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.

Chef Parsati created a wonderful atmosphere teaching my niece and I how to prepare gluten free dumplings. My niece absolutely loved it, and it's a birthday memory she will treasure for life. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, informative and delicious class!

We learned how to cook dumplings of several kinds. The best thing about Chef Parsati was how easily she demonstrated many possible variations of the dishes which catered to our dietary restrictions. The ingredients were healthy and her techniques ensured that the cooking time was sufficiently short to be adapted for a busy schedule. The dessert was amazing as well and I was amazed to see how efficient the techniques she demonstrated were. I will highly recommend this to everyone. This is a great bonding activity for couples.

I loved Chef Parsati’s class for Gluten free dumplings. It was very enjoyable. Her vast knowledge of foods and how they affect our body is very important to me. She gave me so many useful tips that will improve my cooking. Taking her class has made me want to take more. Thank you Chef Parsati

Chef Parsati taught us to make delicious gluten free dumplings! She was a delightful, high-energy teacher, and we had a wonderful date night.

The gluten-free dumpling class with Chef Parvsati was so fun and well organized. It was wonderful that she opened her home to our small group. Though I don't have any dietary restrictions I have loved ones who struggle with gluten so learning substitutes for delicious meals like dumplings was so great! She kept the lesson flowing so we were able to get through all the courses while still getting to know each other. I hope my schedule allows for me to take another one of Chef's classes!

An unforgettable, cozy family experience!
We took this gluten-free dumpling cooking class to celebrate my and my daughter’s birthdays, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was so warm and welcoming—it felt like being invited into a friend’s kitchen. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, making sure everyone (including my husband and our two sons) felt involved and confident.
The dumplings were amazing—so flavorful and authentic you’d never guess they were gluten-free! We learned so many tips and tricks that we can’t wait to try at home. What really made the class special was how cozy and personal it felt; we laughed, cooked, and shared a truly memorable experience together as a family.
Highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a fun, hands-on, and delicious experience—especially if you’re gluten-free or just love learning to cook something new. We’ll definitely be back for another class!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Exciting Dumpling Duos
with Chef Parsati
in San Jose (Edenvale)
We attended Chef Parsati's "Exciting Dumpling Duos" lunch cooking class on May 17th, and it was a fun experience! My daughter and I enjoyed bonding while learning to make fried vegetarian and steamed chicken dumplings in her clean, well-organized kitchen. The class is great for beginners or those looking for a casual, hands-on activity.
While the recipes were simple and the pace felt a bit rushed, Chef Parsati’s expertise and professionalism stood out. The price was on the higher side, but that’s expected for Bay Area experiences. I’d love to work with Chef Parsati directly for a more personalized class in the future. Overall, it was a memorable and enjoyable time!

Fantastic class. Chef Parsati taught my wife and I how to make amazing vegan biryani in great detail. The class was a relaxed environment and we had so much fun. We went through every step of making biryani to understand why each step was taken. We also learned how to adapt the recipe at each of those steps depending on equipment, ingredients, and time available. At the end of the course, we had the best vegetarian biryani I have ever had, and my wife and I have the confidence to make this again at home.

Indian Grilling 101
with Chef Parsati
in San Jose (Edenvale)
Chef Parasati’s Indian grilling class was absolutely fantastic! She is incredibly professional, detail-oriented, and a joy to learn from. What really makes her class special is how she explains the “why†behind everything—why certain spices are used, how they transform flavor, and what they bring to the dish.
She goes deep into grilling techniques for both meats and vegetables, explaining how different proteins respond to marinades, spices, and heat. The class isn’t just about following recipes—you actually learn the science and intuition behind great cooking.
I also loved her focus on sustainability and minimizing food waste, which adds a thoughtful and practical dimension to her teaching.
Overall, this was an engaging, informative, and incredibly enjoyable experience. Highly recommend this class to anyone interested in Indian grilling. A true 5-star experience! âââââ

Chef Parsati was great and full of warmth - in her teachings, her food, and her hospitality. In "Brain Food to Boost Your Mood" we co-created an artisanal salmon and kale main dish, along with an avocado appetizer (great with naan!) and almond fudge dessert. Healthy ingredients, but so great in taste! Thank You, Chef, for an amazing meal and experience!
