Chef Parsati made this the warmest, most meaningful and informative event I’ve ever experienced. My partner and I went for our anniversary and it made for such a sweet experience. The recipes are now going to be fully incorporated (and I loved where she gave us suggestions to tailor them to what we already make/eat) and were incredibly tasty! I appreciated the whole group and process.

Non vegans can learn a great deal from Chef Parsati. My niece and I want to cook healthier dishes and this class is what we needed. Chef explains the vegan ingredients as recipes are assembled and followed up with sending an ingredient list after the class. Come learn and enjoy!

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!

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!

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.

Great evening with Chef Parsati! She did an excellent job of helping us cook an incredibly delicious and healthy dinner. We learned a lot and really enjoyed the whole process!

Kate

24 Mar 2024

I gave Chef Parsati's "Explore Northern India" class to my sister as a present and it certainly was a fun experience to have together. Chef took the time to learn about our cooking habits at home and tailored her tips and tricks to our needs. It really felt like we were hanging out in a friend's kitchen. All the recipes felt very approachable, and everything turned out delicious! We were so excited to try these new recipes again that we drove to the Indian grocery store nearby right after the class, and picked up some supplies.

Julie

11 Mar 2024

Thank yau, Chef Parsati, so much for your cooking class, we’ve learned not only different kind of cooking but also learned the healthy way to cook as well. Both my daughter in law and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you!

Chef Parsati’s cooking class was so much fun! The dishes she helped us create were delicious, and we will be able to make them at home now. Her directions were very clear and easy to follow. She answered all of our questions and was great to be around. I would recommend this class to anyone.

Darrell

26 Feb 2024

Not what we expected it was more like a cooking class from a home cook using ingredients from their refrigerator really dissapointed ?

Joshua

25 Feb 2024

My wife and I really enjoyed this class! It took place in Chef Parsati’s studio, an apartment that I think she mostly uses for these classes. It was comfy and of course had a beautiful kitchen. There was one other man there attending the class in the same time slot, and we all were given a chance to participate in the cooking. Chef Parsati is friendly, a lot of fun, and is clearly a well-rounded and knowledgeable chef. We learned about the origins of the dishes, and of course she showed us how to prepare them. Beyond that, though, this was really a “cooking class.” She actually taught us about why certain ingredients go together, what substitutions can be made for dietary restrictions or simply for a different flavor variation, and also what ingredients or flavors not to try in the dish because they wouldn’t go well (and why). She taught us how to make the dishes richer or lighter. Cooking classes are often just about following instructions and then eating. Chef Parsati gave us information we could use for lots of different dishes with an Indian flavor profile. I’m sure her classes from other cuisines would provide a similarly broad understanding of how to recreate the flavor profile of that cuisine. She taught us how much heat to apply at various stages for each dish (to achieve the proper char, without burning, for example). She really explained why we were doing what we were doing at each step, which makes me more confident we’ll be able to recreate it. Last but not least, the food was great!!

Jake

Embarking on a culinary adventure with Chef Parasti through Cozymeal's private cooking class was an experience to cherish. Her warmth and hospitality shone through from the moment we began, making us feel right at home in the world of vegetarian Japanese cuisine. Chef Parasti's passion for cooking and her expertise in vegetarian dishes were evident as she skillfully guided us through each recipe, sharing tips and tricks that only a seasoned chef would know. The atmosphere was light and joyful, with laughter and learning blending seamlessly as we prepared delicious, healthful dishes. Her patience and encouragement inspired confidence in our cooking abilities, turning what could have been a daunting task into an enjoyable and educational endeavor. The end result was not just a meal, but a memorable experience that enriched our appreciation for Japanese cuisine and left us eager to explore more. Chef Parasti's class was not just about cooking; it was about connecting with food and each other in the most delightful way.

What a delight to meet Chef Parsati and learn the wisdom and magic of cooking vegan Indian complete meal with her. We were 2 couples, celebrating our husband's birth days- rather then adding more gadgets, we added a beautiful and heart warming memory and learned new skills in the process. The space was well set for hosting at least few more people if needed. The ingredients all organic, fresh when possible. We learned the different variations of the dishes (great home work for future home meals to come). Chef Parsati shared bit of history about some of the dishes, the regions in India they come from, what influences a dish and ways to substitute ingredients based on dietary preferences, why it is better to use certain oils for cooking and much more. I loved to learn the science and reasoning as well as experience the many unique flavors of the Indian kitchen. This evening was truly a combination of culinary art, science, passion for sharing the love of cooking, super tasty and healthy meal as well as great memorable experience with our friends. My friends are already gathering the next dishes they wish to learn.. we will sure be back. Thanks you very much for a wonderful evening.

