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.

Booked the class Authentic South Indian Brunch with Chef Rajeswari in East Bay (Union City)

Chef Rajeswari is very proud of her culture and this experience included her sharing a LOT about Indian food. We chose the South Indian Brunch class for a date night. 1) We were greeted with a wonderful chai which made us feel warmly welcomed. 2) We LOVED the coconut chutney--Chef showed us the ways to add spice and bloom peanut oil to give it more dimensions. 3) Our favorite dish was the dosa and we cannot wait to try it with various options as a snack. All in all we recommend Chef Raje! This was a great date night and I could see it being a great mom-child experience or a mom's night out. Thanks!

Thank you so much, Chef Parsati! This was a phenomenal birthday present! We learned to make INCREDIBLE, accessible, delicious vegan food that we will absolutely be making again in our own home. Chef Parsati is brilliant and was fantastic at explaining what and why she was doing. She allowed the class to be hands on and was kind enough to answer all of our questions about techniques and Indian cooking in general. She was incredibly mindful and attentive to ingredients used especially given our food restrictions. Her home was beautiful and absolutely spotless, and she made us feel so welcomed in her space. We are looking forward to booking another cooking class with her in the future!

Booked the class Vegetarian Cooking Adventure with Chef Roddy in San Jose (Campbell)

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.

Chef Parsati's skill in cooking and teaching is only matched by her enthusiasm. The entire experience was wonderful from learning new cooking techniques, to the conversation, and of course the food was incredible. She has a wealth of knowledge both in how to make excellent food, but also how to cook in an accessible, healthy way. I'd recommend her classes to anyone looking for a great cooking class and overall experience!

We had a wonderful time learning from and cooking with Chef Parsati! She is so kind, welcoming and truly a wealth of knowledge. We learned so much about different spices and proper food preparation.

Laura V.

Booked the class Vegetarian Indian Comfort Food with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

Chef Parsati is wonderful! I booked her class as a gift for my boyfriend. The class was just us and another couple, which was the perfect size to do a lot ourselves while also having time to watch, listen, and absorb everything she was teaching us. She clearly knows a lot about Indian cooking, and cooking in general, and was an excellent host. Definitely recommend anything she is teaching!

Kelsey W.

Booked the class Italian Dough Workshop with Chef Libby in San Jose (Naglee Park)

Chef Libby was a great teacher! She was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions very happily. We learned so much and would happily take another class of hers. We're already looking into trying the sushi class :)

Booked the class Vegetarian Indian Comfort Food with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

If you are a first time Chef or an experienced one, look no further than Chef Parsati. Not only did me and my date learn all about Indian cuisine, but we had a wonderful time with her as well. She talks super fast, but is incredibly knowledgeable and understanding to new cooks. She is also incredibly patient and I never felt that she was rushing us. Quite the opposite, I actually felt that she was more happy to share her craft with us, and I really couldn't be happier with the experience. The cauliflower dish we made was the best vegetarian dish I ever tasted and the lentils we made were to die for. Chef, thank you so much for making this night possible and I hope to come again soon!

I booked a private lesson with Chef Parsati, and she is AMAZING. The class was perfectly tailored to meet my needs. She really takes the time to listen and customize your learning experience to ensure you get the most out of it. I have learned so much from Chef Parsati. I highly, highly, highly recommend booking with her. She is a wealth of knowledge, and an incredible instructor! You will love her teachings.

Booked the class Vegetarian Indian Comfort Food with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

We attended Chef Parsatiâ€™s class to celebrate my wifeâ€™s birthday and loved it! We did a vegetarian Indian class and made delicious aloo gobi, pilau, dahl, and raita all from scratch. Parsati led a very hands-on class and gave us helpful tips for the dishes we were cooking as well as Indian cooking in general. Her pointers on spices and sauces were especially helpful. Her kitchen and dining area was comfortable and clean and she made us feel welcome and covid-safe. Would definitely recommend for people looking for a lovely evening and new recipes!

Booked the class Vegan Indian Spread with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

Absolutely WONDERFUL! I highly recommend taking one of Chef Parsati's classes! From the moment I arrived she was very quick to make me feel comfortable and right at home. We worked together to create one of the most delicious Indian meals I have ever had. Her knowledge and expertise were very evident from the get-go. She took the time to explain in detail all of the spices and ingredients to be used in our dishes, and also put a lot of care into teaching me the steps, in addition to sharing tons of tips and tricks for making the perfect dish every time. I must say, I have taken many cooking classes during my travels all around the world and Chef Parsati is top-notched! I will definitely be a repeat client! Thanks, Chef!

It was a great experience learning from Chef Ziva! She is very informative, fun to talk to, we instantly felt it was a gathering with an old friend. The food that we learnt how to cook was amazingly good, and it was also easy to learn. Our team had a great time and everyone loved the food so much!

A great first cooking class experience. Everyone felt at ease right away. The food tasted great. Our group learned various cooking techniques that I will be trying at home, like how to poach eggs or make the bread.

Motoko was great! She was instructive, brought fresh materials from her own garden and introduced us to them, and was an all-around lovely person. The food was delicious too!

