Booked the event 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!
Booked the event Interactive Italian Pasta Making with Chef Dirk in San Francisco (Mission District)
Highly recommend taking a class from chef Dirk. We were celebrating a birthday and had an amazing experience. We took the interactive pasta making class. Chef gave great instruction , was patient and at the same time fun!
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.

Booked the class 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.

Great time
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.

Our executive team had a blast with Chef Dirk! Would definitely recommend for a corporate outing. Chef Dirk was so patient with me leading up to the event, answering all my questions in a timely manner. I appreciate your assistance to ensure our team had a fun and unique experience!
Booked the event Asian Fusion Culinary Challenge with Chef Dirk in San Francisco (Mission District)
The Chef was awesome, great personality, very fun and engaging. The group had a good time! However, the venue itself (I believe the chef's home) was quite shocking. There was a mess everywhere. There were non-functioning lights. The space was small but very untidy and felt chaotic. There was also a cat, which for our group was OK, but might affect others if there are allergies for guests, etc. The supplies were mis-matched and it felt disjointed. He had everything mapped and planned out well, but just seemed too casual for a corporate group. I would not suggest this for any type of executive/corporate group - but Ok for a group of friends or family.
Booked the event Interactive Italian Pasta Making with Chef Dirk in San Francisco (Mission District)
Our Executive Team of 11 had a wonderful Italian team building cooking experience with Chef Dirk! He has such a great, upbeat personality that had all of us laughing and engaged. We made a wonderful meal of homemade pasta and sauces, the dessert was fabulous and we really enjoyed our evening. He did a great job of accommodating our 3 food restrictions. I highly recommend him if you want a yummy dinner, great entertainment and to learn how to cook!

Chef Daniel was awesome! My fiance and I love to cook and wanted to do our engagement photos cooking. Chef Daniel's kitchen is so spacious and open and perfect for a big group. He accommodated our strange request to do our engagement photos during the cooking class. The food was delicious and Chef Daniel loves to teach and explain techniques while cooking. I think everyone came away from the class with new skills. Would definitely take another class with Chef Daniel. Thank you!!

My friend and I throughly enjoyed our cooking experience with Chef Dirk last night. Chef Dirk cheerfully welcomed us into his beautiful home, patiently showed us how to prep various ingredients, cook and plate the final products. We were not rushed through the meal even though it was getting pretty late. We are inspired to recreate the tasty dishes for our friends soon!

Chef Dirk was so gracious in inviting us into his home (which happens to be the most gorgeous home.) He ensured that our experience was amazing from the beginning. Every person got a turn on every aspect of the meal, and chef Dirk was so great about making sure this happened. He was very personable and had a great balance of sharing personal annnectodes while at the same time listening to those who were a part of the class! Lastly, the food was absolutley amazing. I felt like I walked out of the experience knowing more about cooking and feeling more confident in the kitchen! Would highly recommend.

I left another review for this same experience - but I had 2 reservations so I'm leaving 2 reviews! We had a great evening with Chef Dirk and I wholeheartedly recommend this as a great evening out!
Booked the class Sophisticated French Feast with Chef Dirk in San Francisco (Mission District)
Wow! We had an absolute blast with Dirk - an excellent evening out and much more interesting and engaging than just going out for dinner. The cooking class was advertised to be 3 hours but we ended up leaving staying and enjoying our food for another 90 minutes. Dirk was a pleasure to be with, we learned a bit about cooking, and we spent a lovely evening in his beautiful home. I am glad I did this and I look forward to the opportunity to do it again!

Thank you so much for helping make my girlfriend's birthday a little more special. Chef Dirk is full of energy and makes sure that his guests know exactly what they're doing so that the assembly line keeps chugging along, all while making it fun at the same time. He also has jokes for days. The produce are locally sourced in his backyard and he makes sure that all the ingredients he buys are fresh. When we were finally able to eat the food, it was very satisfying and enjoyable. The other people who came to cook also made the atmosphere very welcome. I recommend booking with Chef Dirk!

My husband and I enjoyed Chef Dirk’s German cooking class! We spent several hours at Chef dirks beautiful home in San Francisco, the kitchen and dining area were very cozy and perfect for our small class. During the class, we learned a lot about German culture and tips and tricks for the dishes we were prepping. I also enjoyed learning on how to keep my kitchen and prepping space more organized, clean and efficient! Chef dirks techniques and system while working in the kitchen were inspiring. The class was very hands on and the dishes were delicious and worth the wait! We also enjoyed the focus on plating our dishes (the dishes were almost too pretty to eat). Throughout the class, Chef dirk was engaging, personable, funny and entertaining. He also was open to answering many of the questions I had Throughout the class. He was a great teacher and host (his strong background in hospitality management showed)! We ended up going over our time but I didn’t mind since we were having so much fun! Would recommend for an intimate afternoon or evening learning how to cook!

We had an amazing class with Chef Dirk. Perfect for a team offsite. Chef Dirk was super energetic (and funny!) throughout the class. The food was delicious (+ we got great pointers on table setting and plating)! We had a few vegetarians in the group and he accommodated perfectly. This was the best part of our team offsite and would highly recommend.