Chef Parsati gave us a wonderful experience during her Healthy Indian class. She brought a new energy into cooking, showing us how to have fun with flavors and customize any dish to our liking. I would 10/10 recommend this class for friends or even a date night (as we did!). Chef Parsati is super knowledgable about flavors from around the world, showing us how to accomodate and adjust dishes to anyone's liking. I wanted to try a dairy-free option, and she was incredible at showing us multiple tasty alternatives to use. My favorite part of the class was being able to be super hands on. Chef let us do the cooking, from start to end, answering all our questions and making us laugh and smile along the way. Thank you for a wonderful experience, you made us feel like cooking an amazingly delicious 4-course meal was a fun and light-hearted process. Can't wait to remake those dishes!

We had a wonderful cooking class experience with Chef Parsati! I LOVE Indian food, so was delighted when my husband gifted me a cooking lesson with Chef Parsati through cozymeal.com We decided on the Healthy Seasonal Indian Cuisine lesson comprised of: Salmon Amritsari Tikka,Saag Dal, Navratan Korma. The whole experience was fantastic! The location was convenient and parking was easy. Chef Parsati has the entire space set up to accommodate the class and is able to taylor the experience to your needs. She educated us on traditional Indian flavors and the spices used in the cooking, provided clear instructions, and made accommodations for our food allergies. Best of all the food was incredible! She uses high quality ingredients, and it shows. So delicious! She sent us the recipes following the sessions so we could make the dishes at home! 100% will do another class with Chef Parsati!

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 a pro! The menu we prepared was exactly what was advertised. She was very attentive to our possible allergies and dietary restrictions. The food we made was absolutely delicious! I would order it in a restaurant, but now I have the recipes and can make it at home. I will definitely make these recipes at home, with confidence, because of her class. I would highly recommend a class taught by Chef Parsati!!

My partner and I greatly enjoyed Indian cooking techniques from Chef Parsati. She catered to all of our needs, let us play our own music, and recommended wines to pair with our meal. The food was delicious and we enjoyed making it again on our own. We can’t can’t wait to go back and try her vegetarian sushi.

We loved attending the Hawaiian cooking class. Chef Parsati was very clean, believed in healthy cooking and educated us along the way. We made Hawaiian rice, huli huli chicken, potatoes, coco pops and had a wonderful experience making vegetarian poke with dressing. Chef Parsati is pleasant and I would highly recommend taking a cooking class from her.

Peter Tran

13 Jul 2023

I had the joy of experiencing a cooking class with Chef Parsati. Learning from her was such an honor, and I loved how she explained every step and the purpose of the ingredients. She was so warm, and I could tell from the way she spoke about the food and the ingredients that she was very passionate about cooking. Her cooking background is insane. She has traveled the world to learn what she knows, and I can't help but want to take more classes from her to learn more. We cooked 3 dishes in total, and they were all so freaking delicious. We made chicken kebobs, sahi aloo palak, halwa, and panchmel dal. I WANTED TO KEEP EATING BUT I COULDN'T!!! MY STOMACH COULDN'T HANDLE ANY MORE FOOD! 10/10 would recommend and would come back for another class

Melissa

Chef Parsati was very welcoming and taught many things in our short session. Her kitchen and home was clean and inviting, spacious for our group of 3. Her expertise and professionalism was a delight as my friends and I came into this experience not knowing what to expect. I highly recommend taking her classes. It wasn't just us cooking a delicious meal to enjoy at the end- stepping away from this with her experience, tips, tricks, and culinary wisdom honestly made it totally worth it.

What an incredible experience. Chef Parsati is completely lovely. She is knowledgeable, patient and so much fun to cook with. We took this class (4 of us) for a team building retreat. We were NOT disappointment. It was so much fun, and we literally had no idea what were doing. But Chef Parsati made us feel totally at home. We took with us so many tips for our daily lives. And to top it off, the food was incredible!

Chef Parsati was amazing! She was extremely personable, fun to be with and really good at helping us learn. We did a private lesson with her and she taught us to cook a wonderful tailored menu. She was very communicative and got along really well with us. She was able to help my older mom also learn how to cook and went out of her way to make sure she was comfortable and understood everything. We will surely be taking more classes with Chef Parsati again! She is an excellent Chef, a warm heart and just a joy to be around.

