• 5/5 from Gretchen M Sustachek, attended Jul 2026: Chef Parsati was excellent! She welcomed us into her beautiful studio and was prepared and ready to start the class upon our arrival. Chef Paro’s pacing was great, and I was surprised at how much we accomplished in the time we had. Her directions were very clear and concise. We all had the opportunity to make two different types of dumplings and even had some soup. The ingredients were all fresh and can be easily found at Trader Joe’s or local Indian grocery stores. We ended our evening with glasses of wine, which guests are allowed to bring, and dined on our dumplings. You will not leave hungry! I recommend this experience to anyone who has an interest in Indo- Asian cuisine. I understand Chef Paro offers many cooking classes and look forward to another opportunity in her lovely kitchen/studio. Perfect setting for a group of 5-6.

Learning the art of the pleat was a highlight—the step-by-step guidance made folding them so easy to grasp. The best part was getting to eat a mountain of our own delicious creations at the end. I left feeling completely confident that I can replicate these easily at home!

• 5/5 from Pauline Nguyen, attended Sep 2025: Chef Parsati was a very warm host and knowledgeable chef. I purchased this ClassBento for my friend, who is a practicing vegan, looking to expand her cooking. Welcoming us into her home, Chef Parsati made us comfortable by providing us with house slippers, aprons, water, orange juice, and snacks! Chef Parsati already prepped the materials for us, and all we had left to do was to assemble the ingredients, add spices, and fold the dumplings. We made three kinds of dumplings: 2 vegetable ones and 1 chicken. We learned the best practices for preparing these dumplings, great alternatives for ingredients, and how to make the most of our ingredients. Having mastering culinary and living across Europe and Japan, Chef Parsati has a lot of knowledge to share. The food was colorful, aromatic, and very flavorful. This was my first ClassBento, and I am looking forward to looking into her other classes! Thank you, Chef Parsati!
• 5/5 from Jack Templeton, attended Jul 2025: This class was absolutely wonderful from start to finish! Chef Parsati is kind, friendly, well traveled, and knowledgable. As she taught us to make dumplings, we laughed, shared stories, and discussed the nuances of food and cooking. We finished our class by eating the dumplings we made and they were delicious! We made pan fried and steamed dumplings. Chef Parsati had everything prepped so we didn't waste time and dove right in. My favorite part is that we felt like family and the evening was incredibly fun and laid back. I HIGHLY recommend Chef Parsati's classes and will be taking another one soon!
• 5/5 from Alvin Dai, attended Jun 2025: this was such fun interactive class! Our instructor had such a wonderful energy and the instructions she gave were very clear and easy to follow.

Not to mention also very health conscious as well definitely will take more classes with Chef Paro.
• 5/5 from Rocio Canales, attended May 2025: This class was so wonderful! We made 2 types of dumplings and even got a delicious soup in between! Our instructor was super knowledgeable and so kind!

We left full and still had some extra to take home, I highly recommend this class if you’re looking for a fusion of flavors, delicious food and great company!
• 5/5 from Anonymized ClassBento customer, attended Apr 2025: Chef Parsati explained her philsophy on dumplings with clarity and humour, and taught us how to make two different kinds of dumplings. Before the class, she enquired about food allergies; during the class, she was careful to customise the ingredients around our dietary needs. My dumplings turned out delicious! Even though I arrived quite hungry, by the end of the class, I felt satisfied with all the yummy food that I learnt how to make. After the class, Chef Parsati was prompt in sending me a PDF of the class recipes. If you enjoy dumplings and want to make your own, take one of Chef Parsati's classes. You'll learn a lot and have a wonderful time!

I wanted to do something special and that we hadn't done before and Chef Parsati fulfilled all of my hopes. We had great conversation, she explained everything really well and gave plenty of tips for substitutes due to food allergies. She was very friendly, made us feel welcome and comfortable and the lesson ended up being fun and delicious. So happy we decided to give dumpling making a try, we were not disappointed.
