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

Chef Parsati was very accommodating with our dietary restrictions and scheduling (and rescheduling) of the class. The class was conducted in her home. We had a healthy menu with salmon steak, kale salad, and flourless fudge. She taught us how to substitute items and about the health benefits of a lot of ingredients. The food we made was so good! thank you!

Chef Parsati was extraordinary! Her multicultural cooking background really came through in our class, and she paced the class well such that everyone was able to be hands on without feeling rushed. She even taught us how to make Naanzza, a naan + pizza fusion dish of her own creation, in addition to the main 4-course meal because it was a celebratory bachelor's party. So generous! Would highly recommend!

Chef Parasti brings a warm reception, a cute, clean kitchen and a full life of locally trained international expertise to her cooking classes. Her experience living all over Asia, Europe and the US brought a really interesting perspective and flexibility to her cooking class - I loved the way she made fusion cooking accessible for us. Most impressively, Chef Parasti did an excellent job accommodating my allergies. Considering IвЂ™m a Celiac with shellfish and dairy allergies, this is a serious accomplishment because I cannot handle cross contamination in my food. Definitely recommend her class. I know IвЂ™ll be bringing my friends back for more.

It was tasty and fun experience. Great Birthday present and romantic dinner. Chef Parsati is very knowledgeable and easy going. Very relaxed, friendly atmosphere, cleaned modern kitchen. Will definitely come back with more friends and family members. Thank you again. Looking forward to learn more.

Chef Parsati was friendly and welcoming and her kitchen was clean. I got to see the recipe being prepared close up and Chef was open to any and all questions. I chose this class as my wife likes salmon even though I don't eat fish. So how come I ate my whole serving? Because it was absolutely delicious. Tender, flaky and the unique spice seasoning was something i will use in other recipes. Their was also a kale salad that was really good. I don't typically use kale in salads but having see it slightly wilted using this method and with the sweet and tangy dressing, I will be rethinking. I feel confident that I now have the skills to cook this meal. Definitely recommend this type of class for beginners who want to gain some confidence in cooking certain dishes. Some hands on prep was involved but not a full station set up. A very enjoyable evening overall.

Chef Parsad was very sweet and knowledgeable. She had many different variations of spices she could recommend and her space was more than covid-19 clean, we felt very safe and had a great time!

We had a fantastic class on vegetarian cooking with Chef Mike. Not only was it a cooking class, it felt like a show at times :) Mike is intensely passionate about his work, entertaining, and we had a great time all around. Highly recommended!

I thoroughly enjoyed Chef JohnвЂ™s вЂњNative Foods of The AmericasвЂќ class. John has a wide breadth of knowledge about ingredients from both North and South America. He went in depth on how they were used in the past as well as how we were going to apply them to the recipes he invented. My girlfriend and I cooked the dish again last night and it turned out great. Definitely walked away from this class with a better understanding of how to tackle this style of cooking.

Came over for a Bachelorette Party, we had an amazing time. It was so much fun. Chef Joni is so personable. Contacting her was so easy, she asked lots of questions about the party before hand and tweeked our menu a bit to fit our girl's a bit more. Admittedly the girls were a bit unsure when we came in and Chef Joni was talking about a putting scallops in a martini with sauteed red peppers. They all thought she was crazy but the food drink was so fabulous and the best thing they had all night (maybe 'cause Chef Joni prepared this dish?).

We had a wonderful time with Chef Parsati at her home. She taught us healthy tips for cooking fish and making spice rubs and the food was delicious. I had a wonderful time with my father and had bought the class as a Christmas present for him. Thank you Chef Parsati and I highly recommend taking a class from her!

Me and my partner thoroughly enjoyed Chef Parsati's class. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about cooking, cultures and traveling and we spent a good amount of time getting to know each other. Her home was very warm and welcoming and we felt like we truly made a home-made meal because the chef made it seem so easy and healthy. Additionally, she offered tips on how to substitute some aspects of the meal as well as what cookware to use. Overall a lovely experience and would highly recommend to anyone!

What a great experience. We loved our time at Chef Parsati's home and learned a lot about how to create a wonderful marinade for salmon and a vinegraitte for a kale salad. The blend of the spices were amazing. Thank you Chef Parsati.

