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!!