Great experience with Chef Parsati, that is very knowledgeable and offer variety of alternatives for all regimes. The cooking was excellent, the smells were exactly what you would imagine from an indian cuisine, and most importantly, we feel like we could almost replicate it at home now! + you get to taste what you prepared with Chef Parsati. Would highly recommend chef Parsati! Logistics are very easy, coordination with her was a no-brainer.

I booked a class with Chef Parsati for my boyfriend's birthday - just a date night for the 2 of us. The class exceeded both of our expectations! I was so thrilled with how much we both enjoyed the class! Chef Parsati was so thorough and informative throughout the process, explaining how flavors mix, which oils to use when and why, and the best types of pots/pans to use - especially which ones not to use for certain outcomes. She made a point to understand how we like to cook, what foods we like to cook, what methods we prefer, and how often we cook (like daily after work versus meal-prepping). Throughout the evening, she made substitution suggestions that matched our own preferences - from food substitutions to InstaPot/Air Fryer over stove-top cooking. We learned so much from Chef Parsati, and we absolutely loved out personalized our experience was! Finally, the food: I booked the Tropical Hawaiian Fare class, and by golly was it fabulous! I loved how healthy all of the ingredients were, and it was all so simple to make! Every item just knocked our socks off. I would highly recommend Chef Parsati, and I would high recommend the Tropical Hawaiian Fare!

What a delightful experience! I treated my husband to a couple's cooking class with Chef Parsati, and we both had a wonderful time. Chef Parsati makes cooking so accessible - she not only teaches you how to cook exceptional dishes (we chose Indian food), but she breaks down why flavors work together so you truly understand a little of the science behind the flavors. She has a wealth of knowledge, with a very global perspective influenced by cuisine from all over the world. Simply put...a wonderful way to spend an evening!!! Thank you Chef Parsati!!!!

Simon

18 Feb 2023

Chef Parsati created a fun experience for my girl friend and I. Over the hour we cooked 3 dishes with the indochinese theme and spent 30min eating and chatting with the chef. The dishes were yummy and the home kitchen setting felt comfortable and intimate. We did wish the class was more hands-on and it did feel a little short.

Irving

13 Feb 2023

I went to the class with my wife. The class with chef Parsati was fun and entertaining. She explains the different flavors you are adding and is with you throughout the process to make sure everything is running good. You can even put on your own music which definitely helps when you are preparing food. When we tried the meals we prepared it was so yummy. I would recommend her and would come back for another class.

Erica

13 Feb 2023

It was a fun experience and I felt like I learned some new things from class! We definitely walked away adding some staple items on our next grocery list. I thought it would be a little more hands on and the work would be distributed more evenly with the class but I did feel like I was able to learn from watching most of the time.

Will

11 Feb 2023

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!

Guy

10 Feb 2023

We loved the Healthy Seasonal Cooking class - Chef Parsati is very knowledgable, professional, and an excellent teachers. We cook a lot, including some indian food, yet we learned quite a few new tips and tricks. The menu was very well designed, and the flavors were even better than we expected. Specifically the fish dish was a killer. We would highly reccommend both Chef Parsati and this class to anyone!

06 Feb 2023

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.

Kay

05 Feb 2023

Had a lovely time and learned some great skills. Chef Parsati was very thoughtful and tailored the class to suit everyone’s needs. She focused on techniques that can be easily applied at home, and not so specific to the dishes we cook. She was very nice and welcoming. Excited to have more dishes to spice up weeknight dinners!

25 Jan 2023

My husband and I took the Tropical Hawaiian Fare class with Chef Parsati as a belated birthday present for him and it was absolutely fantastic. The food was excellent and she did a great job of explaining the steps and how we could use the recipes as a base to modify from when cooking at home. I'll definitely be making all of the recipes again. I was really pleased with the vegetarian options available because some of the people I enjoy cooking for are vegetarian and I'm looking forward to sharing these dishes with them too! My only regret is that I didn't sign up for one of her classes earlier because we're moving out of state and I don't know if I can make the time to squeeze any more classes in before we leave. Don't make my mistake!

Anna

24 Jan 2023

My small but global team of 6, which came from across the country and Europe, gathered in the kitchen of Chef Parsati for a cooking class as our team building event. We choose the class with foods that are great for the mind and mood. Chef Parsati was personable, energizing, curious about our culinary backgrounds and accommodating our dietary restrictions and preferences. Spending evening in a cozy home atmosphere while cooking, talking, tasting, learning and eating was a great way to relax after a full day of meetings. The menu was simple, nutritious and delicious. Chef Parsati explained every recipe and shared tips on spices, ingredients and preparation. Everyone had an apron and chopping board. It was like a cooking academy! We went our homes/hotels satiated, relaxed and in a very good mood. Strongly recommend it!

