyfriend and it was WONDERFUL! Chef Barbara was thoughtful and patient and wonderfully prepared. We both had some dietary restrictions that she went above and beyond to accommodate and it was a joy spending a night cooking in her home! Definitely would recommend this to anyone!
