Oscar, our chef and Oscar his sou chef were ready and waiting for us as we were the only couple to enjoy the vegetarian class. They spent time, energy and knowledge with us in an intimate, personable and patient manner and setting. It was great! We learned, tasted and sipped our way through our time and then enjoyed the meal they and we had prepared. We left with well packed extras and great memories.

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.

Chef Parsati is amazing! She's travelled and lived all over the world and brings that experience along with a strong culinary knowledge into her cooking. She's a great teacher and welcomed us into our home where we took her heathy Indian cooking class. We learned a lot, the food was delicious, and Parsati's timing to be able to fit four dishes (two entrees, a dessert, and an appetizer) in a short time frame was definitely impressive. We had an amazing time, so thank you Chef Parsati!

Booked the class 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.

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!

Chef Parsati was great and full of warmth - in her teachings, her food, and her hospitality.

Booked the class Healthy Seasonal Indian Cuisine with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)
Our Christmas cooking experience this year was nothing short of magical. From the moment we stepped into the kitchen, Chef Parsati made us feel like part of a culinary family. Her vast knowledge of Indian cooking techniques and ingredients was truly impressive, but what really stood out was his warmth and approachability. Throughout the session, she shared not only his expertise but also personal stories that made the atmosphere feel cozy and inviting. We laughed together, learned together, and by the end of the day, we felt a genuine connection—almost as if we had been friends for years. This experience was more than just a cooking class; it was a memorable journey filled with delicious food and heartfelt moments that we will cherish for a long time. We left not only with new recipes but also with wonderful memories of a wonderful afternoon shared with a truly talented chef.
Booked the class Vegetarian Japanese Favorites with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)
I took Chef Parsati’s vegetarian Japanese cooking class with my niece, and we absolutely loved it! The class was hands-on, beautifully organized, and full of flavor. Chef Parsati made the experience approachable and fun for all ages — she even added a braised salmon dish just for my niece, which was such a thoughtful touch. We learned so many great techniques, from sushi rolling to stir-frying perfect yakisoba noodles, and everything we made tasted incredible — especially the homemade unagi sauce and the silky green tea custard to finish. The atmosphere felt like a true izakaya experience, and Chef Parsati’s warmth and knowledge made it even more special. Highly recommend this class for anyone looking to explore Japanese cooking — whether you’re a beginner, a vegetarian, or just looking for a memorable culinary experience to share with family!
Booked the class Indian Cooking Techniques with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)
My husband and I attended the Indian cooking techniques class at her home and had a great time. Chef Parsati was very welcoming and helped us prepare four dishes. I learned about the magical Indian spice box that one should keep for Indian cooking since you can use the same spices for a lot of dishes in Indian cooking; the main differences are cooking methods (grill vs stove) and if you use cream or not for the sauce. The food turned out well. I was surprised to learn that you could make pulao in an Instant Pot and it was fairly easy! The dishes we learned about today did not seem too fussy to prepare at home so I’m eager to try these recipes soon!

I went to the ayurvedic cooking class to celebrate my birthday and had a blast. We made 5 different things. Everything on the menu was very flavorful and delicious but also very healthy. We look forward to taking more classes with this instructor. Chef Parsati is awesome. She enjoys teaching and answering questions. She also has a very kind and welcoming demeanor. We also really liked that she frequently explained different substitutions. It really is clear that she is interested in making sure you actually will be able to recreate these dishes at home. Can't wait to go back again!!

My partner and I had a great time in Chef Parsati's class. She made the process feel much easier than expected, even with lots of things to do or prep. Her approach to the recipes is also very holistic, so you can learn the principles behind why you perform each step and not just what to do in order. Every dish had great flavor as well as high nutritional value - striking a balance between food you can enjoy and a clean, healthy taste. Highly recommend her class if you're interested in learning to cook Indian cuisine & its principles!

Booked the class Tropical Hawaiian Fare with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)
WOW!!!! Where do I even begin… First, the class took place in the chefs private home which was incredibly warm and welcoming. The space was very clean and tidy, and chef was so welcoming and professional! The class itself began with a quick snack, compliments of the chef, which was tasty and set the tone for the rest of the time there! From there, we got right into the chopping and cooking, and I literally found myself jumping in place from the excitement of mixing and cooking. She was very clear and concise in her explanations, and very welcoming in our own style of cooking however that presented.. In her words, since I kept saying sorry for my terrible chopping skills, “There is no sorry in this class. You cook and have fun.. That’s all that matters.†I never for a moment felt rushed, or as if I was doing anything wrong. All questions were welcomed and answered, and of course, the food tasted absolutely amazing!! My partner and I were so pleased and so grateful for this wonderful experience, and will be returning for more classes! Thank you, Chef!!!

Me and my partner thoroughly enjoyed Chef Parsati's class. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about cooking, cultures and traveling and we spent a good amount of time getting to know each other. Her home was very warm and welcoming and we felt like we truly made a home-made meal because the chef made it seem so easy and healthy. Additionally, she offered tips on how to substitute some aspects of the meal as well as what cookware to use. Overall a lovely experience and would highly recommend to anyone!

I’ve never used CozyMeal before but I am so thankful I found Chef Parsati on CozyMeal. She is an extremely accommodating and knowledgeable chef. Even though Chef Parsati was busy on the day of my booking, she made sure to fit my girlfriend and I in for our class! We were also running late, and she made us feel so welcomed and comfortable at her place. The meals my girlfriend and I learned to cook were delicious and healthy. I would definitely take another class from Chef Parsati and recommend her to my friends and family.
