Recent reviews of Indian Cooking Class: Biryani and South Classics
- 5/5 from Max Shoka, attended Oct 2026: I booked this cooking class as a birthday gift for my wife and we had a fabulous time with our family and a few friends. While planning the event Chef Raage was very responsive and helpful. The class took place at Chef Raage's house, with the kitchen being large, nicely decorated, and very clean. The cooking instructions were easy to follow and fun. Our meal turned out delicious and it's something we'll definitely try at home. Throughout the experience, Chef Raage was knowledgeable and very friendly. I recommend the class with no hesitation!
- 5/5 from Laura Garner, attended Jul 2026: Super fun and engaging! Chef knew all the tricks and passed on her wisdom to us. Made a tasty Biryani and Indian fried chicken. Super yummy! Would definitely recommend
- 5/5 from Lashawnda Wells, attended May 2026: If you are looking for an authentic and immersive culinary experience, Chef Rajee’s cooking class is an absolute must. I booked this as a surprise for my boyfriend’s birthday, and it couldn’t have been more perfect—from start to finish, the entire session was a 10/10 experience. Her kitchen is absolutely beautiful, providing the perfect backdrop for a hands-on lesson. What truly sets Rajee apart is her deep knowledge and her ability to make complex flavors feel accessible. She walked us through her incredible collection of whole spices, explaining the history and regional significance of each one across different areas of India. It was fascinating to see how she transforms these raw ingredients into fragrant powders, and she even showed us the secrets behind making her own ghee and yogurt from scratch. She also helped me with my knife skills. Beyond the technical skills, Rajee is a fantastic instructor with a warm, engaging personality that makes the kitchen feel welcoming. We didn't just follow recipes; we gained a true understanding of the soul of Indian cuisine while preparing a meal that tasted absolutely incredible. It definitely gave us the confidence to order from Indian restaurants on our own and prepare for our trip to India one day. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just want to level up your cooking, you will leave her class with new skills and a deeper appreciation for Indian culture. Highly recommend!

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.
