Team Building Activity: Duel of the Dumplings

Once everyone is well-versed in dumpling-making, they'll split into teams to create their own unique dumpling flavors.

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!

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!”