Melissa

Chef Parsati was a wonderful instructor and the class exceeded our expectations! I purchased the class as a gift for my wife for Christmas and needed to move the date from our original booking; Chef Parsati was able to accommodate and a a help arrange a fabulous environment that was a great first experience for anyone who is just learning to cook. The menu was provided ahead of time so we knew what the ingredients were and also got to bring along a bottle of wine to enjoy for the meal as well(I recommend Ubering or rideshare if you choose to bring wine or beer for your trip). Chef Parasari provided us with aprons and was a great instructor throughout the course of the cooking class; she helped walk us through how to prep and prepare the ingredients and answered all of my wife's questions about how to best cook each dish. All of the dishes that we prepared tasted amazing (if I had to pick a favorite, mine was the pizza we prepared that had a naan base that was the very delicious). The experience was definitely worth the price and I highly recommended this cooking class as a great date night or work outing . Chef Parasati also brought an awesome energy and creativity to the experience and helped introduce some new ingredients that expanded our tasting palettes and ideas for cooking in the future. I highly recommend booking Chef Parasati's class if you are a vegan; the dishes are carefully crafted to fill you up and provide great tasting delicacies at the same time. The class is also a great chance to have a new experience to meet chef's who share their knowledge and passion for cooking great food and are there to make sure you have a time as well!

Kristina

16 Jan 2023

Highly recommend Chef Parsati! She was easy to communicate with. We needed a vegetarian option for the menu and she was able to provide options ahead of time for us to consider and decide upon. Her home was spacious, warm and inviting. We were able to bring a bottle of wine to enjoy while learning various techniques. It was an interactive social cooking experience and can't forget the fact that the food was AMAZING! We left satisfied and happy and full. Chef Parsati knows what she is doing!

Diana

15 Jan 2023

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!

We had a fantastic time learning how to cook authentic Indian dishes from Parsati. She is very knowledgeable about every aspect of each ingredient's role in giving the dish its flavor, and spares no expense to educate us on them, giving clear and simple steps in the entire cooking process. She even went the extra mile to teach us best practices for handling knives, and how to source the same ingredients within our local vicinity. She answered all the questions we had, from technical to simple, and then some more. It was an all around awesome time learning to cook from Parsati. I'd like to try her other cooking courses in future!

It was such a lovely, educational evening! Prior to arriving, Chef Parsati was very responsive in our communications. Our party of six was quickly greeted by Chef Parsati in her beautiful home. The house was inviting and she made us feel at ease. Our group of friends have never done anything like this and didn’t know what to expect, but the Chef was able to communicate clearly what we would be doing and laid out the game plan for the entire evening. She provided a small dish of eggrolls to start, but that was the only thing we would eat that night that we didn’t cook. She walked us through what to make, what seasonings to add, and provided all the necessary equipments (knives, bowls, utensils) to make this an enjoyable experience. Chef Parsati taught us small tips and tricks to cooking which was invaluable. She took an abundance of photos and she shared with us via google photos link. Overall, it was a fun time with lots of laughs in a cozy, intimate setting.

Steve

Our group of 8 had a really fun experience in Chef Parsati's Vegetarian Indian Comfort Food class. She prepped a few of the ingredients before our class but we all participated in cooking everything for our meal. The meal was delicious and festive. Chef Parsati was very knowledgeable, professional, and organized. She was super enthusiastic and energetic and kept our group on schedule. I learned some things from her that I never would have learned by just following a recipe. We highly recommend Chef Parsati.

We had a terrific time- she explained the dishes very well, the techniques to use as well as tips and advice, and more. She was clearly very knowledgeable due to her varied background in culinary expertise as well as her ability to accommodate dietary needs on the fly. I will 100% be back for her other classes and will be recommending to all my friends as well. Thank you Chef!

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!

Chef Parsati welcomed us into her kitchen and was a wonderful host. The first half of the time we spent cooking and quickly learned many tips and Indian cooking techniques, making a curry, rice dish, dessert, and small salad all at once. The second half of the time we got to enjoy the delicious food we made and talk about culture, food, our lives, and of course the best places to eat! Parsati is very flexible and can help cater the class to dietary restrictions or if you want to focus on something specific! It was a joy to take the class and learn what she has to offer.

