Every dish we prepared was delicious, and she adjusted the level of spice perfectly to match our preferences. We received clear, detailed explanations throughout the class, which made the cooking process easy to follow and enjoyable.

I highly recommend this class to anyone looking for an authentic, enjoyable, and well‑guided Indian cooking experience.
5/5 from Gail Nordby, attended Feb 2026: For me this class was a birthday present and an introduction to cooking Indian food. My husband and I very much enjoyed Chef Parsati’s Class and learned a lot. Chef Parsati was very knowledgeable about the spices and techniques used to make delicious chicken Biriyani and Tandoori Aloo and other dishes.

This made for a great birthday gift and something that we can replicate at home easily. Yummy!

The food we made turned out delicious, and I learned so many helpful techniques. Parsati was not only knowledgeable but also very thoughtful-she took the time to answer all my questions and considered my dietary needs throughout the class. I especially appreciated how she focused on methods that are quick and practical for everyday cooking. I left feeling inspired and confident to recreate the dishes at home. I’d highly recommend this class to anyone, especially those new to cooking.

5/5 from Gareth Halladay, attended Sep 2024: I took a cooking class with Parsati this weekend and it was so much fun! We made several dishes and with each step she explained why it was important to do things in a specific way. She had great analogies with foods that I had cooked previously and took the time to show us where we could simplify steps to speed up the process and make the recipe more accessible. Everything turned out delicious and I’m confident that I can recreate the dish at home. We both bought customized spice boxes at the end of the class. I look forward to attending one of her classes again!
5/5 from Arabela Espinoza, attended Dec 2023: I had such an awesome experience with Chef Parsati! She provided such a welcoming space and although I happened to be running a little late, it was so kind of her to make sure I didn’t miss out on seeing/learning how the main cooking dishes were made. She was animated, informative and just overall fun. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn more about the importance of adding spices to your dishes to create such flavorful foods! :)
5/5 from Angelique Zuluaga, attended Dec 2023: This was an awesome experience Chef Parsati led the class beautifully, patiently, the food was delicious and the process very well explained. My son absolutely loved it, we’re definitely returning for more classes with her!
5/5 from Vibhor, attended Aug 2023: It was a great, comprehensive experience from start to finish. All the necessary ingredients/cutlery were readily available. The teacher was able to take a very complex dish break it down to a level that beginners can navigate. There were great explanations behind the effects of different ingredients, their portions, their methods, and how they factor into aesthetics and taste. As expected the dishes turned out great!

5/5 from Jim Chan, attended Jul 2023: Chef Parsati was the best! She was very personable, kind, fun and is an expert at her craft. We made a delicious 3 course meal together: including delicious chicken biriani, spiced potatoes, and dessert (halwa)! She was very knowledgeable about the spices, the importance of each step of the cooking process and even shared alternatives to make it easier/faster for our lifestyle (healthy, modern day, faster pace). By the end we were able to enjoy a home cooked delicious meal and loved her hospitality and gratiousness! Would recommend to anyone interested in making Indian food- it demystified what was seemingly very daunting for us!
5/5 from Anjanette Javellana, attended Feb 2023: The venue was very welcoming. the chef was very thorough in explaining all the basic ingredient that comes with the meal. She was also very intuitive, on how to combine ingredients that could be available locally in the local market.
5/5 from Julie Ngo, attended Feb 2023: Great for team building. Highly suggest for larger groups to book 3 hours. The venue was easy to find, spacious and clean and all the supplies were provided for the cooking class. The food turned out fantastic!
5/5 from Song Vo, attended Jan 2023: My girlfriend and I took this class last weekend and we really enjoyed it! Chef Parsati turned Indian food, which is intimidating and complicated, and made learning how to cook it seem simple and streamlined. We enjoyed her extensive knowledge on the topic and countless tip we learned from her. Super clean working environment and she makes sure to involve you in every step. Would love to see a fusion pizza class from her!
5/5 from Felicia Sanborn, attended Nov 2022: Our team building event with Chef Parsati was terrific! Food was delicious and made with fresh ingredients and everyone enjoyed themselves. There were no reviews yet when I booked this event so I didn’t know what to expect. Chef Parsati was very welcoming and made us feel very comfortable. She did a great job teaching us how to cook a vegetarian Indian meal but keeping the work very manageable so we could still socialize and have fun. One thing to know is that the event is held in a home that is set up for corporate events and not a commercial building. This made it feel like going to a friend’s house but it was very professional and clean like you’d expect from a business. I would definitely recommend doing your team building event with Chef Parsati.
