Booked the class Gluten-Free Dumpling Delights with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

Gluten Free Dumpling Delights class taught my friends and I how to make dough for steamed dumplings with ground chicken, veggies and spices and we also used rice paper for a lightly fried veggie with chickpeas and spices roll. We assisted making these rolls. Chef Parsati showed us how to make the sauces for them. We also made a chocolate, mango dessert with coconut flour and cardamon spice. We all really enjoyed the flavors of the hot foods. Chef was friendly, knowledgeable, social and helpful. Class was held in her home kitchen. She did prep work before we began and she cleaned up after we left. The table was preset for our meal. It was a lovely experience.

What a treat to be welcomed into Chef Pollyâ€™s home to learn how to cook Korean food. Chef Polly has a way of familiarizing Korean food and making it feel more accessible. Iâ€™m looking forward to making these dishes on my own!

Booked the class Korean Food Essentials with Chef Polly in East Bay (Alameda)

Chef Polly was so welcoming and made the entire experience unforgettable! She didnâ€™t just teach us how to cook â€” she took us on a beautiful culinary and cultural journey through Korean history and flavors. Her explanations were clear, engaging, and filled with fun stories that made everyone feel comfortable and connected. I loved how she encouraged us to interact, share, and truly enjoy the process. It felt more like cooking with a friend than being in a class. Highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves learning about food and culture!

Booked the class Ultimate Vegetarian Dumplings with Chef Edmund in San Francisco (Hayes Valley)

Such a fun night! Chef Eddie was an amazing teacher, giving detailed instructions plus individual feedback and recommendations to everyone who attended. He also taught us a ton about soy sauces and how to mix different ingredients together to make the perfect dumpling dipping sauce. And of course all the food was exceptionally delicious. We've already discussed looking for more Chef Eddie classes to attend in the future!

Great time

Alan A.

Booked the class Gluten-Free Dumpling Delights with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

We had SUCH a good time with Chef Parsati!! She made the class a very welcoming experience, in a homey setting, with plenty of hands-on instruction and fun. The recipes are _delicious_! My wife and I will 100% be making them in our kitchen, especially since Chef Parsati specifically talked about ways that we could adapt what she taught us to make them even more simple and easily even for a weeknight dinner. I really appreciated that she was super-cognizant of our dietary restrictions and went the extra mile to make sure our concerns were addressed and the meal was enjoyable for everyone involved.

We had such an amazing experience with Chef Polly. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced and we walked away inspired to cook more at home. Thank you so much!

Rich F.

Booked the class Coastal Mediterranean Cooking with Chef Lorenzo in South Bay & Peninsula (Emerald Hills)

We had a most enjoyable cooking experience last night with Chef Lorenzo. He put us to work prepping much of the food and supervised as we cooked. He talked me through how to cook octopus which he brought to the house already cooked purely in the interest of time. I kind of hoped the octopus salad would be the top item for the night. It was. An added feature was that as we dined on the dishes he had us make, he washed the dishes. Wow! Five stars out of five for Chef Lorenzo and his Med. cooking class! Rich in San Leandro

Tyler H.

Booked the class Traditional Pork Dumpling Masterclass with Chef Edmund in San Francisco (Hayes Valley)

What a terrific experience this was. Eddie was outstanding. I'm a school leader, and I know a good teacher when I see one - Eddie is top notch. He gave clear, kind instructions. Everyone got better in a hurry, and we had fun along the way. He was so thoughtful in the construction of the experience over the course of the evening. Couldn't recommend this experience more highly!

Daniel M.

Booked the class Traditional Pork Dumpling Masterclass with Chef Edmund in San Francisco (Hayes Valley)

10/10 this was an amazing class, and I strongly recommend it! Chef Eddie taught us how to prepare the dumpling dough from scratch. This consisted the kneading, the resting, the breaking off pieces, rolling them out, how to stuff and cook them. What I really appreciated what how creative he was in his teaching methods. For demonstration and practice, he had a rough practice dough for us to practice with while our dough was resting. He even had us practice pleating with Playdo, which I thought was brilliant! There was even a little camera to project what his fingers were doing onto a large TV, so that watch either the finesse of the fingers or the larger view. Chef Eddie also made sure to check in on how we were doing, and provided regular and frequent feedback so that we learned how to do everything correctly. And it worked - all the dumplings in our class survived! In addition, he also demonstrated how to braise pork belly (which was delicious), and how to prepare Tang Yuan as a rice-flour dessert variant of the dumpling. Chef Eddie had us try various soy sauces so that we could experience how they vary in flavor an quality, and also explained to us the stories and cultural significance of these dishes. I absolutely loved this class, and if any of my friends express curiosity in how to make dumplings I will immediately direct them to Chef Eddie. If I could take it again, I would!

