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.

Just finished an amazing cooking experience with Chef Parsati!! She tailored her recipes to my family's dietary needs and shared her philosophy and techniques around healthy cooking. Chef talked about the key spices, how to use them, and the ratios and order to ensure the most flavorful dishes. The food was AMAZING! I will definitely book another class with her next month when I am back in California.

We had SUCH a good time with Chef Parsati!! She made the class a very welcoming experience, in a homey setting, with plenty of hands-on instruction and fun. The recipes are _delicious_! My wife and I will 100% be making them in our kitchen, especially since Chef Parsati specifically talked about ways that we could adapt what she taught us to make them even more simple and easily even for a weeknight dinner. I really appreciated that she was super-cognizant of our dietary restrictions and went the extra mile to make sure our concerns were addressed and the meal was enjoyable for everyone involved.

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!

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'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.

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!

This experience was absolutely splendid! Chef Parsati is warm, authentic, fun, funny, knowledgeable, inviting. Really could not say enough about how wonderful she is.

Chef Elham was really well-organized and generous with her advice, even about cooking techniques that weren't explicitly related to the class. (For example, she gave really good tips on knife skills, pans to use, and other tips). I was impressed that the class got to do and learn so much.

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

Thank you Chef Elham! We enjoyed our time learning from you and cooking our new favorite dishes, crepes & soufflé’s!
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.

Chef Elham has a gorgeous home and it was a great place for a cooking class. She has been teaching for sixteen years and has a wide range of styles and expertise to pull from. I loved her version of souffle which also was much easier to make than I had previously thought. I’d love to take another class from her.

We very much enjoyed Parsati’s class! We took Indian Cooking Techniques and learned how to make Chicken Pasanda as well as a rice, salad, and dessert. Parsati was very welcoming, friendly and is clearly an experienced cook in a variety of cuisines. She answered all of our questions knowledgeably, and explained the variations in techniques and ingredients necessary to make many dishes beyond the ones we were making. I’d definitely recommend any class taught by Parsati!

We learned how to cook dumplings of several kinds. The best thing about Chef Parsati was how easily she demonstrated many possible variations of the dishes which catered to our dietary restrictions. The ingredients were healthy and her techniques ensured that the cooking time was sufficiently short to be adapted for a busy schedule. The dessert was amazing as well and I was amazed to see how efficient the techniques she demonstrated were. I will highly recommend this to everyone. This is a great bonding activity for couples.

Booked the class Indian Grilling 101 with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)
Chef Parasati’s Indian grilling class was absolutely fantastic! She is incredibly professional, detail-oriented, and a joy to learn from. What really makes her class special is how she explains the “why” behind everything—why certain spices are used, how they transform flavor, and what they bring to the dish. She goes deep into grilling techniques for both meats and vegetables, explaining how different proteins respond to marinades, spices, and heat. The class isn’t just about following recipes—you actually learn the science and intuition behind great cooking. I also loved her focus on sustainability and minimizing food waste, which adds a thoughtful and practical dimension to her teaching. Overall, this was an engaging, informative, and incredibly enjoyable experience. Highly recommend this class to anyone interested in Indian grilling. A true 5-star experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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!
Booked the class Gluten-Free Dumpling Delights with Chef Parsati in San Jose (Edenvale)
The gluten-free dumpling class with Chef Parvsati was so fun and well organized. It was wonderful that she opened her home to our small group. Though I don't have any dietary restrictions I have loved ones who struggle with gluten so learning substitutes for delicious meals like dumplings was so great! She kept the lesson flowing so we were able to get through all the courses while still getting to know each other. I hope my schedule allows for me to take another one of Chef's classes!

An unforgettable, cozy family experience! We took this gluten-free dumpling cooking class to celebrate my and my daughter’s birthdays, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was so warm and welcoming—it felt like being invited into a friend’s kitchen. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, making sure everyone (including my husband and our two sons) felt involved and confident. The dumplings were amazing—so flavorful and authentic you’d never guess they were gluten-free! We learned so many tips and tricks that we can’t wait to try at home. What really made the class special was how cozy and personal it felt; we laughed, cooked, and shared a truly memorable experience together as a family. Highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a fun, hands-on, and delicious experience—especially if you’re gluten-free or just love learning to cook something new. We’ll definitely be back for another class!
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!

My husband and I attended the Indian cooking techniques class at her home and had a great time. Chef Parsati was very welcoming and helped us prepare four dishes. I learned about the magical Indian spice box that one should keep for Indian cooking since you can use the same spices for a lot of dishes in Indian cooking; the main differences are cooking methods (grill vs stove) and if you use cream or not for the sauce. The food turned out well. I was surprised to learn that you could make pulao in an Instant Pot and it was fairly easy! The dishes we learned about today did not seem too fussy to prepare at home so I’m eager to try these recipes soon!
