Hi there! I’m Rajeswari, also known as Chef Raaje — wife, mother, and chef. I grew up in Madurai, South India, a city filled with ancient temples and incredible food. Today, I call the Bay Area home, another place known for its rich culture and vibrant flavors.
Cooking has always been my passion. My mom and my husband are my biggest inspirations, and many of my recipes come from them. I love giving each dish my own flavor and twist, with most of my cooking rooted in the bold and aromatic Chettinad cuisine of Tamil Nadu.
I run my catering and cooking class business from home and have been a top chef on Shef.com for nearly four years. Alongside hosting cooking classes in the Bay Area, I’m also available for private requests if you’d like to bring a flavorful, hands-on experience to your home or event.
