We had a lot of fun working with Chef Paru. We brought our daughter to the event, and Chef Paru was able to adjust the recipes so our kid could enjoy her food. Parsati is very warm and knowledgeable, having cooked her way through many countries. She has a caring and fun personality that makes you feel welcome. The setting is clean and welcoming, and the ingredients are all organic. Overall, we had a really good time!

Chef Parsati is sweet and kind welcoming us to her home. Her home is very clean and organized. Being an amateur in the kitchen, she was able to walk me through the steps for cooking without feeling too pressured. The food (Vegetarian Japanese) itself was amazing and less greasy than what we’ve had in restaurants. It was an awesome experience for our anniversary. Thank you Chef for the great food and hospitality.

“Paru” gave my friend and I a fascinating short course on the cuisine of Northern India and then we sat down to a delicious meal we had helped prepare with her guidance. We learned so many things and are well on our way to a new culinary journey in our own kitchens! Every one of the 4 dishes is a “keeper!”

It was an honor to be welcomed into her home, sharing not just recipes but her rich culture.

I learned a lot, made wonderful connections, and now I'm excited to share these fantastic recipes with my family! Highly recommend Chef Parsati's classes for a delightful culinary journey.

The chef was not only very friendly but also very clean. She kept everything very clean and sanitary in the kitchen and encouraged all the participants to wash their hands before cooking. She was open minded and modified the recipe a bit to work with my guest's spicy comfort level.

- Tobin

It's difficult to express the entire range of feelings and flavors that my partner and I experienced, mostly because language is insufficient. Chef Parsati cultivated an experienced that intersected culture and personal experience. We were able to enjoy the flavors of Northern India in a way that fit our personal flavor profile. Her class was an experience that spanned food chemistry, culinary flow, and physiological health benefits. Every herb, ever spice was very intentional. Her passion cannot be over stated. If you are fortunate enough to find a time frame that works for you, do yourself a favor and book an afternoon or evening with Chef Parsati.

My wife and I were the only ones in the class that day so had the full attention of Chef Parsati. She added the personal touch of learning about us and what we liked to eat, and we learned a lot about her journey as a chef. There were quite a few dishes to prepare in the class so it was hectic at times. We had a blast but could be a bit overwhelming for those looking for a more relaxing experience. The food turned out amazing and we were full by the end of the meal. Thank you, Chef Parsati!

I have had the pleasure of taking Chef Parsati’s “A Tour of Northern India” class. In a warm and inviting atmosphere, Chef Parsati provided detailed and easy-to-follow instruction, including interesting background on the many ingredients, as well as generalized cooking tips that will apply well beyond the particular dishes prepared. I recommend Chef Parsati class without reservation.

Cooking with Chef Parsati was a great experience! She told us she wanted us to feel like guests in her home just making and enjoying a meal together and that’s exactly how it felt! I learned a lot and enjoyed it very much!

Chef Parsati was great for our corporate team building event! She brought everything needed for us to make the dumplings and helped us steam them afterwards for a tasty meal. She included both vegetarian and chicken options and was careful to keep them separate. While we were making them Chef Parsati explained the importance of each ingredient and how it'd contribute to the end taste and showed us multiple ways to fold the dumplings. Our team really enjoyed the event!

This was an excellent class! Chef Parsati catered the class to my dietary restrictions and made sure to provide examples along the way of different things I could try and alternatives that could work well with every dish. The food was amazing, and I left the class having learned a ton about how to make Indian food at home on my own. Overall a great experience!

- Kamdi N.

Chef Parsati was wonderful to work with. It was a pleasure to work with her before the classes to discuss the menu and other creative ideas to make the classes more interactive and special for the attendees. Chef Parsati led the class through cooking a number of dishes that were all very flavorful, healthy, colorful, and allowed for the children to be involved. Everything tasted very yummy, and it's amazing she was able to make so many delicious dishes during the two-hour window of the class. We enjoyed trying a curry, a rice dish, a chicken dish, and some wonderful sides/accompaniments. It is clear how much Parsati loves cooking and has a gift for creating delicious and healthy recipes. She is passionate about sharing that gift with adults and children alike and helping them learn to cook flavorful food in their own home kitchens.

- Garrick Chan

Chef Parsati provided excellent communication prior to the class! She ensured if I had any dietary restrictions or allergies and was very conscientious to include me in the decision making during the process of preparing the grilled Salmon steaks and vegetables. The class was personalized and the chef is very knowledgeable; prepared; and efficient. She encouraged me to keep it simple and delicious! I learned new things and enjoyed a delicious meal (with leftovers to take home)! I would recommend this!

- Linda Matkovich

I loved the experience. Chef’s knowledge about the dishes and clear guide for using equipment was so very helpful. I was amazed at how fast a great, healthy meal could be made using fresh, ingredients. I’m sure to take another class. Great experience. I cannot wait to make my own chicken kabob. Butter chicken. Pulao and peas. So exciting and great easy instructions and I loved the thoughtful choices for my first class with Chef Parsati.

- Paula

I loved that the session was hands-on and engaging. Young kids had the opportunity to be involved in prepping the meal, as well as learning about how it was made. Chef Parsati was thoughtful in the way she explained the technique and encouraged active participation.