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

Eddie was awesome. Heâ€™s an incredible teacher - went to great length to impart some really useful info, without being tedious. He was super engaging the whole time, had everyone making some exquisite looking dumplings by the end of the night, and his recipes were amazing! I canâ€™t say enough good things.

Wendy A.

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.

Andy C.

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

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!

Veena V.

Booked the class Middle Eastern Mezze with Chef Pooja in East Bay (San Ramon)

Me and my husband had a fun night with a private cooking class with Pooja! The food was incredibly delicious and and would highly recommend for anyone including team building events.

Loritta L.

Booked the class Perfecting Sushi Rolls with Chef Elham in San Jose (Northside)

We had a great time! Chef Elham opened up her home to us, had all the ingredients ready and provided a nice set up. There were 8 people in the class which made it a lot more fun. Such a great experience. The downside to it (nothing to do with the chef) the app needs to be more clear on the area that youâ€™re booking the class inâ€¦ Andâ€¦ There needs to be more communication before they take your money. This is legit class and the company is real. The way they book the class makes you feel like it is a scam. Other than that, Chef Elham made it a positive and fun 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.

Diana S.

Booked the class Balanced Ayurvedic Cooking with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

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!

Bryson B.

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

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!

Antonio B.

Booked the class Fresh Stuffed Pasta with Chef Daniel in San Francisco (Potrero Hill)

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.

Morgan L.

Booked the class Paella and Tapas with Chef Daniel in San Francisco (Potrero Hill)

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.

Yaara O.

It was very fun and we learned a lot about Indian food culture.

We loved our chocolate confections class with Chef Elham! She was so knowledgeable and made the experience really fun.

Gabrielle S.

Booked the class A Night in Spain with Chef James in San Francisco (Haight-Ashbury)

Had a great time with Chef James! He taught us about paella, and we were able to help. He lived in Spain, and he showed a lot of love and enthusiasm for the cuisine and culture. Would definitely book again!

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.

Devni G.

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

I had an amazing time and learned a lot about cooking techniques! Thank you Chef Parsati.

Chef Elham was a wonderful host and a fantastic chef. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and look forward to making the soups we learned to make at our session.

Conrad S.

Booked the class Balanced Ayurvedic Cooking with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

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!

Brian K.

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

Chef Parsati was great! The food was delicious and she gave us all a chance to learn the traditional dishes. She was very personable as well and made us feel comfortable in the kitchen. 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!

Chase S.

Booked the class The Magic of Macarons with Chef Eloise in San Francisco (Potrero Hill)

Chef Eloise was very knowledgeable about macarons and was very friendly. For such a technical dish, she made it fun and easy to follow along. The one suggestion I would make is for her to play some soft music in the background to add to the ambiance of the experience.

David F.

Booked the class Explore Northern India with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

My son gave me a cooking class with Chef Parsati for my 66th birthday, and had kept the event/destination a surprise to me -- the two of us comprised her whole class. The experience was relaxed, informative, fun, and culminated with our enjoying the products of our labor. (Chef Parsati graciously called herself our "sous chef", letting us do all the key steps beyond her orderly preparation setting out the ingredients, ready for slicing, chopping, etc.) She made us feel at home immediately, and was warm and friendly throughout. Her kitchen and dining area were scrupulously clean, and she observed COVID protocols out of an abundance of caution, e.g. remaining masked throughout though all of us were fully vaccinated. Her expertise with North Indian cuisine was obvious. She had useful tips, e.g. preferred cooking oils, how to sequence the ingredients, and how to time the cooking. She showed how to share several ingredients across dishes in the menu, yielding distinct tastes by virtue of different proportions and seasonings. Her explanations were clear and she patiently answered all our questions. She also was flexible in adapting all the recipes to avoid ingredients my son is allergic to, e.g. replacing lentils with tofu in the Dal. All the dishes were delicious, even the tofu, which I normally find unexciting. My favorite was the Kebabs (pictured), which appeared flame-grilled, though we actually fried them. We had ample time at the end to eat our fill and pack leftovers. I was delighted by the experience and enthusiastically recommend this class!

Crystal C.

Booked the class Explore Northern India with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

Chef Parsati's "Explore Northern India" class was incredible! My three girlfriends and I enjoyed the class thoroughly while celebrating two of my girlfriends' birthdays. Chef shared her knowledge of the cuisine and cooking techniques - from the unique flavors & spices of Northern India to the order of ingredients and timing of the heat. The aromas of each dish were divine and eating all of the meals we cooked together was very satisfying and so delicious. We would definitely recommend a class with Chef Parsati and would book another class with her in the future.
