Booked the 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.

What a treat to be welcomed into Chef Polly’s home to learn how to cook Korean food. Chef Polly has a way of familiarizing Korean food and making it feel more accessible. I’m looking forward to making these dishes on my own!

Chef Polly was so welcoming and made the entire experience unforgettable! She didn’t just teach us how to cook — she took us on a beautiful culinary and cultural journey through Korean history and flavors. Her explanations were clear, engaging, and filled with fun stories that made everyone feel comfortable and connected. I loved how she encouraged us to interact, share, and truly enjoy the process. It felt more like cooking with a friend than being in a class. Highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves learning about food and culture!

Booked the class Ultimate Vegetarian Dumplings with Chef Edmund in San Francisco (Hayes Valley)

Such a fun night! Chef Eddie was an amazing teacher, giving detailed instructions plus individual feedback and recommendations to everyone who attended. He also taught us a ton about soy sauces and how to mix different ingredients together to make the perfect dumpling dipping sauce. And of course all the food was exceptionally delicious. We've already discussed looking for more Chef Eddie classes to attend in the future!

Booked the class Korean Food Essentials with Chef Polly in East Bay (Alameda)

I had such a wonderful experience taking Chef Polly's Korean food essentials class! From the moment the class began, she created a welcoming, engaging, and fun environment that made everyone feel comfortable, regardless of their cooking experience. Chef Polly has a gift for breaking down techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps while also sharing the stories, traditions, and culture behind each dish. Her passion for Korean cuisine is contagious, and you can tell she genuinely loves teaching others. She was patient, encouraging, and happy to answer every question along the way. The food was absolutely delicious, and I left not only with recipes I can't wait to recreate at home, but also with a much deeper appreciation for Korean cooking. This was one of the most enjoyable cooking classes I've taken, and I would recommend Chef Polly to anyone looking for a fun, informative, and memorable culinary experience.

A great introduction to (vegetarian) dumplings, with culinary professional in setup and presentation, but with the care of imparting a familiar family recipe.

Alan A. August, 2025

Booked the class Gluten-Free Dumpling Delights with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

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.

Booked the class Traditional Pork Dumpling Masterclass with Chef Edmund in San Francisco (Hayes Valley)

What a terrific experience this was. Eddie was outstanding. I'm a school leader, and I know a good teacher when I see one - Eddie is top notch. He gave clear, kind instructions. Everyone got better in a hurry, and we had fun along the way. He was so thoughtful in the construction of the experience over the course of the evening. Couldn't recommend this experience more highly!

Daniel M. June, 2024

Booked the class Traditional Pork Dumpling Masterclass with Chef Edmund in San Francisco (Hayes Valley)

10/10 this was an amazing class, and I strongly recommend it! Chef Eddie taught us how to prepare the dumpling dough from scratch. This consisted the kneading, the resting, the breaking off pieces, rolling them out, how to stuff and cook them. What I really appreciated what how creative he was in his teaching methods. For demonstration and practice, he had a rough practice dough for us to practice with while our dough was resting. He even had us practice pleating with Playdo, which I thought was brilliant! There was even a little camera to project what his fingers were doing onto a large TV, so that watch either the finesse of the fingers or the larger view. Chef Eddie also made sure to check in on how we were doing, and provided regular and frequent feedback so that we learned how to do everything correctly. And it worked - all the dumplings in our class survived! In addition, he also demonstrated how to braise pork belly (which was delicious), and how to prepare Tang Yuan as a rice-flour dessert variant of the dumpling. Chef Eddie had us try various soy sauces so that we could experience how they vary in flavor an quality, and also explained to us the stories and cultural significance of these dishes. I absolutely loved this class, and if any of my friends express curiosity in how to make dumplings I will immediately direct them to Chef Eddie. If I could take it again, I would!

Booked the class Indian Cooking Techniques with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

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.

