We signed up for this class for my daughter's birthday party and Chef Parsati handled the group of 10 girls with expertise. Everyone enjoyed it. Thanks again!

Booked the class Perfecting Sushi Rolls with Chef Elham in San Jose (Northside)

We had a great time! Chef Elham opened up her home to us, had all the ingredients ready and provided a nice set up. There were 8 people in the class which made it a lot more fun. Such a great experience. The downside to it (nothing to do with the chef) the app needs to be more clear on the area that you’re booking the class in… And… There needs to be more communication before they take your money. This is legit class and the company is real. The way they book the class makes you feel like it is a scam. Other than that, Chef Elham made it a positive and fun experience.

Such a blast! Great group, lots of fun, and now I feel like a sushi pro. Ask Chef Mike about Warren’s world-reknowned Toronto rolls - they’re my new go to sushi roll.

Booked the class Perfecting Sushi Rolls with Chef Elham in San Jose (Northside)

Chef Elham is a very nice lady! I definitely feel a lot more confident making sushi now, but I feel the class could have been a bit more strategical and organized. It was hard to move around in the space to get to some needed items. I also was a bit overloaded with all of the demos being completed at once and trying to remember everything once it was our turn. I could have taken notes though as I understand this is typical for a cooking class. We got to meet her dog who is wonderful, but he was barking for a long time in the back room and even though she was very apologetic, I couldn't help but still be irritated by it. I know it was only her 3rd class so I'm sure there will be much improvement as she continues her teaching endeavors.

Alina W.

Booked the class Vegetarian Japanese Favorites with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

I took Chef Parsati’s vegetarian Japanese cooking class with my niece, and we absolutely loved it! The class was hands-on, beautifully organized, and full of flavor. Chef Parsati made the experience approachable and fun for all ages — she even added a braised salmon dish just for my niece, which was such a thoughtful touch. We learned so many great techniques, from sushi rolling to stir-frying perfect yakisoba noodles, and everything we made tasted incredible — especially the homemade unagi sauce and the silky green tea custard to finish. The atmosphere felt like a true izakaya experience, and Chef Parsati’s warmth and knowledge made it even more special. Highly recommend this class for anyone looking to explore Japanese cooking — whether you’re a beginner, a vegetarian, or just looking for a memorable culinary experience to share with family!

We had an excellent cooking class with Chef Parsati. She was welcoming and full of tips and knowledge.

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.

Rica F.

Booked the class Vegetarian Japanese Favorites with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

Class was very practical as we had hoped and followed the schedule described. However, Chef Parsati spoke a lot about being a zero waste kitchen while frequently throwing out food that could be saved (such as a seaweed sheet she had ripped to show the size we were aiming for)

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.

Chef Mike was great, teaching us the basics for making sushi in a comprehensible, easy way. He had everything ready when we arrived, making for a smooth event. He also made a nice dessert for us. I would enroll in another one of his courses. A few minor opportunities for improvement are that he could facilitate group introductions and/or an icebreaker, as we were 4 groups of 2. In addition, he could consider getting sushi knives, as it could make for an easier intro experience since cutting the sushi is one of the harder things.

Barbara M.

Booked the event Sushi Basics with Chef Mike in San Francisco (Dogpatch)

My two adult kids and I took Chef Mike's Basic Sushi class for my son's birthday. Chef Mike is so nice and invited us into his home as if we were good friends. The atmosphere/vibe was comfortable and easy. He discussed the background basics of sushi before showing us how to make it. Chef Mike took what seemed to be intimidating and made it surprisingly do-able. We had a cohesive group that worked well together and had tons of sushi to share dining together. Chef Mike was very attentive to the vegans and dairy-free requests in fact, he made an amazing dairy-free matcha cake for dessert. It was such a lovely day to share as a family and I would most definitely recommend this class with Chef Mike.

Chef Mike was wonderful to work with. He had all the ingredients ready to go when we arrived and provided great instructions for sushi making. He made us feel at home and was especially considerate for us vegetarians in the group. He gave us great tips on substitutes for fish and was overall a wonderful host! Highly recommended!
