Cooking Class - From Handmade Fettuccine to Tiramisu

Learned how to make chicken tikka masala. Chef was VERY thorough in explaining everything and going step by step, very interactive. My boyfriend and I will be coming back!

I had SUCH a wonderful time with Chef Rajeswari! She was so informative and passionate about the food she cooks. The meal was delicious and I'm excited to try the recipes at home. I can't recommend Chef Rajeswari enough!!

Chef Rajeswari was great! She instantly made my wife and daughter feel at home. The food was amazing. She had so many tips! The experience was a surprise gift for my birthday, I would recommend this class to anyone who likes Indian food and wants to improve their skills in the kitchen.

We had a wonderful time learning how to make dosas, medhu vada, and chutneys. We really liked learning about the health benefits. Chef Raaje made the experience fun and informative!

My husband and I booked this class as a late Valentines Day celebration and we had such a wonderful time! Chef Rajeswari is so talented and kind. The class was so much fun, informative and of course the food was beyond delicious! We also learned so much about healing properties of herbs and spices used in Indian cooking. I would highly recommend taking her class!

Great time learning the Biriyani. Overall a great experience and really enjoyed her class

Was a good experience. Myself along with my 11 year old son did this class and it was super rewarding. Rajee was a great chef and a coach. She brings a great mix of energy from south indian traditions and understanding the american way of doing things. My son already wants to do another session.

I had a lot of fun learning to make Biryani with Chef Raaje. She communicated things clearly and explained a lot about the different spices and their health benefits. We ate a great meal and got leftovers too! A great class and I would definitely go again.

A lovely introduction to making dosa, coconut chutney, and Medium Vada, a South Indian crispy savory donut. Hands on experience, clear recipes, and lots of great tips.

Chef Raaje was amazing. We made dosa, medhu vada, and coconut chutney, all of which were delicious. Raaje was a patient and fun teacher, and made us feel very welcome into her home. I cannot recommend the class enough!

This class would be recommended to anyone who wants a hands on, approachable introduction to Indian cooking, whether you are trying these dishes for the first time or looking to build confidence, technique, and intuition in your own kitchen.

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 Raaje’s wonderful explanations—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!

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!

We had such a fun experience with Chef Rajeswari yesterday. She warmly welcomed us into her home and shared her knowledge, tips and techniques for preparing authentic, delicious Indian food. Although we cook regularly, we had little experience with this cuisine outside of a restaurant setting. ‘Raaje’ teaches in such an engaging way, using recipes that will be easily transferred to our home kitchen. We learned a lot and were rewarded with our tasty meal at the end! We highly recommend taking a class with Chef Raaje. It was lovely.

It was really good! She explained everything very thoroughly and suggested substitutions when available.

From the time that we arrived and to the end of our wonderful cooking and learning experience, we felt very welcomed. It was very informative and we learned a lot about India. The experience exceeded our expectations.

Excellent class. Very easy to follow along.

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 that’s outside of the curriculum. It’s so hard to find good vegetarian cooking class in the bay so this is a lifesaver for my vegetarian fiancé’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.

Raje was an incredible instructor! Such a fun experience and we felt welcome in her home

Chef Raaje was amazing. Her kitchen was super clean and well organized. She was funny and pleasant to be around and a great teacher. Above all the food came out great. I really appreciated how she explained all the different spices and the reasons why we were cooking with them. My wife had an excellent birthday. Thank you Chef Raaje!!! See you soon!!!

Amazing experience! Highly recommend! And the result was delicious!

We took the Biryani class and had a blast! Chef Raji was very organized, had all the ingredients ready and prepared delicious masala chai and samosas for us when we arrived. She explained each ingredient to us, how we can prepare them at home or where we can find them in stores which was really helpful. All the ingredients she used were homemade, even the herbs were freshly picked from her garden! The food tasted amazing and overall it was a fun while educational experience. We not only learned how to cook delicious dishes but also learned about food from different parts of India. You can tell that Chef Raji put a lot of thought behind her classes and is really passionate about her food. I would definitely recommend her classes and would take them again myself!

This was an extraordinary class! Chef Rajeswari is impeccably organized, and everything was perfectly measured and arranged for us to use. Especially since this is a new class, I was amazed at how smoothly everything flowed - Disney could take notes from her on how to handle cleaning and transitions! We chopped the vegetables, chopped fresh herbs from her garden, and cooked/assembled all 4 dishes. I really appreciate how while we were assembling, she explained all the sorts of techniques and varieties in this style of cooking. For example, in our session I learned how to prepare the ginger garlic paste at home, the different varieties of Indian rice besides basmati, what sorts of oils work best for frying Chicken 65, and the delightful story of its name! Most important, of course, is the listed dishes themselves - and those were phenomenal. For the Chicken 65 we prepared the marinade and fried the chicken, along with the delightful touch of fresh curry leaves at the end. I've never made biryani before - that is why I took the class - and the biryani that we made was more delicious that what I've had at restaurants. The raita and lassi were simple and very good - and I learned, for example, that I can add milk (and even ice cream) to my lassi to make it a bit smoother. After taking this class, I feel that I can make these on my own. When we sat down to dinner, there was a ton of food that we'd cooked and it all smelled and tasted delicious. Chef Rajeswari also brought out a few items which were not on the menu that she'd prepared beforehand, and they were - of course - fantastic. Chef Rajewsari (and her husband) is kind, charming, welcoming, and an absolute delight to learn from. Her recipes are delicious, and she is just really fun to be with! I will be trying out the printed recipes on my own in a few days, and I fully intend to take more of her classes in the future.

Chef Rajeswari is super experienced and has great experiences to share with us.