Debbie

04 Nov 2022

Chef Parsati delivers once again! Her Hawaiian class was so delicious and full of wonderful recipes. Chef Parsati is well organized, pleasant, and cognizant of healthy cooking habits as well as a clean kitchen. She makes sure that everyone gets hands on experience and welcomes questions. And at the end, she provides a very pleasant dining experience where you can enjoy the tasty dishes you just prepared. This is my second class with Chef Parsati, and I look forward to taking more in the future.

11/10 experience. I was really looking forward to cooking with Chef Parsati, and to learn from her years of culinary experience. Not only is she incredibly experienced, but she also has a cool story as well! We made delicious salmon with vegetables, kale salad and almond fudge. I was shocked at how good it was (no kidding) and most importantly, it was all healthy. I cook my food quite bland so I learned how to properly use spices along with some other cooking tips like heating up the sauce pan first before putting olive oil on. Really great experience, and I recommend cooking with Chef Parsati if you want to expand out of the typical meals you cook, gain some culinary knowledge and have a fun time. 100% booking another session. Thank you Chef Parsati! :)

As my first time booking Chef Parsati, I didn’t know what to expect but I was completely blown away by the warm welcome and incredible experience she was able to provide me and my girlfriend. It was fun, educational, immersive, and best of yet—the food turned out amazing! I highly recommend Chef Parsati if you want a 5-star experience!

I had a great class with Chef Parsati. She was extremely welcoming and the dishes we cooked were easy and delicious. I have tried cooking curries at home before, but have never achieved such layered favor as we made in this class.

Booked this class for my boyfriend’s birthday and we had a wonderful time. The food was amazing and so fresh and we learned some helpful tips along the way. Chef Parsati was a joy and so welcoming.

I brought my friend for the Hawaiian cooking class with Chef Parsati to celebrate her 50th birthday and we had a wonderful time! Chef Parsati was very friendly and knowledgeable and the food was amazing. Chef Parsati's home was a very clean and cozy environment that made for a very personal experience.

Our experience with Chef Parsati was great! Chef Parsati was incredibly thoughtful, preparing a snack for us so we wouldn’t get hungry while cooking the meal, adding a sweet to the menu to celebrate my fiancée’s birthday, and gifting a small candle to my fiancée for her birthday. It was all incredibly thoughtful. The experience could have been slightly improved if we were able to take the leftovers we cooked home. Otherwise the experience was wonderful!

William

25 Jul 2022

My parents and I had a great time at Chef Parsati's class! The helpful tips she gave for everything from where to find good ingredients and utensils to how to get the most flavor out of herbs, her patience and good humor, and of course the brilliance of the food itself - all of this was flawless. The shahi aloo palak was particularly great; I've tried multiple dishes with paneer at restaurants and thought it was an inherently bland ingredient, but Chef Parsati taught us how to bring out its flavor, blend it with the flavors of the spices and spinach, and make an amazing dish! I'd recommend this class to anyone, regardless of experience in the kitchen.

Megan

17 Jul 2022

Chef Parsati was excellent at answering questions and giving versatile ingredient options so we knew how to adapt recipes at home. It was a bit fast paced, but learned a lot in a short amount of time! Appreciate her insight during this class and now feel much more confident cooking Indian dishes at home!

We had a great time with Chef Parsati. Chef took the time to explain everything. We love her charm, passion and energy while teaching us how to cook. She made things simple and the food was delicious. Our plates were cleaned at the end of dinner. I also, have to give a shout out to her homemade spices. They are amazing.

Namita

11 Jul 2022

Chef Parsati was awesome. She explained minutest of details while letting us prepare the food. Those tips and tricks are the ones that will make your food shine. Also, she will ask you what are you looking for from this class and she will make sure you learn it from this class. She even told us how to pair certain dishes to enhance the taste of overall meal. I loved her class and recommend it to everyone.

We had such a wonderful day today with Chef Parsati. Not only was the food delicious, and the recipes clearly explained, but she was also very personable, well organized and we got to do most of the cooking. We were treated like her guests, with a beautifully presented table. Her entire kitchen was extremely clean and emphasis was made on healthy and sanitary cooking habits. I have been cooking for years, and yet I learned a lot today from Chef Parsati, which I greatly appreciated. I look forward to taking more classes from her in the future.

Enjoyed our time with Chef Parsati! She was very kind and knowledgeable. Something to note, the class is held at the Chef's home. But that didn't take away from the great lessons we learned. Would recommend to everyone!

