WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE COOKING CLASSES IN SAN JOSE
Tiffany T.
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!
Patty D.
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)
amazing kind chef. what is truly great here is that you learn basics that apply to everything.
Naomi B.
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.
