Booked the class Biryani and South Indian Classics with Chef Rajeswari in East Bay (Union City)

My fiance and I took this class and I must say, this was the most easy to understand simplified cooking class Iâ€™ve taken. The food turned out great, and we were give so many tips and techniques and explanation behind the science of making biriyani. Chef Rajeswari was knowledgeable, fun, and personable. I will be taking more of her classes. We are Indian and the recipes she taught us will definitely impress our parents!

Wow--we made Vegetable Biryani (easily made vegan) which was amazing. We accompanied it with tandoori potatoes and halwa for dessert. Chef Parsati was so welcoming and encouraging, talking fast and working at the same time in her well-stocked kitchen. My son gave me the gift of the cooking class for my birthday and I brought a friend. I bought a spice box from Chef Parsati so I could make this festive meal at home. So excited. What a fun adventure. Highly recommend to all.

Chef Raaje was so welcoming and a pleasure to have as an instructor. The class and recipe was very easy to follow even as a beginner. She is mindful of your spice tolerance and everything came out so delicious! I would definitely recommend her class to anyone who has an interest in learning how to cook Indian cuisine.

Booked the class Biryani and South Indian Classics with Chef Rajeswari in East Bay (Union City)

From chopping and mixing to sautÃ©ing, frying, and tasting, my two teenage boys had an absolute blastâ€”every step of the cooking class was filled with fun and laughter. Chef Rajeswari was incredibly warm and welcoming; it felt like weâ€™d known her for years! This was truly one of the best family experiences Iâ€™ve had with my teens in a long time. And the highlight? Chicken 65â€”my absolute favorite! It is a MUST-try!

Chef Rajeswari was great! She instantly made my wife and daughter feel at home. The food was amazing. She had so many tips! The experience was a surprise gift for my birthday, I would recommend this class to anyone who likes Indian food and wants to improve their skills in the kitchen.

Mary L.

Booked the class Authentic South Indian Brunch with Chef Rajeswari in East Bay (Union City)

Chef Rajeswari is very proud of her culture and this experience included her sharing a LOT about Indian food. We chose the South Indian Brunch class for a date night. 1) We were greeted with a wonderful chai which made us feel warmly welcomed. 2) We LOVED the coconut chutney--Chef showed us the ways to add spice and bloom peanut oil to give it more dimensions. 3) Our favorite dish was the dosa and we cannot wait to try it with various options as a snack. All in all we recommend Chef Raje! This was a great date night and I could see it being a great mom-child experience or a mom's night out. Thanks!

This was an extraordinary class! Chef Rajeswari is impeccably organized, and everything was perfectly measured and arranged for us to use. Especially since this is a new class, I was amazed at how smoothly everything flowed - Disney could take notes from her on how to handle cleaning and transitions! We chopped the vegetables, chopped fresh herbs from her garden, and cooked/assembled all 4 dishes. I really appreciate how while we were assembling, she explained all the sorts of techniques and varieties in this style of cooking. For example, in our session I learned how to prepare the ginger garlic paste at home, the different varieties of Indian rice besides basmati, what sorts of oils work best for frying Chicken 65, and the delightful story of its name! Most important, of course, is the listed dishes themselves - and those were phenomenal. For the Chicken 65 we prepared the marinade and fried the chicken, along with the delightful touch of fresh curry leaves at the end. I've never made biryani before - that is why I took the class - and the biryani that we made was more delicious that what I've had at restaurants. The raita and lassi were simple and very good - and I learned, for example, that I can add milk (and even ice cream) to my lassi to make it a bit smoother. After taking this class, I feel that I can make these on my own. When we sat down to dinner, there was a ton of food that we'd cooked and it all smelled and tasted delicious. Chef Rajeswari also brought out a few items which were not on the menu that she'd prepared beforehand, and they were - of course - fantastic. Chef Rajewsari (and her husband) is kind, charming, welcoming, and an absolute delight to learn from. Her recipes are delicious, and she is just really fun to be with! I will be trying out the printed recipes on my own in a few days, and I fully intend to take more of her classes in the future.

Booked the class Vegan Indian Spread with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

Thank you so much, Chef Parsati! This was a phenomenal birthday present! We learned to make INCREDIBLE, accessible, delicious vegan food that we will absolutely be making again in our own home. Chef Parsati is brilliant and was fantastic at explaining what and why she was doing. She allowed the class to be hands on and was kind enough to answer all of our questions about techniques and Indian cooking in general. She was incredibly mindful and attentive to ingredients used especially given our food restrictions. Her home was beautiful and absolutely spotless, and she made us feel so welcomed in her space. We are looking forward to booking another cooking class with her in the future!

Booked the class A Taste of South India with Chef Pooja in East Bay (San Ramon)

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.

Booked the class Indian Cooking Techniques with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

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.

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!

Lilly L.

Booked the class Indian Cooking Techniques with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

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!

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 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.

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!

Nathan L.

Booked the class Vegetarian Indian Comfort Food with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

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!

This class was amazing and the food we made was delicious! The class was in a beautiful kitchen, and Chef Parsati was very careful about cleanliness and safety. We used organic whole fresh ingredients and Chef Parsati explained each step and ingredient to make sure we were learning as we went. She even offered tips about adapting these recipes for different kitchens and using them for meal prepping. She provided us the recipes after, and Iâ€™m excited to try these out again at home. Overall a wonderful experience!

Plenty of good food. I now have a favorite Indian dish; I used to think it was butter chicken but Chicken Pasanda is sooo much better!