Gina

28 May 2022

Parsati was very helpful making my first experience with cooking class super easy. She made sure everyone was hands on. That ponzu sauce was amazing I’m glad I learned how to make it probably my favorite part of the class. I would definitely recommend going to her again but this time I’ll bring my friends since I came alone. Also love that she substitutes some ingredients for people who are health conscious ! Big plus. Thank you for letting us in your wonderful place

Larry

22 May 2022

Chef Parsati was extraordinary! Her multicultural cooking background really came through in our class, and she paced the class well such that everyone was able to be hands on without feeling rushed. She even taught us how to make Naanzza, a naan + pizza fusion dish of her own creation, in addition to the main 4-course meal because it was a celebratory bachelor's party. So generous! Would highly recommend!

Chef Parsati gave us a warm welcome upon arrival, it felt like reuniting with an old friend. She was very hospitable and friendly. She was very concerned if she had missed any dietary restrictions and we felt very much at home. There were only 4 people which made the experience great because it made it more of an intimate setting. We had such a great experience with learning different techniques and getting some cultural education and the fact that you could even make the dish vegetarian was a plus. I would totally recommend this outing as a date or with friends, it was totally worth the price and to experience the process of cooking with a professional. I must add the food was just spectacular.

Quinn

15 May 2022

Alexander

18 Apr 2022

Chef Parsati was great! During the lesson, she explained everything to me and my friend while demonstrating the cooking. She taught us the differences in spices and all the variations of cooking the chicken pasanda. She made the lesson valuable by going over these variations including the rice and what to do when you don't have a spice and the ratio of spices and herbs/ingredients and what substitutes. I would very much like to visit her again and take more lessons in the future.

Brian

18 Apr 2022

When I stepped into her kitchen she shared her amazing skills and knowledge. I really appreciated how she shared the health benefits of the foods and spices we were using and she taught me how to be versatile with the recipes. I learnt how to make prepping food easier and have zero waste. I could not stop myself from eating the DELICIOUS food we prepared. The class was hands on and easygoing. I will definitely be taking more classes with Chef Parsati. Thank you. Edith.

Chef Parsati is intelligent and friendly. She made us feel like honored guests in her home and customized the experience for our group, which was my partner and me plus one other couple. We learned valuable tips and tricks that we can use at home in our own kitchen. She is highly knowledgeable and has experience teaching many types of cuisines to various levels of student; we would definitely choose to learn more from her in the future. Her informative lessons offered options to tailor recipes to individual dietary and taste preferences. We had a great time, the food was delicious, and I strongly recommend this charming interactive experience!

Chef Parsati created such a nice experience for my family in her clean and welcoming home. She was willing to teach to our various skill levels (including our 12 year old son) and adjusted the dishes to taste. I loved the many small tips she gave us throughout, including how to come back from making some small mistakes. She is really knowledgeable and efficient in the kitchen, yet also warm and friendly. I would recommend her class to any skill level!

Cheryl

30 Jan 2022

We did this class as a "family event" with our 13 year-old son and 17 year old daughter and it was their first time trying Indian food. (My husband and I LOVE Indian food). Chef Parsati was incredibly organized and made the whole experience very fun and informative for both the adults and the "young adults". She tailored the experience to our cooking experience (my husband is a great chef, me and the kids much less so :) and also gave a ton of tips and tricks for alternative ingredients and ways to make the prep easier/quicker. I definitely recommend Chef Parsati's class!

Laura

24 Jan 2022

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!

Kirsten

22 Jan 2022

22 Jan 2022

Cooking with Chef Parsati was a blast for a date night experience. We felt at ease in her impeccably clean kitchen and appreciated her attention to COVID protocols. Chef Parsati is super knowledgeable of the ingredients and techniques, attentive to detail, and points out endless variations for how you might tweak dishes according to your own tastes or the ingredients you have on hand. All of the ingredients we used were fresh/ & homemade; she even makes her own small batch spices. The end product was a 10/10, out of this world delicious. I can’t wait to try to replicate what we learned from Chef Parsati and expect to be back in her kitchen for another class. Thank you, Chef Parsati!

Our family had such a wonderful experience with Chef Parvati! She was professional, knowledgeable and very personable. She made us all feel very comfortable in her home and kitchen. The class was hands-on and although she showed us how she does things, she encouraged us and our teenaged children to change/adjust recipes and techniques to our liking, and gave us other ideas on how to give the recipes variety. Her home and kitchen are kept very clean. And, very importantly, the food was delicious!! We learned a lot, had fun and spent great quality time together! Hoping to do more classes with Chef Parvati in the near future!

