I did the South Indian cooking class with Chef Raaje. We learned how to make 4 dishes total and I had so much fun! Even though I normally don't cook much, Chef Raaje made me feel very at ease the entire time and was very attentive. Apart from the recipes, Chef Raaje was also very helpful and shared a lot of cooking tips and knowledge throughout the class. I would definitely recommend this class to anybody, whether you are a seasoned cook or just someone who wants to try something new and different!

I had the most amazing experience taking a one-on-one cooking class with Rajeswari! From the moment I arrived, she was incredibly warm, kind, and welcoming. As the only student in the class, I got her full attention, and it truly felt like a private masterclass in Indian cooking. We made several delicious dishes — Chicken Biryani, Chicken 65, Mango Lassi, and a refreshing Cucumber Onion Raita. Each one was bursting with flavor, and Rajeswari made the process so easy to follow, breaking everything down step by step. She also took the time to explain the health benefits of the ingredients, like how yogurt supports digestion, or how turmeric and spices can reduce inflammation and boost immunity. It wasn’t just a cooking lesson — it was an experience filled with learning, laughter, and some of the best food I’ve ever made. I left feeling confident and inspired, with recipes I’ll definitely be making again. I can’t recommend Rajeswari’s class highly enough!
Chef Rajeswari shares the vibrant flavors of southern India with the Bay Area through her immersive cooking classes and catering. Specializing in the bold, aromatic dishes of Chettinad cuisine, she draws inspiration from her Tamil Nadu roots and family traditions. With a personal touch in every recipe, Chef Rajeswari delights students and diners alike, making the complexities of Indian cooking feel approachable, flavorful and unforgettable.