Lilly L. February, 2023

Booked the class Indian Cooking Techniques with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

Chef Parsati's Indian Cooking Techniques class is the second class I have taken from her. As with my first experience, the class was a delight, with easy-to-follow, hands-on instruction provided with informative technical and historic background. Chef Parsati goes out of here way to ensure a warm, comfortable, and accommodating atmosphere, with the class culminating with a lunch of the truly delicious food we prepared. After the first class, I was easily able to prepare every dish presented and have done so repeatedly. I look forward to cooking the the dishes from my second class. Furthermore, as I did with the first class, I also look forward to applying the lessons learned, both in cooking techniques and Indian spices, to other dishes. Chef Parsati's classes were well worth the money, and I recommend them. In fact, Chef Parsati offers yet another class that includes Indian royal chicken/vegetable biriyani. I plan to take that class next.

I did the Ayurveda course from Chef Parsati as a Christmas gift for my mom and she loved it!!! The experience was amazing, all the meals we cooked were so delicious, and we learned so much about the ayurveda cooking from Chef Parsati. I am a full on beginner but I felt comfortable in Chef Parsati's kitchen. The vibes were great and the food. 10/10 experience!

This class was amazing and the food we made was delicious! The class was in a beautiful kitchen, and Chef Parsati was very careful about cleanliness and safety. We used organic whole fresh ingredients and Chef Parsati explained each step and ingredient to make sure we were learning as we went. She even offered tips about adapting these recipes for different kitchens and using them for meal prepping. She provided us the recipes after, and I’m excited to try these out again at home. Overall a wonderful experience!

Chef Parsati was great! The food was delicious and she gave us all a chance to learn the traditional dishes. She was very personable as well and made us feel comfortable in the kitchen. Plenty of good food. I now have a favorite Indian dish; I used to think it was butter chicken but Chicken Pasanda is sooo much better!

David F. July, 2021

Booked the class Explore Northern India with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

My son gave me a cooking class with Chef Parsati for my 66th birthday, and had kept the event/destination a surprise to me -- the two of us comprised her whole class. The experience was relaxed, informative, fun, and culminated with our enjoying the products of our labor. (Chef Parsati graciously called herself our "sous chef", letting us do all the key steps beyond her orderly preparation setting out the ingredients, ready for slicing, chopping, etc.) She made us feel at home immediately, and was warm and friendly throughout. Her kitchen and dining area were scrupulously clean, and she observed COVID protocols out of an abundance of caution, e.g. remaining masked throughout though all of us were fully vaccinated. Her expertise with North Indian cuisine was obvious. She had useful tips, e.g. preferred cooking oils, how to sequence the ingredients, and how to time the cooking. She showed how to share several ingredients across dishes in the menu, yielding distinct tastes by virtue of different proportions and seasonings. Her explanations were clear and she patiently answered all our questions. She also was flexible in adapting all the recipes to avoid ingredients my son is allergic to, e.g. replacing lentils with tofu in the Dal. All the dishes were delicious, even the tofu, which I normally find unexciting. My favorite was the Kebabs (pictured), which appeared flame-grilled, though we actually fried them. We had ample time at the end to eat our fill and pack leftovers. I was delighted by the experience and enthusiastically recommend this class!

Crystal C. July, 2021

Booked the class Explore Northern India with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

Chef Parsati's "Explore Northern India" class was incredible! My three girlfriends and I enjoyed the class thoroughly while celebrating two of my girlfriends' birthdays. Chef shared her knowledge of the cuisine and cooking techniques - from the unique flavors & spices of Northern India to the order of ingredients and timing of the heat. The aromas of each dish were divine and eating all of the meals we cooked together was very satisfying and so delicious. We would definitely recommend a class with Chef Parsati and would book another class with her in the future.

Norbert Y. November, 2019

Booked the class New York Style Pizza with Chef Daniel in San Francisco (Potrero Hill)

I am still going to give Chef Daniel five stars for being genial and professional, even though it was very hard to navigate the neighborhood, as Santee is more of an alley than a street, and the building itself was hard to get into, with so many security features. I was late as a result.
