Booked the class Vegan Indian Spread with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

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!

Chef Parsati was very accommodating with our dietary restrictions and scheduling (and rescheduling) of the class. The class was conducted in her home. We had a healthy menu with salmon steak, kale salad, and flourless fudge. She taught us how to substitute items and about the health benefits of a lot of ingredients. The food we made was so good! thank you!

Chef Parsati was awesome! She was very knowledgeable about cooking and shared tips in a easy to remember way. The food was amazing (healthy seasonal indian cuisine) and I am already planning on making it for my friends this week. My team had a great time cooking and eating together in your home. Thank you!

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!

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!

Booked the class Healthy Seasonal Indian Cuisine with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

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.

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!

We had a wonderful time learning from and cooking with Chef Parsati! She is so kind, welcoming and truly a wealth of knowledge. We learned so much about different spices and proper food preparation.

Booked the class Balanced Ayurvedic Cooking with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

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!

I booked a private lesson with Chef Parsati, and she is AMAZING. The class was perfectly tailored to meet my needs. She really takes the time to listen and customize your learning experience to ensure you get the most out of it. I have learned so much from Chef Parsati. I highly, highly, highly recommend booking with her. She is a wealth of knowledge, and an incredible instructor! You will love her teachings.

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.

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!

Booked the class Brain Food to Boost Your Mood with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)

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.

Motoko was great! She was instructive, brought fresh materials from her own garden and introduced us to them, and was an all-around lovely person. The food was delicious too!

James S.

Booked the class Japanese Rice Bowl with Chef Motoko

Chef Motoko prepared a delicious and healthy Japanese lunch for us. She sourced many of the incredibly fresh ingredients for the meal from her own garden. A few of the ingredients I had never tasted before and we loved the flavors. Chef Motoko helped teach us how to make a simple and flavorful sushi bowl as well as a very unique miso soup both of which I can’t wait to make at home. I really liked Chef Motoko who was personable with a homespun style of instruction that was very easy to understand.

Booked the class Make Your Own Kimchi with Chef Stacey in San Jose (Broadway - Palmhaven)

Attending Chef Stacey's home for a cooking class is like walking into a magazine editorial- her space is absolutely AMAZING. From the kitchen to the patio to the garden, her place is the perfect space to host a cooking class. Chef Stacey is extremely passionate about healthy food and I learned so much from her. The lecture was very informative and the food was absolutely delicious.

Chef Parsati was great and full of warmth - in her teachings, her food, and her hospitality. In "Brain Food to Boost Your Mood" we co-created an artisanal salmon and kale main dish, along with an avocado appetizer (great with naan!) and almond fudge dessert. Healthy ingredients, but so great in taste! Thank You, Chef, for an amazing meal and experience!

Our Christmas cooking experience this year was nothing short of magical. From the moment we stepped into the kitchen, Chef Parsati made us feel like part of a culinary family. Her vast knowledge of Indian cooking techniques and ingredients was truly impressive, but what really stood out was his warmth and approachability. Throughout the session, she shared not only his expertise but also personal stories that made the atmosphere feel cozy and inviting. We laughed together, learned together, and by the end of the day, we felt a genuine connection—almost as if we had been friends for years. This experience was more than just a cooking class; it was a memorable journey filled with delicious food and heartfelt moments that we will cherish for a long time. We left not only with new recipes but also with wonderful memories of a wonderful afternoon shared with a truly talented chef.

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!!

What a blast! Chef Parsati is experienced and knowledgeable in so many cuisines. We learned so much in our session with her. We were gifted a snack before we started, got to hear about her amazing background, and enjoyed complimentary juice and tea during our stay. She explained every step and included us in every task. What a wonderful way to spend our anniversary, thank you for hosting us in your beautiful kitchen and thank you for sharing you recipe with us and your precious knowledge on how and why food can be good and good for you!

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!!