Melissa C.

Booked the class Make Your Own Kimchi with Chef Stacey in San Jose (Broadway - Palmhaven)

Attending Chef Stacey's home for a cooking class is like walking into a magazine editorial- her space is absolutely AMAZING. From the kitchen to the patio to the garden, her place is the perfect space to host a cooking class. Chef Stacey is extremely passionate about healthy food and I learned so much from her. The lecture was very informative and the food was absolutely delicious.

Peter M.

Booked the class A Taste of Vegan Indian Comforts with Chef Rajeswari in East Bay (Union City)

We cooked tomato daal, jeera rice, carrot poriyal and moong dal paayasam and learned to use a simple pressure cooker. All were excellent. Chef Raaje is very personable and gave good pointers to make cooking easy and for best results. She modified the recipes for my dairy allergy. We highly recommend her class.

Katlin K.

Booked the class North Indian Vegetarian Fare with Chef Rajeswari in East Bay (Union City)

My mom and I had a wonderful time with Chef Rajeswari! We made roti, paneer tiki masala, and a potato dish that ended up being so delicious! I canâ€™t wait to make these dishes again and was grateful for the experience with my mom.

Siobhan H.

Booked the class North Indian Vegetarian Fare with Chef Rajeswari in East Bay (Union City)

This was our first-ever cooking class and Chef Raaje made it special. My husband is vegetarian so we opted for her class on Northern Indian vegetarian fare, including a delightful, simple-to-make potato curry, and a deeply flavored paneer butter masala. Rose lassi and warm roti rounded out our meal selection. Chef Raaje is a consummate host; she had snacks and drinks ready after our hour-long drive over. Her beautiful home and kitchen were sparkling clean. She gave us a short introduction and briefly explained the differences between northern and southern Indian food, as well as the philosophy of using the freshest spices and produce. I appreciate that our class was very hands-on. We cooked while stood to the side and answered questions we had. Our meal was delicious and we ate while Chef Raaje handled the dishes. (My least favorite part of cooking!) When we ended the evening, she gave us lovely parting gifts (including one for my daughter who wasnâ€™t with us!) and printouts of our recipes â€” which I will absolutely be making again in the near future. I would absolutely, wholeheartedly recommend taking a class with Chef Raaje.

Glenda H.

Booked the class North Indian Vegetarian Fare with Chef Rajeswari in East Bay (Union City)

What a treat to learn how to cook Indian dishes in Chef Rajeâ€™s home! Chef Raje shared some great time-saving tips that made cooking Indian food more accessible to the novice. We made tomato dal, jeera rice, and carrot poriyal and she gave plenty of tips for making the dishes vegan and/or vegetarian. She even made a special potato dish just for us! We felt very welcomed and I would definitely take another class with Chef Raje! She made our day very special!

Booked the class The Best Vegan Biryani Ever with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

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.

Had such a great time cooking with Chef Parsati! She was great at guiding us while cooking while also taking time to answer our questions. Food was wonderful - the biryani was especially amazing though. There were so many amazing little details that went into it.

Chef Rajeswari is excellent. We really enjoyed the class. We had a very nice time, and the food was excellent. I also learned a lot about how to use oil and butter in my cooking and I am looking forward to using some of my new knowledge when I cook. We made Paneer Butter Masala, Aloo Sabzi, Roti, and Rosewater Lassi. Everything was great.

We had an excellent time taking a cooking class with Chef Raaje. Her upbeat personality, warm energy, and fascinating stories made the entire experience unforgettable. We learned how to make curries, roti, and lassi, and the end result was a delicious meal we were truly proud of. The best part was Chef Raajeâ€™s wonderful explanationsâ€”not only about the food and spices, but also about the culture and traditions of India. Her kitchen was spotless, every participant had their own workspace and recipe set, and everything was well-prepared and easy to follow. She guided us step by step, ensuring we felt confident and had fun throughout. We had a great time and highly recommend this class to anyone looking for an authentic, enjoyable, and flavorful cooking experience!

Alina W.

Booked the class Vegetarian Japanese Favorites with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

I took Chef Parsatiâ€™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 â€” 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 â€” especially the homemade unagi sauce and the silky green tea custard to finish. The atmosphere felt like a true izakaya experience, and Chef Parsatiâ€™s warmth and knowledge made it even more special. Highly recommend this class for anyone looking to explore Japanese cooking â€” whether youâ€™re a beginner, a vegetarian, or just looking for a memorable culinary experience to share with family!

Siang K.

Booked the class North Indian Vegetarian Fare with Chef Rajeswari in East Bay (Union City)

Chef Raj was amazing! Her space is super welcoming and inspiring. We made so many things from scratch that I thought could only be bought from stores. She also shared a lot of home cooking recipe thatâ€™s outside of the curriculum. Itâ€™s so hard to find good vegetarian cooking class in the bay so this is a lifesaver for my vegetarian fiancÃ©â€™s birthday. We had such a great time and are ready to cook more at home after learning g so much from chef Raj! Definitely booking again for other occasions and dishes.