We had a great time with Chef Parsati! All the dishes had similar ingredients making it easier for us (beginners) to remember & were budget friendly!

21 Dec 2021

My son and I signed up for the Vegan Indian Spread with Chef Parsati and it was a wonderful experience. As it turned out, we had Chef Parsati all to ourselves which made the experience even better. She warmly welcomed us into her lovely home and explained her vast experience to us which was very impressive. With both of us being fairly new to vegan cooking, she patiently took us through each step of the preparations explaining the variety of Indian spices used in most Indian dishes and how each flavor impacted the final flavor of the dish. We finished our class enjoying a delicious vegan meal and we were delighted with the entire experience and recommend it highly. Thank you Chef Parsati!

Nathan

18 Dec 2021

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!

Denise

14 Dec 2021

My daughter and I had a really nice time with Chef Parsati and her cooking expertise. The kitchen and dining area were spotless and comfortable. She was extremely communicative about all of the Indian ingredients and techniques, and all of the cooking was totally hands-on so we really learned how to make these dishes. It turned out that it was just the two of us so we got the full experience and her undivided attention, which was a bonus. The food was all delicious and having our home cooked Indian meal at the end was the reward!

Heidi

13 Dec 2021

We took the Healthy Seasonal Indian Cuisine class with Chef Parsati. She showed us how to cook 3 dishes and a dessert. We learned the techniques for the dishes, but also how we could adapt them to our own dietary needs, which was very helpful. We also learned more about the different Indian spices. The food was delicious and we enjoyed our time.

Kyle

10 Dec 2021

My girlfriend and I had a great time at Chef Parsati's vegan Indian class. All of the food we made was made from scratch with high quality fresh ingredients and real spices. Everything we made was delicious, although I was particularly happy with the tofu dish. That was probably the most flavorful way I have ever cooked tofu. The chef was very welcoming to us and taught an informative class. We look forward to making these recipes at home in the future, and would recommend others to take the class. Thanks again!

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!

Nicholas

12 Nov 2021

Chef Parsati was the consummate professional. My husband has zero cooking ability but she was able to get him to cook 4 legit Indian dishes in 90 minutes, including a salad, rice, chicken dish, and tapioca dessert. She gave us tips and tricks for cooking in general, including how to use a mandolin and how to not cry when cutting onions. 90 minutes is quite fast to really absorb all the information, but she was kind enough to email us the PDF recipes so we can try again later. Thanks to Chef Parsati for giving us the confidence and skills to cook Indian food!

Amanda

04 Oct 2021

I had the fun privilege of cooking under Chef Parsati's instruction last Saturday. Chef Parsati was very clear in her instruction, and provided recipes as well as many tips and tricks to be successful. I am vegan, but my friend who attend is not and we both very much enjoyed the food. It was very comfortable to be in her home, and to learn from a professional. If you like to cook and would like to broaden your comfort with new recipes I recommend a class from Chef Parsati.

Chef Parsati was wonderful - a gracious host and wonderful instructor. We took her Hawaiian cooking class as a three generation family event with ages from 14-82. Chef was able to connect with all of us and especially our 14-year old chef in training. A great experience and we will be back. As to the food - all terrific including things I would never have thought of like veggie poke. And the huli huli chicken was amazing.

Chef Parsati is fun and very knowledgeable chef. She customized the menu for our requests. The dishes we learned were very colorful, tasty, and easy to make. She introduced me new flavors!

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!

We attended Chef Parsati’s class to celebrate my wife’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!

Chef Parasti brings a warm reception, a cute, clean kitchen and a full life of locally trained international expertise to her cooking classes. Her experience living all over Asia, Europe and the US brought a really interesting perspective and flexibility to her cooking class - I loved the way she made fusion cooking accessible for us. Most impressively, Chef Parasti did an excellent job accommodating my allergies. Considering I’m a Celiac with shellfish and dairy allergies, this is a serious accomplishment because I cannot handle cross contamination in my food. Definitely recommend her class. I know I’ll be bringing my friends back for more.

I highly recommend a cooking class with Chef Parsati! We did a class with her to celebrate a birthday and it was wonderful. Chef Parsati is a wealth of knowledge and taught us delicious recipes, cooking techniques, and answered our many questions. She was also extremely careful and thoughtful on hygiene and safety. Food was delicious and it was a very memorable experience!