What a blast! Chef Parsati is experienced and knowledgeable in so many cuisines. We learned so much in our session with her. We were gifted a snack before we started, got to hear about her amazing background, and enjoyed complimentary juice and tea during our stay. She explained every step and included us in every task. What a wonderful way to spend our anniversary, thank you for hosting us in your beautiful kitchen and thank you for sharing you recipe with us and your precious knowledge on how and why food can be good and good for you!

We had a really great time at Chef ParsatiвЂ™s class. The meal was so delicious, incredibly easy to prepare, and Chef Parsati gave us so many recommendations for how to substitute ingredients to make it more stress free replicating it at home.

What an incredible experience. Chef Parsati is completely lovely. She is knowledgeable, patient and so much fun to cook with. We took this class (4 of us) for a team building retreat. We were NOT disappointment. It was so much fun, and we literally had no idea what were doing. But Chef Parsati made us feel totally at home. We took with us so many tips for our daily lives. And to top it off, the food was incredible!

My small but global team of 6, which came from across the country and Europe, gathered in the kitchen of Chef Parsati for a cooking class as our team building event. We choose the class with foods that are great for the mind and mood. Chef Parsati was personable, energizing, curious about our culinary backgrounds and accommodating our dietary restrictions and preferences. Spending evening in a cozy home atmosphere while cooking, talking, tasting, learning and eating was a great way to relax after a full day of meetings. The menu was simple, nutritious and delicious. Chef Parsati explained every recipe and shared tips on spices, ingredients and preparation. Everyone had an apron and chopping board. It was like a cooking academy! We went our homes/hotels satiated, relaxed and in a very good mood. Strongly recommend it!

We had a great time in the class! Chef Paro is super friendly and knowledgeable, and we were engaged from start to finish. We left with some practical tips to add to our cooking routine. Plus the food was delicious!

11/10 experience. I was really looking forward to cooking with Chef Parsati, and to learn from her years of culinary experience. Not only is she incredibly experienced, but she also has a cool story as well! We made delicious salmon with vegetables, kale salad and almond fudge. I was shocked at how good it was (no kidding) and most importantly, it was all healthy. I cook my food quite bland so I learned how to properly use spices along with some other cooking tips like heating up the sauce pan first before putting olive oil on. Really great experience, and I recommend cooking with Chef Parsati if you want to expand out of the typical meals you cook, gain some culinary knowledge and have a fun time. 100% booking another session. Thank you Chef Parsati! :)

We had such a wonderful day today with Chef Parsati. Not only was the food delicious, and the recipes clearly explained, but she was also very personable, well organized and we got to do most of the cooking. We were treated like her guests, with a beautifully presented table. Her entire kitchen was extremely clean and emphasis was made on healthy and sanitary cooking habits. I have been cooking for years, and yet I learned a lot today from Chef Parsati, which I greatly appreciated. I look forward to taking more classes from her in the future.

Chef Parsati was an amazing host and chef. She had such great and engaging energy it made the entire cooking class extremely enjoyable. I particularly like that she used fresh, healthy, organic ingredients and that she was flexible with food allergies and substitutions. She gave so many great tips and tricks, my gf and I learned a lot from this class and will be using our recipes a lot! The meal was amazing and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a cooking class!

We loved our experience with Chef Parsati! The food was delicious and the experience was super hands-on. So much fun and we learnt so much. DidnвЂ™t realize how fast the time flew by. Also her place is super clean and the logistics are well planned out, made the experience seamless.

Our family had such a wonderful experience with Chef Parvati! She was professional, knowledgeable and very personable. She made us all feel very comfortable in her home and kitchen. The class was hands-on and although she showed us how she does things, she encouraged us and our teenaged children to change/adjust recipes and techniques to our liking, and gave us other ideas on how to give the recipes variety. Her home and kitchen are kept very clean. And, very importantly, the food was delicious!! We learned a lot, had fun and spent great quality time together! Hoping to do more classes with Chef Parvati in the near future!

My wife and I had a great time with Chef Parsati. Her place was cozy and definitely COVID-safe. I never felt nervous about being there. Chef Parsati was very thorough in her instructions and even made sure to summarize steps through various check points. There was 4 of us in the class and we all had different cooking skills levels and Chef Parsati adapted to all of us. Highly recommend.
