WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in the Bay Area
My fiance and I took this class and I must say, this was the most easy to understand simplified cooking class I’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!
We really enjoyed this class with Chef Polly. She made us feel welcome in her home and we learned different recipes that were flavorful and easy enough to prepare on our own. We've already prepared several of the recipes we learned in class at home and have recommended this class to friends. Definitely worth checking out!
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.