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!

This class was so much fun! It was our first date night in a long time and was perfect. We felt completely safe with all of the covid precautions in place, learned to make amazing food, and enjoyed an excellent dinner with excellent company. Chef Parsati explained everything, gave us confidence, taught superb technique, and was very patient and funny. We couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. We will definitely be taking more classes with Chef Parsati to learn even more styles of cooking from around the globe.

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.

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!

This cooking class was such a treat! I learned new ingredients, techniques, and equipment so that I’m able to cook for my friends and family. Chef Parsati really gave great insight in cooking vegan Indian food. And the food was top notch at the very end. Thank you so much. I will see you next time for another cooking class!

We felt very welcomed by and at home with chef Parsati. Very educational experience! We learned so much about this style of cooking and other little tips and tricks we never knew before in the kitchen. This would be a great class for both beginner and expert home cooks. The food was absolutely delicious and we can’t wait to try and it at home - super simple, healthy ingredients.

My wife and I took a couples cooking class, and we chose Chef Parsati’s because we enjoy Indian food and love the idea of using and eating everything. Chef Parsati was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. She helped explain cooking techniques and broke down the recipe so we, as amateurs, could understand. The finished product was delicious as it was healthy! I would definitely recommend this class to anyone looking to try something new and learn some techniques that they will be able to use every time they cook.

Chef Parsati was friendly and welcoming and her kitchen was clean. I got to see the recipe being prepared close up and Chef was open to any and all questions. I chose this class as my wife likes salmon even though I don't eat fish. So how come I ate my whole serving? Because it was absolutely delicious. Tender, flaky and the unique spice seasoning was something i will use in other recipes. Their was also a kale salad that was really good. I don't typically use kale in salads but having see it slightly wilted using this method and with the sweet and tangy dressing, I will be rethinking. I feel confident that I now have the skills to cook this meal. Definitely recommend this type of class for beginners who want to gain some confidence in cooking certain dishes. Some hands on prep was involved but not a full station set up. A very enjoyable evening overall.

Amazing experience of an authentic multi-course meal. Convenient spotless cooking space, comfortable kitchen utensils, mise en place of everything needed when we arrived. All the necessary covid-related precautions. The instructions were very thoughtful and informative, with lots of tips on how to handle authentic ingredients, spices, and how to adjust the recipe to someone's taste. Chef Parsati was super attentive and delightful to learn from. And, of course, the meal was fantastically delicious. Amazing experience for a date night! Thank you, chef Parsati!

Chef Parsati is a great master of Indian cuisine. You will not only walk out of her clean and socially-distant kitchen with the delicious aftertaste of an excellent Indian dinner but also with the know-how of some essential secrets to prepare this type of delicacy food on your own. Give it a try, it is worth every dollar.

Chef Parsati provided excellent communication prior to the class! She ensured if I had any dietary restrictions or allergies and was very conscientious to include me in the decision making during the process of preparing the grilled Salmon steaks and vegetables. The class was personalized and the chef is very knowledgeable; prepared; and efficient. She encouraged me to keep it simple and delicious! I learned new things and enjoyed a delicious meal (with leftovers to take home)! I would recommend this!

I loved the experience. Chef’s knowledge about the dishes and clear guide for using equipment was so very helpful. I was amazed at how fast a great, healthy meal could be made using fresh, ingredients. I’m sure to take another class. Great experience. I cannot wait to make my own chicken kabob. Butter chicken. Pulao and peas. So exciting and great easy instructions and I loved the thoughtful choices for my first class with Chef Parsati.

Chef Parsati was wonderful to work with. It was a pleasure to work with her before the classes to discuss the menu and other creative ideas to make the classes more interactive and special for the attendees. Chef Parsati led the class through cooking a number of dishes that were all very flavorful, healthy, colorful, and allowed for the children to be involved. Everything tasted very yummy, and it's amazing she was able to make so many delicious dishes during the two-hour window of the class. We enjoyed trying a curry, a rice dish, a chicken dish, and some wonderful sides/accompaniments. It is clear how much Parsati loves cooking and has a gift for creating delicious and healthy recipes. She is passionate about sharing that gift with adults and children alike and helping them learn to cook flavorful food in their own home kitchens.

I loved that the session was hands-on and engaging. Young kids had the opportunity to be involved in prepping the meal, as well as learning about how it was made. Chef Parsati was thoughtful in the way she explained the technique and encouraged active participation.
