I really enjoyed this class! The food turned out great! I found Chef Parsati explanation of ingredients and spice ratio super helpful. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone looking to learn how to make Indian food.

Chef Parsati made this the warmest, most meaningful and informative event I’ve ever experienced. My partner and I went for our anniversary and it made for such a sweet experience. The recipes are now going to be fully incorporated (and I loved where she gave us suggestions to tailor them to what we already make/eat) and were incredibly tasty! I appreciated the whole group and process.

I gave Chef Parsati's "Explore Northern India" class to my sister as a present and it certainly was a fun experience to have together. Chef took the time to learn about our cooking habits at home and tailored her tips and tricks to our needs. It really felt like we were hanging out in a friend's kitchen. All the recipes felt very approachable, and everything turned out delicious! We were so excited to try these new recipes again that we drove to the Indian grocery store nearby right after the class, and picked up some supplies.

Chef Parsati’s cooking class was so much fun! The dishes she helped us create were delicious, and we will be able to make them at home now. Her directions were very clear and easy to follow. She answered all of our questions and was great to be around. I would recommend this class to anyone.
Lauryn T.
Amazing experience learning how to cook. Parsati is professional and kind, we definitely will be taking another class again.

My boyfriend signed us up for a cooking class with Chef Parsati and she did a wonderful job teaching us how to cook northern Indian dishes. We really appreciated that she took into consideration our dietary restrictions and the food was so good! Everything was prepared ahead of time and easy for us to complete.

I had the joy of experiencing a cooking class with Chef Parsati. Learning from her was such an honor, and I loved how she explained every step and the purpose of the ingredients. She was so warm, and I could tell from the way she spoke about the food and the ingredients that she was very passionate about cooking. Her cooking background is insane. She has traveled the world to learn what she knows, and I can't help but want to take more classes from her to learn more.
We cooked 3 dishes in total, and they were all so freaking delicious. We made chicken kebobs, sahi aloo palak, halwa, and panchmel dal. I WANTED TO KEEP EATING BUT I COULDN'T!!! MY STOMACH COULDN'T HANDLE ANY MORE FOOD!
10/10 would recommend and would come back for another class

Chef Parsati was very welcoming and taught many things in our short session. Her kitchen and home was clean and inviting, spacious for our group of 3. Her expertise and professionalism was a delight as my friends and I came into this experience not knowing what to expect. I highly recommend taking her classes. It wasn't just us cooking a delicious meal to enjoy at the end- stepping away from this with her experience, tips, tricks, and culinary wisdom honestly made it totally worth it.
Diana M.
Chef Parsati was a gracious, enthusiastic host and made us all feel very welcome! She curated a thoughtful menu and involved everyone in our group. Her kitchen was clean, organized, and a lovely environment for our lesson. We look forward to more classes with Chef Parsati in the future!

We had a great experience with Chef Parsati. She took the time to get to know us, explain her approach to healthy, authentic cooking, and made us feel at home. It was a real pleasure to work with her, and we look forward to finding and taking more classes from her. 5 stars.
Susan B.
Wonderful class! Fantastic teacher, superb food. Chef Parsati is knowledgeable, warm, welcoming, and professional. Her kitchen is clean and sanitary. I have only the best things to say about my experience with her!
William H.
My parents and I had a great time at Chef Parsati's class! The helpful tips she gave for everything from where to find good ingredients and utensils to how to get the most flavor out of herbs, her patience and good humor, and of course the brilliance of the food itself - all of this was flawless. The shahi aloo palak was particularly great; I've tried multiple dishes with paneer at restaurants and thought it was an inherently bland ingredient, but Chef Parsati taught us how to bring out its flavor, blend it with the flavors of the spices and spinach, and make an amazing dish! I'd recommend this class to anyone, regardless of experience in the kitchen.
Megan K.
Chef Parsati was excellent at answering questions and giving versatile ingredient options so we knew how to adapt recipes at home. It was a bit fast paced, but learned a lot in a short amount of time! Appreciate her insight during this class and now feel much more confident cooking Indian dishes at home!
Hue L.
We had a great time with Chef Parsati. Chef took the time to explain everything. We love her charm, passion and energy while teaching us how to cook. She made things simple and the food was delicious. Our plates were cleaned at the end of dinner. I also, have to give a shout out to her homemade spices. They are amazing.
Tina S.
Chef Parsati was very sweet, informative and organized. She was very welcoming and gave us tips to use in the future. I highly recommend her. The food was very delicious. She made us feel like we were at home. Will be working with her again in the future.
Brian G.
The Explore Northern India class was great! Chef Parsati was very energetic and friendly and full of extra information and encouragement. She taught us not only how to make the dishes, but how they work and how and why you might adapt them. And the food was delicious! Would definitely go again.
EDITH K.
What an incredible and enjoyable experience I had with Chef Parsati. From the minute I booked her class she was very accommodating, flexible and on top with communication. When I stepped into her kitchen she shared her amazing skills and knowledge. I really appreciated how she shared the health benefits of the foods and spices we were using and she taught me how to be versatile with the recipes. I learnt how to make prepping food easier and have zero waste. I could not stop myself from eating the DELICIOUS food we prepared. The class was hands on and easygoing. I will definitely be taking more classes with Chef Parsati. Thank you. Edith.
Cheryl A.
We did this class as a "family event" with our 13 year-old son and 17 year old daughter and it was their first time trying Indian food. (My husband and I LOVE Indian food). Chef Parsati was incredibly organized and made the whole experience very fun and informative for both the adults and the "young adults". She tailored the experience to our cooking experience (my husband is a great chef, me and the kids much less so :) and also gave a ton of tips and tricks for alternative ingredients and ways to make the prep easier/quicker. I definitely recommend Chef Parsati's class!
Kirsten W.
The class with Chef Parsarti was great! We learned not only about the dishes but many tips and tricks along the way! Highly recommend taking this or another class from Chef Parsarti.
Max S.
Cooking with Chef Parsati was a blast for a date night experience. We felt at ease in her impeccably clean kitchen and appreciated her attention to COVID protocols. Chef Parsati is super knowledgeable of the ingredients and techniques, attentive to detail, and points out endless variations for how you might tweak dishes according to your own tastes or the ingredients you have on hand. All of the ingredients we used were fresh/ & homemade; she even makes her own small batch spices. The end product was a 10/10, out of this world delicious. I can’t wait to try to replicate what we learned from Chef Parsati and expect to be back in her kitchen for another class. Thank you, Chef Parsati!
Whitney C.
I highly recommend a cooking class with Chef Parsati! We did a class with her to celebrate a birthday and it was wonderful. Chef Parsati is a wealth of knowledge and taught us delicious recipes, cooking techniques, and answered our many questions. She was also extremely careful and thoughtful on hygiene and safety. Food was delicious and it was a very memorable experience!
