I have never cooked in my life, today after taking some advice and recipes from chef parsati that will change. She’s very nice, very knowledgeable, very passionate. My fiance and I loved her cooking. We learned a lot. We’re both vegans and if you are too I recommend this class. Thanks for making the food spicy for us (: We’re definitely taking another class with her and invite family. Thank you chef parsati!

Non vegans can learn a great deal from Chef Parsati. My niece and I want to cook healthier dishes and this class is what we needed. Chef explains the vegan ingredients as recipes are assembled and followed up with sending an ingredient list after the class. Come learn and enjoy!

Wonderful experience and cooking class. As someone new to vegan cuisine, I learned so much including how to get more protein and how to spice things up to make them more interesting. Parsa was unbelievable welcoming and I am already looking forward to taking another class from her. I would highly suggest her classes.

Chef Parsati was a wonderful instructor and the class exceeded our expectations! I purchased the class as a gift for my wife for Christmas and needed to move the date from our original booking; Chef Parsati was able to accommodate and a a help arrange a fabulous environment that was a great first experience for anyone who is just learning to cook. The menu was provided ahead of time so we knew what the ingredients were and also got to bring along a bottle of wine to enjoy for the meal as well(I recommend Ubering or rideshare if you choose to bring wine or beer for your trip). Chef Parasari provided us with aprons and was a great instructor throughout the course of the cooking class; she helped walk us through how to prep and prepare the ingredients and answered all of my wife's questions about how to best cook each dish. All of the dishes that we prepared tasted amazing (if I had to pick a favorite, mine was the pizza we prepared that had a naan base that was the very delicious). The experience was definitely worth the price and I highly recommended this cooking class as a great date night or work outing . Chef Parasati also brought an awesome energy and creativity to the experience and helped introduce some new ingredients that expanded our tasting palettes and ideas for cooking in the future. I highly recommend booking Chef Parasati's class if you are a vegan; the dishes are carefully crafted to fill you up and provide great tasting delicacies at the same time. The class is also a great chance to have a new experience to meet chef's who share their knowledge and passion for cooking great food and are there to make sure you have a time as well!

Exciting Dumpling Duos
with Chef Parsati
in San Jose (Edenvale)
A huge thank you to Chef Parsati for such an incredible cooking class experience! Learning how to make both vegetarian and chicken dumplings from scratch was so much fun, but what made it even more special was how much knowledge she shared along the way.
Not only did we learn cooking techniques, but she also taught us about the nutritional value of using fresh herbs and ingredients to season the filling naturally. The passion, patience, and care she brought to the experience made it unforgettable.
Amazing food, amazing energy, and an amazing teacher — we loved every minute of it and can’t wait to take another 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.

The Best Vegan Biryani Ever
with Chef Parsati
in San Jose (Edenvale)
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.

We cooked dumplings. I enjoyed the whole class. Since 2 of us are gluten free the chef was very careful with our portions. She made sure we understood the directions and was very comfortable with all questions.

Indian Grilling 101
with Chef Parsati
in San Jose (Edenvale)
Chef Parsati is a treasure of a human being. From the moment we stepped in, she made both us feel welcome as if we were long lost relatives. Not only did she ask very insightful questions about our relationship with cooking and food, but she tailored the experience to our respective backgrounds. The engagement and flow were world class. We learned more about each other along the way and it was truly an experience either of us will never forget it. The personal touch that she provides is a rare gift. Very thankful for the attention to detail and stewardship. Highly would recommend to anyone, even if they aren't one who ventures into the kitchen often. You might surprise yourself after this class.

Indian Cooking Techniques
with Chef Parsati
in San Jose (Edenvale)
Just finished an amazing cooking experience with Chef Parsati!! She tailored her recipes to my family's dietary needs and shared her philosophy and techniques around healthy cooking. Chef talked about the key spices, how to use them, and the ratios and order to ensure the most flavorful dishes. The food was AMAZING! I will definitely book another class with her next month when I am back in California.

Indian Cooking Techniques
with Chef Parsati
in San Jose (Edenvale)
We very much enjoyed Parsati’s class! We took Indian Cooking Techniques and learned how to make Chicken Pasanda as well as a rice, salad, and dessert.
Parsati was very welcoming, friendly and is clearly an experienced cook in a variety of cuisines. She answered all of our questions knowledgeably, and explained the variations in techniques and ingredients necessary to make many dishes beyond the ones we were making.
I’d definitely recommend any class taught by Parsati!
